- Cross session vacuuming
⚡️ Requirements
- Neovim >=0.10
TOC
📦 Installation
Install the plugin with your preferred package manager:
💤 Lazy.nvim
return {
{
'ChuufMaster/buffer-vacuum',
opts = {}
},
}
⚙️ Configuration
Buffer-Vacuum comes with the following defaults:
{
-- The maximum number of buffers to keep (excluding modified buffer)
max_buffers = 6,
-- Change to True if you want pinned buffers to count to the
-- maximum number buffers
count_pinned_buffers = false,
-- Enable notifications every time a buffer is pinned or deleted
-- Default FALSE
enable_messages = false,
}
🚀 Usage
BufferVacuum exposes 4 commands to the user:
- BufferVacuumPinBuffer: pin the current buffer so that it doesn't get deleted
- BufferVacuumToggle: Toggle buffer-vacuum
- BufferVacuumEnable: Enable buffer-vacuum
- BufferVacuumDisable: Disable buffer-vacuum
Session Persistence
Auto-session Integration
If you're using auto-session and want pinned buffers to persist across sessions, you need to add the following configuration to your auto-session setup:
require('auto-session').setup({
save_extra_cmds = {
function()
local commands = {}
for _, bufnr in ipairs(vim.api.nvim_list_bufs()) do
if vim.b[bufnr].pinned == 1 then
local filename = vim.api.nvim_buf_get_name(bufnr)
if filename ~= "" then
-- Generate command to set buffer variable directly
local escaped_filename = vim.fn.escape(filename, "'\\")
table.insert(commands, "call setbufvar(bufnr('" .. escaped_filename .. "'), 'pinned', 1)")
end
end
end
if vim.tbl_isempty(commands) then
return nil
end
return commands
end
}
-- your other auto-session options...
})
Without this configuration, pinned buffers will not be remembered when you restore a session.
