description

The buffer browser plugin provides you an easy way to switch from a buffer to another. The layout has been inspired on the taglist script. Press the <F4> key to toggle the buffer list on and off. Help can be displayed by pressing the 'h' key. General keymaps: - <S-F3>/<S-F4> to decrease/increase window height by 1 - <C-S-F3>/<C-S-F4> to decrease/increase window height by 5 Usage when not in buffer list: - <F4> to open/access buffer list panel - \\0 to \\9 to mark window with number - \\p to mark window as preview window Usage when in buffer list: - h to toggle help - q to close buffer list (same as CTRL-W q) - p to preview file in preview window - d to delete currently selected buffer - u to update buffer list - x to toggle path display - s to toggle sorting by buffer number/name/extension - n/N to edit file in new window below/above <F4> - <CR> to edit file in last window visited before <F4> - \\0 to \\9 to edit file in window marked 0 to 9 - <F4> to go back to <F4> window - <S-F3> to decrease buffer list width by 1 - <S-F4> to increase buffer list width by 1 - <C-S-F3> to decrease buffer list width by 5 - <C-S-F4> to increase buffer list width by 5 Remark: the \ is in fact defined as <Leader>, it might thus change regarding your environment settings. Change log: From 1.6 to 1.7: - g:BufList_Hide set to 1 or 0 whether the buflist panel shall be respectively hidden or not once buffer is selected (<CR> key). - Copy buffer no longer erased when buffer is selected or when panel is updated. From 1.5 to 1.6: - buffer path display bug fix - nonumber set for buffer list (thanks to Ian) - <C-S-F3>/<C-S-F4> for increasing/decreasing window size
