description

Switch between MRU buffers from the current session. Like CTRL-^, but reach more buffers (and maintain only one global list, not one list per window). Usage:   Press  <Space>  to show the most recently used buffer and enter Bufmru mode.   In Bufmru mode:   Press  f  or  b  (forward/backward) to reach more MRU buffers.   Press  e  or  <Enter>  to accept the current choice.   Press  q  or  <Esc>  to quit the mode and to go back to the start buffer   Press  y  to copy a file name Configuration:   :let g:bufmru_switchkey = "<Space>"       (checked once) Key to enter Bufmru mode.   :let g:bufmru_confclose = 0       (always) Use :confirm (1) when abandoning a modified buffer.       Otherwise (0, default) you'll get an error message, unless 'hidden'       is set.   :let g:bufmru_bnrs = []       (always) The internal stack of buffer numbers.  Normally, you'll       leave this alone, but you can manually add or remove buffer numbers       or initialize the list.  Don't worry about wrong numbers.   :let g:bufmru_read_nummarks = 0       (once) Put the number mark '0 ... '9 buffers in g:bufmru_bnrs.  This adds       buffers to the buffer list! wildmenu version only:   g:bufmru_wildmenu   (dictionary, initially not defined)       (always) Instance of autoload/wildmenu.vim to show buffer names in a       wildmenu-like list.  If not defined, bufmru tries to load the autoload       script.  If that fails the value becomes empty ({}) -- and bufmru       quite unusable.   :let g:bufmru_wilditems = "bufnr,shortpath"       (always) How to display entries in the "wildmenu":       "bufnr"         with prepended buffer number       "shortpath"     with pathshorten() applied to the bufname()       There is no error message for wrong items. splashbufs version only:   :let g:bufmru_lazy_filetype = 0       (checked always) If 1, do lazy filetype detection when going through       the buffers with f and b.  Not used if 'hidden' is set. special buffer: 'buftype' not empty or 'previewwindow' set Related: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Easier_buffer_switching Where it began: http://groups.google.com/group/vim_use/msg/adb4f35772ecbcbe Another MRU buffers script!  But it requires Ruby (that I haven't installed): LustyJuggler vimscript #2050

install details

bufmru 2.x         wildmenu version.  Buffers are shown in a wildmenu like list in the         cmdline area.         Unpack the archive into ~\vimfiles or a similar folder from your         'runtimepath'.  Files in the archive:             plugin/bufmru.vim             autoload/anwolib.vim             autoload/wildmenu.vim             doc/bufmru.txt bufmru 3.x         splashbufs version.  It is just the plugin file without external         dependencies.  Buffers are switched instantly like with CTRL-^; but         switching is meant to be a preview as long as Bufmru is active.         Copy bufmru.vim to ~\vimfiles\plugin or a similar plugin folder.
