Question: Close Buffer with <esc>

[harrisoncramer]

Hello! Thanks so much for building this.

Would it be possible to name the messages buffer, or provide some sort of identifying information?

I'd love to be able to hit <esc> to close it, but I'm not seeing it in the :buffers call and not sure how to target it with a lua function. Apologies if this isn't in scope. Thanks!

Change the prepare_buffer function in your messages.nvim config:

prepare_buffer = function(opts)
  local buf = vim.api.nvim_create_buf(false, true)
  vim.keymap.set('n', '<Esc>', '<cmd>close<cr>', {buffer = buf})
  return vim.api.nvim_open_win(buf, true, opts)
end,

You also may want to try this patch #14 , it allows you specify buffer options (filetype, number column, syntax highlinghting, etc.).

The following lua code maps q to :close<cr> for messages.nvim message capture buffers.

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("FileType", {
	pattern = { "messages" },
	callback = function(args)
		vim.keymap.set("n", "q", "<cmd>close<cr>",
          { silent = false, noremap = true, buffer = args.buf, }
        )
	end,
})

First route worked like a charm, thank you!
