winbarbar.nvim

Tabs, as understood by any other editor.

screenshot

Notice

This is a fork of barbar.nvim, but heavily modified to render into the winbar instead of tabline. Additionally, all animations are stripped out to simplify the code, since I don't like animations.


winbarbar.nvim is a winbar bufferlist plugin with re-orderable, auto-sizing tabs, icons, nice highlighting, sort-by commands and a magic jump-to-buffer mode. Plus the tab names are made unique when two filenames match.

In jump-to-buffer mode, tabs display a target letter instead of their icon. Jump to any buffer by simply typing their target letter. Even better, the target letter stays constant for the lifetime of the buffer, so if you're working with a set of files you can even type the letter ahead from memory.

Table of content

Install

Using vim-plug

Plug 'kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons'
Plug 'mrjones2014/winbarbar.nvim'
use {
  'mrjones2014/winbarbar.nvim',
  requires = {'kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons'}
}

You can skip the dependency on 'kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons' if you disable icons. If you want the icons, don't forget to install nerd fonts.

Requirements
  • Neovim 0.7

Features

Re-order tabs

reorder

Auto-sizing tabs, fill the space when available

resize

Jump-to-buffer mode

jump

Type a letter to jump to a buffer. Letters stay constant for the lifetime of the buffer. By default, letters are assigned based on buffer name, eg README.md will get letter r. You can change this so that letters are assigned based on usability: home row (asdfjkl;gh) first, then other rows.

Sort tabs automatically

jump

:BufferOrderByDirectory, :BufferOrderByLanguage, :BufferOrderByWindowNumber, :BufferOrderByBufferNumber

Unique names when filenames match

unique-name

Pinned buffers

pinned

bbye.vim for closing buffers

A modified version of bbye.vim is included in this plugin to close buffers without messing with your window layout and more. Available as BufferClose and bufferline#bbye#delete(buf).

Scrollable tabs, to always show the current buffer

scroll

Usage

Mappings & commands

Vim script

No default mappings are provided, here is an example. It is recommended to use the BufferClose command to close buffers instead of bdelete because it will not mess your window layout.

Highlighting

For the highlight groups, here are the default ones. Your colorscheme can override them by defining them. See the "Meaning of terms" comment inside the example below.

let fg_target = 'red'
let fg_current  = s:fg(['Normal'], '#efefef')
let fg_visible  = s:fg(['TabLineSel'], '#efefef')
let fg_inactive = s:fg(['TabLineFill'], '#888888')
let fg_modified  = s:fg(['WarningMsg'], '#E5AB0E')
let fg_special  = s:fg(['Special'], '#599eff')
let fg_subtle  = s:fg(['NonText', 'Comment'], '#555555')
let bg_current  = s:bg(['Normal'], '#000000')
let bg_visible  = s:bg(['TabLineSel', 'Normal'], '#000000')
let bg_inactive = s:bg(['TabLineFill', 'StatusLine'], '#000000')
" Meaning of terms:
"
" format: "Buffer" + status + part
"
" status:
"     *Current: current buffer
"     *Visible: visible but not current buffer
"    *Inactive: invisible but not current buffer

" part:

"       *Index: buffer index
"         *Mod: when modified
"        *Sign: the separator between buffers

" BufferTabpageFill: filler after the buffer section
" BufferOffset: offset section, created with set_offset()
call s:hi_all([
\ ['BufferCurrent',        fg_current,  bg_current],
\ ['BufferCurrentIndex',   fg_special,  bg_current],
\ ['BufferCurrentMod',     fg_modified, bg_current],

\ ['BufferVisibleIcon',  'BufferVisible'],
\ ['BufferInactiveIcon', 'BufferInactive'],
\ ['BufferOffset',       'BufferTabpageFill'],
\ ])
" NOTE: this is an example taken from the source, implementation of
" s:fg(), s:bg(), s:hi_all() and s:hi_link() is left as an exercise
" for the reader.

See code for the example above

You can also use the doom-one.vim colorscheme that defines those groups and is also very pleasant as you could see in the demos above.

Known Issues

Netrw

:BufferNext/:BufferPrevious don't work in netrw buffer due to an issue in netrw. See this comment for a workaround.
