I always lose track of the buffer I am at because buffers get shifted all the time.

It is easier to show than explain.

Here's what it looks like in bufferline.nvim:

Here's how it looks like in barbar:

An option to change this setting would be nice.

@sarmong I think for the time being if you prefer the way barbar handles it, it will be better to stick with that plugin, what you describe as an option would be quite a big change it's definitely possible maybe preferable I'm not sure, but basically this plugin went one way and barbar another on how it behaves.

It's not an issue of a simple if statement, at a glance it would be much easier to maintain one approach or the other i.e. use truncation markers and keep things centered or do what barbar does. Frankly I don't know currently which I'd prefer but I would almost certainly not try and maintain both, I worry about everyone else who won't like this change and it'll frankly be probably a chunk of work.

Tbh I've gotten quite a few feature requests across my repos just this morning. Would be really great to see some requester step up and look into how/if they could implement the functionality they want 🙏🏾

@sarmong just to be absolutely clear, this is a not a no. If you are willing to take the time to look into an implementation as an option, please go ahead. You can probably do it by making the truncation logic optional and in the else clause you could look at how to handle advancing the tabline as a user navigates backward and forwards and reaches the end

Thanks. I am still working on the best way to approach buffers, tabs. marks in my workflow, but if I am going to stick to bufferline, I will look into this
