Wishlist: Tabs with unique buffer lists

Open theamazingfedex opened this issue 9 years ago • 4 comments

I don't know if this is the right plugin to do this, or even if Vim CAN do it, but I would find it extremely useful to be able to mix tabs and buffers together in such a way that each tab has its own list of buffers to go through. Example:

/  1. Tab01  /  2. Tab02   /  3. Tab03  /
/  1. Buf1   /  1. Buf2    /  1. Buf3   /
/  2. Buf4   /  2. Buf5    /            /
/            /  3. Buf6    /            /

Each column of buffers are linked, and able to navigate up/down the list with :bn/:bp. If you get to the bottom of the buffer microlist, wrap back to the top buffer. This would be awesome, and any pointers towards where or how I could achieve this functionality would be greatly appreciated.

Great work on the plugin btw, thanks.

Your welcome on the plugin.

Hum, your feature sounds very interesting. Not sure if I can do this or not... I will need to think about this...

@jlanzarotta have you thought about this feature any more? Is it possible?

In all honestly I have not. Things have been so busy... Off the top of my head thought, if would probably take a good amount of rewrite to accomplish this if bufexplorer in the vehicle to accomplish this... It might be easier to write a new plugin...

To solve this may be usefull some integrating the vim-wintabs plugin, that already separate buffers per tab.
