Ordering tabs in Vim minibufexplorer

Question

Is there a way to reorder tabs in Vim minibufexplorer? Or when I opened them once, should they stay that way until I close Vim?

Answer 1

Vim always assigns the next sequence number to a new buffer. minibufexplorer shows the buffers in this sequential order . Since you cannot reassign new buffer numbers , you have three options:

• Ask fholgado to implement this function (it has a minibufexplorer fork and a lot of good stuff has been added);
• Find another buffer enumeration plugin that you like in different sorting mechanisms;
• Use tabs instead of buffers, one tab per buffer ( understand the caveats of this approach ). Using gVim, you can move them as you wish using several shortcuts .
