Screenshot

Features

• Displays filename and buffers in the winbar

• Mouse hover highlighting
• Configurable highlights
• No dependencies

Installation

vim-plug

Add the following to your init.vim or init.lua:

Plug 'olivgr/winbarbuf.nvim'

Then run:

:PlugInstall

Finally, add:

require("winbarbuf").setup()

lazy.nvim

{
    "olivgr/winbarbuf.nvim",
    config = function()
        require("winbarbuf").setup()
    end,
}

Configuration

require("winbarbuf").setup({
    separator = "  ",
    prefix = "b:",
    show_filename = true,
    filename_hl = "WinBar",
    current_hl = "WinBar",
    other_hl = "WinBarOther",
    hover_hl = "WinBarHover",
    right_click = "close",
    hover = true,
})

Tips

• I like to map Ctrl-h to :bprevious and Ctrl-l to :bnext for easy buffer switching.

• If you want to customize the colors for filename_hl, current_hl, other_hl and hover_hl, take a look at the current colors of your colorscheme by typing :highlight. That gives you a list of the currently defined groups and colors.
