Feature: buffer finder #32

Open beefsack opened 7 years ago

Hello, fantastic plugin! Tried it for the first time today and I think it's brilliant (have previously used a lot of different file finders, most recently using fzf.)

One thing I've always used with my file finders is a buffer finder. It would be awesome if fuzzy supported buffer search too.

Keep up the great work!

Hey, good to hear! Do you mean a way to search only buffers (open files) instead of all files (buffers + on disk)?

Hi @cloudhead, thanks for your hard work!

Yeah that's right, I believe neovim-fuzzy already shows buffers as part of the overall search, but my use case often has a large amount of buffers open (including scratch buffers) and being able to view them and search them independently is very useful to me.

It's not a deal breaker by any means, and please feel free to close if you don't see enough return on a feature like this, but it would be convenient for people like me :+1:

Edit: I guess this sort of feature request could also be interesting thinking in the context of neovim-fuzzy being able to search arbitrary lists (if that's possible with fzy.)
