Description

Maybe it could be achieved by using autocmd, like the code below.

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("User", {
    pattern = "MiniFilesActionDelete",
    callback = function(args)
        local fname = args.data.from
        local bufnr = vim.fn.bufnr(fname)
        if bufnr > 0 then
            -- delete the buffer
        end
    end,
})

Thanks for the suggestion!

I did consider adding this as it is more or less aligned with the functionality of renaming file of an opened buffer. But eventually opted out for these reasons:

• Not deleting buffer is an extra protection from accidental removal of a file, which I personally was grateful for couple of times.
• Adding it is a matter of creating custom autocommand like the outline you provided.

Closing as not planned.
