Feature request: deleting file is not deleting buffer #77

Open Migacz85 opened 5 years ago

Migacz85 commented 5 years ago

I found out that when I had opened buffers, I moved files from one directory to another. Vim was unaware of this and buffers of deleted files were still there. And this produced confusion. Is there a way that after deleting or moving files buffers will be deleted aswell ? It would be perfec also if fugitive will also know that files were deleted or moved.

Is that possible to implement this ? Ranger is just brilliant to manipulating files. It would be perfect to implement this well with vim

Yes I understand the problem, it's a duplicate of #72. However I don't see how to make vim aware of outside changes...

Ok, Is this even possible to run some vim function when the ranger is turned on ?

In neovim yes but it's not user friendly. You can still switch to the vim's command mode with esc and then run any vim command while ranger stays opened in a terminal buffer. Then you can come back to ranger by re-switching to the insert mode by pressing i. But switching between neovim's modes while ranger is opened is not a nice flow. With the regular vim, you can't go back to vim without closing ranger.
