[Feat. request] Show list of open buffers in UI #141

Open GitSquared opened 5 years ago

GitSquared commented 5 years ago

It would be nice to have some kind of tab bar or side list to see what buffers are currently open, and maybe number-based keyboard shortcuts to switch to them instead of hitting tab multiple times.

It seems to me that having the ability to open multiple buffers without being able to see and efficiently switch between them is like a half-implemented tabs feature - and that kind of contradicts with the decision to delegate split panes support to the user's terminal emulator. What is your take on this?

(Possibly related: #89 #133)

Hi @GitSquared!

It's definitely on the list of things to tackle, and I've got various ideas around how I'd like to implement it. I'm going to tag this issue so I can revisit it once 0.6 lands.

I added PR's to scribe and amp with a version of this I have been using in my own fork since August in the hope that it helps out this issue.

(This is the only feature I'm waiting before trying amp again. But I would prefer the fuzzy search I describe in #133 which is like jumping in a file but for tabs)
