Close fern buffer after opening file #378

Closed himat closed 2 years ago

himat commented 2 years ago

After I select a file within the fern viewer, it seems like the fern buffer is still available in vim

Which means that when I then do :b# to go back to my previous file, it is opening the fern buffer instead.

Is there a way to auto close the buffer after I select/open a file? I saw https://github.com/lambdalisue/fern.vim/wiki/Tips#close-fern-after-open but not really sure what "Close fern" means for that tip. Does it close the buffer or does it close all of fern somehow?

It sounds fern behave properly in your case from your explanation.

I think using :b# is not a proper way to get back a previous file. Maybe what you need is https://github.com/Bakudankun/BackAndForward.vim or similar plugin.
