Can I use vlf for a buffer instead a file? #28

Open c02y opened 9 years ago

c02y commented 9 years ago

I do other things in Emacs and it create the Backstrace buffer containing messages I need, but there are very long lines in it, and its size is over 6MB, buffer size is not the problem, the long line is the evil. I know I can turn long lines into multiple lines.

But I still want to know that can I use vlf for the current buffer (such as Backstrace buffer) which is not related to local file, because if I use vlf, it will act like C-x C-f to find new local file.

@c02y could you not write the buffer to a file, then use vlf?
