Show Only Pinned Buffers

[Pandoks]

Hey, I read the documentation, and either don't know how to do it, or it doesn't exist. This is my config right now:

return 
  {'romgrk/barbar.nvim',
    dependencies = {
      'lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim', -- OPTIONAL: for git status
      'nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons', -- OPTIONAL: for file icons
    },
    init = function() vim.g.barbar_auto_setup = false end,
    lazy = false,
    opts = 
{
  animation = false,
  auto_hide = true,

  -- Hide inactive buffers and file extensions. Other options are `alternate`, `current`, and `visible`.
hide = {
        current = true,       -- Hide the current buffer
        visible = true,       -- Hide visible (active) buffers
        inactive = true,      -- Hide inactive (hidden) buffers
        alternate = true,     -- Hide alternate buffers
    },

  -- Disable highlighting file icons in inactive buffers

  icons = {
    button = false,
    diagnostics = {
      [vim.diagnostic.severity.ERROR] = {enabled = true},
      [vim.diagnostic.severity.WARN] = {enabled = false},
      [vim.diagnostic.severity.INFO] = {enabled = false},
      [vim.diagnostic.severity.HINT] = {enabled = false},
    },
    separator = {left = '', right = ''},
    separator_at_end = false,

    -- Configure the icons on the bufferline based on the visibility of a buffer.
    -- Supports all the base icon options, plus `modified` and `pinned`.
    pinned = {button = '', filename = true, extension = true},
  },
  insert_at_start = true,

  sidebar_filetypes = {
    NvimTree = true,
    undotree = true,
  },
    },
    keys = {
      { "<leader>b", "<cmd>BufferPick<cr>", mode = "n", desc = "Pick a buffer mode"},
      { "<leader>a", "<cmd>BufferPin<cr>", mode = "n", desc = "Pin a buffer"},
    },
  }

(Mind the indenting, my formatter isn't set up yet) As you can see, I hide everything, but is there an option where it shows pinned tabs like an option in hide for pinned = false?

I want it to hide everything and only show the tabs I have pinned manually. This would make it basically have the functionality of harpoon, but with a constant UI so I don't need to memorize what I have pinned.

Is there a way to achieve this, or is it impossible currently?

Currently no option for this, but it shouldn't be too hard to add. I'll see what can be done!

Try #527

[Pandoks]

When there is only one pinned tab, it doesn't show. Recreation: Open many files (load multiple buffers) Pin only one buffer Tab doesn't show.

Otherwise, everything works as expected. Tested with split windows and tabs (spaces).

[Iron-E]

You have auto_hide = true set, that will hide the tabline if there is only one buffer. Try setting that to false and see if that helps!

[Pandoks]

Works! Love this plugin!

Reopening this because I think the reason I wanted auto_hide on was because I wouldn't have this gap when there was nothing in the bar:

Ideally, it would have no gap: and then when I pinned something, it would show the bar.

I opened a new issue for that just now. I'll keep progress updates over there :)
