hbac.nvim
A Neovim plugin that automatically closes unedited buffers when the buffer list grows too long.
What is hbac.nvim?
hbac.nvim is a Neovim plugin that automatically manages the buffer list by closing unedited buffers when a configurable threshold is exceeded. It helps maintain a clean workspace by keeping only actively worked-on buffers, reducing clutter and improving focus during coding sessions.
Neovim users who prefer using the buffer list for navigation but find it becomes cluttered with files opened for browsing (like checking definitions or debugging) rather than active editing.
Developers choose hbac.nvim for its heuristic, automated approach to buffer management that requires minimal configuration, combined with manual control features like buffer pinning and Telescope integration for fine-tuning.
