Question 1

How do I change the keybindings in JABS.nvim?

Accepted Answer

You can customize keymaps in the setup function under the 'keymap' table—for example, set 'jump' to '' instead of the default ''. This allows tailoring navigation to your workflow without modifying source code.

Question 2

JABS.nvim vs telescope.nvim for buffer switching?

Accepted Answer

JABS.nvim is specialized for buffer switching with a focused, interactive window, while telescope.nvim is a broader fuzzy finder that can handle buffers but with more overhead. Choose JABS for simplicity and visual clarity, or telescope for all-in-one searching.

Question 3

Can I use JABS.nvim without nvim-web-devicons?

Accepted Answer

Yes, by setting 'use_devicons' to false in the config, though you'll lose filetype icons. The plugin will fall back to default symbols, but it's recommended to install nvim-web-devicons for the full visual experience.

Question 4

Does JABS.nvim work with terminal buffers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it includes a terminal symbol (default '>_') and handles terminal buffers in the list, allowing switching and previewing like regular file buffers, as mentioned in the symbols configuration.

Question 5

How to sort buffers by most recently used in JABS.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Enable MRU sorting by setting 'sort_mru' to true in the setup function. This reorders buffers based on usage recency, making frequently accessed files quicker to find, though it's optional and off by default.

Question 6

Is JABS.nvim compatible with Vim or only Neovim?

Accepted Answer

JABS.nvim is specifically for Neovim v0.5 or higher, as it uses Lua and Neovim APIs. It won't work with standard Vim, so users on older or non-Neovim setups should look for alternatives.
