Thanks for your reply, Christian. I tried :set hidden, but it
behaved the same way.
Did you make sure to explicitly load each buffer before running your
example code, but after you had turned 'hidden' on?
Using the Perl interface, I see the same behavior you do, until I do
":set hidden" /and then/ manually cycle all of my buffers into a
window. My code:
:perl foreach my $b (VIM::Buffers()) {VIM::Msg($b->Name() . ' ' . $b->Get(1))}
Your sample code also works fine for me, after I've made sure Vim has
actually loaded the buffers, even if only one is currently displayed.
If it's only possible to access loaded buffers, there is no mention
of that in the docs at
http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/if_pyth.html#python-vim
I do agree this is a somewhat obscure bit of knowledge. The if_perl
documentation doesn't mention it either.
About the only place I personally know of that gives the right hint is
":help windows-intro" where it explains what an inactive buffer is.
