Hello.
How do I get rid of empty buffers in vim alltogether? I never have a
use for them and find myself always deleting them because they are in
my buffer list.
Greetings,
Tom
[NoName] buffers which aren't displayed in a window are usually
unlisted: :ls won't list them but :ls! will.
There may be a difference if you've set the 'hidden' option, which I
haven't.
You can make any buffer unlisted by means of :bdelete, or remove all
traces of it, and of anything remembered about it, by :bwipeout (use
sparingly). In both cases any window containing the buffer will be
closed, and in neither case will the buffer number be reused in the
current Vim session (after :bdel but not after :bw the buffer number is
actually still in use).
See
:help 'hidden'
:help :ls
:help :bdelete
:help :bwipeout
:help unlisted-buffer
:help new-unlisted-buffers
Best regards,
Tony.
