MiniBufExpl is a Vim plugin that displays open buffers in a compact, tab-like strip that takes minimal screen space. It is a maintained fork of the original MiniBufExplorer with usability improvements and bug fixes.
Use cases
- show open vim buffers as tabs
- navigate between buffers in vim
- cycle buffers in most-recently-used order
- compact buffer explorer for vim
- see buffer status while editing multiple files
When to choose
- you use Vim and want a lightweight buffer/tab bar
- you want MRU buffer cycling and duplicate-name handling
When to avoid
- you use Neovim and prefer modern tabline plugins or built-in UI
- you need an actively developed plugin with a license file
