## What it is
Vim-CtrlSpace is a Vim/Neovim plugin that manages tabs, buffers, files, workspaces (sessions), and bookmarks through a Ctrl+Space-activated list window with fuzzy search powered by a Go engine. It treats each tab page as holding a separate buffer list, enabling grouping, naming, and persisting of tab layouts as workspaces.

## Use cases
- fuzzy search buffers and files in vim
- manage vim tab pages with separate buffer lists
- save and restore vim workspaces and sessions
- bookmark favorite projects in vim
- customize the vim tabline
- switch between projects quickly in neovim

## When to choose
- you work with many buffers and tabs in Vim/Neovim and want structured workspace management
- you want fuzzy search over buffers, files, tabs, and bookmarks in one UI
- you need per-tab buffer lists and persistent workspace layouts

## When to avoid
- you use a modern Lua-based plugin ecosystem and prefer alternatives like telescope.nvim
- you only need simple buffer switching without workspace/session features
- you need a plugin with an explicit open-source license for compliance reasons

- domain: text-editors, developer-tools
