It is -currently maintained by [Techlive Zheng][], the development has been moved to -[@techlivezheng's repo][], only new version will be released to [@fholgado's -repo][]. - -[Vim]: http://vim.org -[MiniBufExpl]: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=159 -[Techlive Zheng]: http://techlivezheng.me -[Federico Holgado]: http://www.fholgado.com -[@fholgado's repo]:https://github.com/fholgado/minibufexpl.vim -[@techlivezheng's repo]: https://github.com/techlivezheng/vim-plugin-minibufexpl - -## The Story - ->The reason why I took it upon myself to improve MiniBufExplorer is a matter of -need. I am a User Interface designer who spends a lot of time writing front- -end code. I recently found Vim and fell in love with it. During my search for -the plugins that would help me the most, I came across MBE. I loved it -initially, but quickly saw that it had some major flaws. - ->After using MBE for some time, I have been able to identify some areas that -needed some dire attention from a usability standpoint. I am doing my best to -fix those issues without adding "feature bloat" or other unnecessary things to -MBE. I am always open to suggestions and discussion as to what we can do to -improve this great plugin. - ->I would also like to thank [Bindu Wavell][], who is the plugin's original -creator and [Oliver Uvman][], who like myself has been hacking at MBE to make -needed improvements. My goal is to consolidate the code and act as the -maintainer so that any further changes from contributors can be found in a -single location. - -[Bindu Wavell]: http://www.wavell.net -[Oliver Uvman]: https://github.com/OliverUv - --- Federico Holgado - ->This is a very useful plugin, being able to see the buffer status in a -tab-like fashion while you are working with mutiple buffers is very pleasant. -Since @fholgado began to improve this plugin, lots of new features has been -added, it's great. Meanwhile, there are still some annoying bugs that haven't -been fixed for a long time, so I decide to step out and do something. - --- Techlive Zheng - -## Improvements in Version 6.5.0 - -### Bugfixes - -Squashed almost every known bugs due to the relase of version 6.5.0, for more -details, please check out the 6.5.0 milestones. - -* https://github.com/fholgado/minibufexpl.vim/issues?milestone=1&page=1&state=closed -* https://github.com/techlivezheng/vim-plugin-minibufexpl/issues?milestone=1&page=1&state=closed - -### Buffer With No Name - -Buffer without a name would be shown as `[1:--NO NAME--<timestamp>]` now. - -### User Interface Change - -Options, commands and key bindings have some changes, please see changelog for -more details. - -### Cycle Buffer in MRU Fashion - -As a long expected feature, command ':MBEbf' or ':MBEbb' could be used to cycle -the buffer forwards or backwards in the most recently used order. - -### Handle Buffers with Duplicate Name - -Mechanism for checking buffers with duplicate name has been totally refactored, -it is now more efficient. - -Mechanism for generating unique name for these buffers has been refactored too, -each buffer should be uniquely identified now. - - ./test --> test - ./alpha/foo/test --> alpha/foo/test - ./alpha/bar/test --> alpha/bar/test - ./beta/new/test --> beta/-/test - ./omega/old/test --> omega/old/test - ./omega/test --> omega/test - -### MBE Window is Local to Tab Page - -Open or close MBE window in one tab page would not interfere another. Commands -':MBEOpenAll', ':MBECloseAll' and ':MBEToggleAll' have been introduced to mani- -pulate MBEs in all tab pags. - -### Preserve Window Entering History - -Previous versions of MBE will interfere the window entering history on updating, -this behavior has caused many incompatibilities with other plugins. It should -be fixed now, 'wincmd p' would work as usual. - -### Quit MBE if No More Normal Window Open - -MBE now will be closed if all the other open windows are plugin windows. - -### Delete/Wipeout/Unload Buffers Preserving the Window - -Commnad ':MBEbd', ':MBEbw' or ':MBEbun' could be used to delete/wipeout/unload -buffers just as ':bd', ':bw' or ':bun', but the window that previously holding -them will be preserved. - -## Improvements in Previous Versions - -### Current Buffer Highlighting - -Previously, MBE would only tell you if a buffer was currently visible in the -editor like such: - -![][current_buffer_old] - -[current_buffer_old]: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/118650/mbe/screenshots/current_buffer/old.png - -Now, MBE shows you the buffer that is currently visible _and_ active in the -editor. Here is an animated GIF that shows the current buffer highlighting in -action: - -![][current_buffer_new] - -[current_buffer_new]: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/118650/mbe/screenshots/mbe1.gif - -### Duplicate Buffer Names - -If you are an MBE user, I am sure you are familiar with the following -scenario: - -![][dup_buf_names_old] - -[dup_buf_names_old]: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/118650/mbe/screenshots/dupe_buf_names/old_fade.png - -The problem is that buffers with the same filename do not get differentiated, -and it makes it very hard to find the buffer you are trying to edit. The -simple solution is to show a parent directory that is different between all -buffers like such: - -![][dup_buf_names_new] - -[dup_buf_names_new]: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/118650/mbe/screenshots/dupe_buf_names/new_fade.png - -Let me explain how it works. Let's observe 2 files that have the same -filename. - - /Users/fholgado/Sites/website1/css/style.css - /Users/fholgado/Sites/website2/css/style.css - -You'll notice both files have the same filename _and_ are in a folder called -'css'. This happens all the time in web development projects. - -In order to differentiate the two files, MBE now crawls up the directory tree -and finds the first parent directory that differs from both files, which in -this case is 'website1' and 'website2'. MBE will now show you these 2 files as -such: - - [1:website1/style.css][2:website2/style.css] - -### Buffer States - -It is always important to be able to see at a glance what buffers are modified -and need to be saved. MBE now shows you respective colors whether the buffer -is modified or not modified. - -![][buffer_status] - -[buffer_status]: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/118650/mbe/screenshots/save_states/new.png - -**Most importantly**, MBE now updates the buffer states immediately after -making changes, instead of the previous behavior that only updated buffer -states when switching buffers. - -### Status Line Clutter - -Previously, the MBE buffer would use the same statusline that is currently -configured for Vim. This adds a lot of visual clutter to MBE and does not add -any functionality, since the status line is showing information for a buffer -that does not contain any real content. - -![][stauts_line_clutter_old] - -[status_line_clutter_old]: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/118650/mbe/screenshots/status_line/old.png - -MBE now uses it's own custom Status Line format to reduce the unwanted -information. This line is customizable and can even be empty. - -![][status_line_clutter_new] - -[status_line_clutter_new]: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/118650/mbe/screenshots/status_line/new.png - -### Window Auto Resizing - -Previously, the MBE buffer made the automatic window resizing using the ctrl + -w + = command in Vim. Many of you have seen the following picture: - -![][window_auto_resizing_old] - -[window_auto_resizing_old]: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/118650/mbe/screenshots/window_resizing/old.png - -MBE now maintains it's buffer size both in horizontal and vertical mode when -using window resizing commands. Now you can take a Vim tab that looks like -this: - -![][window_auto_resizing_new1] - -[window_auto_resizing_new1]: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/118650/mbe/screenshots/window_resizing/new1.png - -And turn it into something like this without worrying about the MBE window -becoming large as well: - -![][window_auto_resizing_new2] - -[window_auto_resizing_new2]: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/118650/mbe/screenshots/window_resizing/new2.png - -### Customizing Colors - -Here are all the color additions to customize MBE's new features. You can add -the following to your Color file and customize the color accordingly: - - " MiniBufExpl Colors - hi MBENormal guifg=#808080 guibg=fg - hi MBEChanged guifg=#CD5907 guibg=fg - hi MBEVisibleNormal guifg=#5DC2D6 guibg=fg - hi MBEVisibleChanged guifg=#F1266F guibg=fg - hi MBEVisibleActiveNormal guifg=#A6DB29 guibg=fg - hi MBEVisibleActiveChanged guifg=#F1266F guibg=fg |
