Please use [this link](https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.nvim/blob/main/README.md) if you want to mention this module.\n\n⦿ All contributions (issues, pull requests, discussions, etc.) are done inside of 'mini.nvim'.\n\n⦿ See the repository page to learn about common design principles and configuration recipes.\n\n---\n\nIf you want to help this project grow but don't know where to start, check out [contributing guides of 'mini.nvim'](https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.nvim/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) or leave a Github star for 'mini.nvim' project and/or any its standalone Git repositories.\n\n## Demo\n\nhttps://user-images.githubusercontent.com/24854248/173045373-f5bdea82-fe3e-4488-8c9a-ebba062a373c.mp4\n\n## Features\n\n- Buffers are listed in the order of their identifier.\n- Different highlight groups for \"states\" of buffer affecting 'buffer tabs'.\n- Buffer names are made unique by extending paths to files or appending unique identifier to buffers without name.\n- Current buffer is displayed \"optimally centered\" (in center of screen while maximizing the total number of buffers shown) when there are many buffers open.\n- 'Buffer tabs' are clickable if Neovim allows it.\n- Extra information section in case of multiple Neovim tabpages.\n- Truncation symbols which show if there are tabs to the left and/or right. Exact characters are taken from 'listchars' option (`precedes` and `extends` fields) and are shown only if 'list' option is enabled.\n\n## Dependencies\n\nFor full experience needs (still works without any of suggestions):\n\n- Enabled ['mini.icons'](https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.nvim/blob/main/readmes/mini-icons.md) module to show icons near file names. Can fall back to using [nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons](https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons) plugin.\n\n## Installation\n\nThis plugin can be installed as part of 'mini.nvim' library (**recommended**) or as a standalone Git repository.\n\nThere are two branches to install from:\n\n- `main` (default, **recommended**) will have latest development version of plugin. All changes since last stable release should be perceived as being in beta testing phase (meaning they already passed alpha-testing and are moderately settled).\n- `stable` will be updated only upon releases with code tested during public beta-testing phase in `main` branch.\n\nHere are code snippets for some common installation methods (use only one):\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWith \u003ca href=\"https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.nvim/blob/main/readmes/mini-deps.md\"\u003emini.deps\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n    \u003cthead\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003cth\u003eGithub repo\u003c/th\u003e\n            \u003cth\u003eBranch\u003c/th\u003e \u003cth\u003eCode snippet\u003c/th\u003e\n        \u003c/tr\u003e\n    \u003c/thead\u003e\n    \u003ctbody\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd rowspan=2\u003e'mini.nvim' library\u003c/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eMain\u003c/td\u003e \u003ctd rowspan=2\u003e\u003ci\u003eFollow recommended 'mini.deps' installation\u003c/i\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n        \u003c/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eStable\u003c/td\u003e\n        \u003c/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd rowspan=2\u003eStandalone plugin\u003c/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eMain\u003c/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e\u003ccode\u003eadd('echasnovski/mini.tabline')\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n        \u003c/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eStable\u003c/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e\u003ccode\u003eadd({ source = 'echasnovski/mini.tabline', checkout = 'stable' })\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n        \u003c/tr\u003e\n    \u003c/tbody\u003e\n\u003c/table\u003e\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWith \u003ca href=\"https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim\"\u003efolke/lazy.nvim\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n    \u003cthead\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003cth\u003eGithub repo\u003c/th\u003e\n            \u003cth\u003eBranch\u003c/th\u003e \u003cth\u003eCode snippet\u003c/th\u003e\n        \u003c/tr\u003e\n    \u003c/thead\u003e\n    \u003ctbody\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd rowspan=2\u003e'mini.nvim' library\u003c/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eMain\u003c/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e\u003ccode\u003e{ 'echasnovski/mini.nvim', version = false },\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n        \u003c/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eStable\u003c/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e\u003ccode\u003e{ 'echasnovski/mini.nvim', version = '*' },\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n        \u003c/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd rowspan=2\u003eStandalone plugin\u003c/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eMain\u003c/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e\u003ccode\u003e{ 'echasnovski/mini.tabline', version = false },\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n        \u003c/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eStable\u003c/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e\u003ccode\u003e{ 'echasnovski/mini.tabline', version = '*' },\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n        \u003c/tr\u003e\n    \u003c/tbody\u003e\n\u003c/table\u003e\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWith \u003ca href=\"https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug\"\u003ejunegunn/vim-plug\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n    \u003cthead\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003cth\u003eGithub repo\u003c/th\u003e\n            \u003cth\u003eBranch\u003c/th\u003e \u003cth\u003eCode snippet\u003c/th\u003e\n        \u003c/tr\u003e\n    \u003c/thead\u003e\n    \u003ctbody\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd rowspan=2\u003e'mini.nvim' library\u003c/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eMain\u003c/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e\u003ccode\u003ePlug 'echasnovski/mini.nvim'\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n        \u003c/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eStable\u003c/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e\u003ccode\u003ePlug 'echasnovski/mini.nvim', { 'branch': 'stable' }\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n        \u003c/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd rowspan=2\u003eStandalone plugin\u003c/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eMain\u003c/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e\u003ccode\u003ePlug 'echasnovski/mini.tabline'\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n        \u003c/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eStable\u003c/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e\u003ccode\u003ePlug 'echasnovski/mini.tabline', { 'branch': 'stable' }\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n        \u003c/tr\u003e\n    \u003c/tbody\u003e\n\u003c/table\u003e\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n**Important**: don't forget to call `require('mini.tabline').setup()` to enable its functionality.\n\n**Note**: if you are on Windows, there might be problems with too long file paths (like `error: unable to create file \u003csome file name\u003e: Filename too long`).
