# close-buffers.vim
This plug-in allows you to quickly `bdelete` several buffers at once. It is useful if you want to
prune your buffer list or free up memory.It provides a command called `Bdelete` that takes a single parameter specifying which buffers to
`bdelete`. See the list of possible parameters below.## Demo Video

## Commands
Command | Description | Native version
-------- | ----------- | ------------------
`:Bdelete other` 🔥 | `bdelete` all buffers *except* the buffer in the current window |
`:Bdelete hidden` 🔥 | `bdelete` buffers not visible in a window |
`:Bdelete all` | `bdelete` all buffers | `:bufdo bdelete`
`:Bdelete this` | `bdelete` buffer in the current window | `:bdelete`
`:Bdelete nameless` | `bdelete` buffers without a name: *[No Name]* |
`:Bdelete select` | Lets you interactively select which buffers to `bdelete` |
`:Bdelete menu` | Lets you interactively choose one of the other commands above |## Recommended key mapping
I recommend one of the following key mappings:
```
nnoremap :Bdelete menu
```
```
nnoremap Q :Bdelete menu
```## Install
You can use any plugin manager you want. Some popular options:- [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug): `Plug 'Asheq/close-buffers.vim'`
- [Vundle](https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim): `Plugin 'Asheq/close-buffers.vim'`
- [pathogen](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen): `cd ~/.vim/bundle && git clone git://github.com/asheq/close-buffers.vim.git`
- Manual: Copy the files into your `.vim` directory.## Other Info
### Buffers with unsaved changes
By default, `Bdelete` will fail to `bdelete` modified buffers, i.e., buffers that have unsaved
changes.In order to force `Bdelete` to `bdelete` modified buffers, add a bang to the end of the command,
i.e., `Bdelete!`.Alternatively, you can configure Vim to ask you to confirm each modified buffer that would be
`bdeleted`. This can be done by setting the native Vim `confirm` option with `:set confirm`.### Bwipeout
If you know what you are doing, you can use `Bwipeout` instead of `Bdelete` to `bwipeout` buffers
instead of `bdelete` them. The `Bwipeout` command has the same [parameters](#commands) as `Bdelete`.### Inspiration
This plugin was inspired by [vim-bufonly](https://github.com/schickling/vim-bufonly), but adds
several related features.### License
Same license as Vim itself.
