6 years, 8 months ago It mostly works fine. 7 years ago I made the following mapping which accounts for deleting the NERDTree buffer: nnoremap bd :%bd | NERDTree 6 years, 8 months ago I used this for a long time, but now I get E16: Invalid range because some of the buffers in the range don't actually exist. 7 years ago This doesn't close the NERDTree buffer. I recomment using the BufOnly.vim plugin as mentioned by. 7 years, 3 months ago I faced some problems using this command when NERDTree is enabled. 7 years, 7 months ago :%bd is actually "all" instead 1-1000. :) 7 years, 10 months ago It will close nerdtree buffer as well. 9 years, 11 months ago I fount this link 7 years, 11 months ago Perfect, short and simple! :) 7 years, 10 months ago Still useful, as people may well Googling for the wrong term, and will find this. I’m not exactly the Gandalf of vim, but I couldn’t help the feeling that a lot of people are missing out on the magic here.0 3 years, 1 month ago Related Topics vim Comments 9 years, 11 months ago This closes windows, not buffers. While this may be old hat to some, I’m sure it’s news to others. It’s immensely useful when you’re neck-deep in a project, and it’s a downright pleasure when stepping back into something you worked on a year earlier feels like returning to an old friend’s pad. Having my editor become a comfortable and familiar space, on a project-by-project basis, has been a huge boon. I’ve only just discovered it in the process of researching this post, but I’m certainly looking forward to giving it a shot it’s an epic pain when you forget to save a long-running session and you’re left traveling back in time the next time you resume your project. If you want to further bake the use of sessions into your vim experience, Peter Odding’s session.vim plugin adds a number of helpers for working with session files, and integrates session saving into the default vim workflow. Sessions don’t save marks, registers, or command line history (which are stored in viminfo), but this hasn’t been a hindrance so far, and should you want to persist it, you can. When the cycle repeats as you rearrange the furniture, just overwite the old session by using :mks!. Everything will be exactly as you left it: the working directory, your windows, splits, and buffers, and any options you’ve :set. Or open it when you run vim using the -S flag:īoom. The next time you’re ready to start working on that project, source that session file within vim: When you’ve been working for awhile and you’re all moved in to your new digs - maybe it’s the end of the day, maybe it’s been 71 days and you finally have to give in and restart your computer, you just save the session file to anywhere you’d like (I like ~/.vim/sessions/) using :mksession (or :mks). vim’s session features will let you make that house a home. You’ve built yourself a place to live, but you’re just renting. You get a bunch of tabs open, and then each one ends up with its own set of splits, and sure enough you know to go over here when you need to take a look at the config, and to go over there when you need to iterate on the new component you’ve been working on that week. Surrounded as I was, however, by a bunch of vocal vim partisans, its allure was irresistible, espcially once I realised it could provide me this very same convenience.Īfter a couple of hours (or even days) of working on a project in vim, it starts to have its own character. I had begun to dabble with TextMate and e, and found it incredibly convenient (read: sane) to be able to keep separate projects grouped together. Part of the reason Dreamweaver was so gluttonous was because I kept every file from every project that I was working on at a time open at once. One of the major things that pushed me over the edge was catching a glimpse - I’m not sure where, maybe in MacVim’s menu - of the word “session.” (I’ve been told that I may be the only person ever to have made this jump, but have no concrete evidence to substantiate this claim.) I had grown tired of Dreamweaver’s engorged appetite for RAM, and had grappled with vim enough in the context of my dealings with my VPS and git that I had already needed to at least kinda learn how it worked. In 2010, I leapt directly from Dreamweaver to vim as my primary editor.
