Buffer
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Defination: It is the in-memory defination of a file.
|
|
It represent the content of the file by
|
|
storing it inside memory.
|
|
|
|
Opening multipe files in Vim.
|
|
|
|
* From terminal
|
|
vim <file-1> <file-2> ....
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Shell expansion shortcuts:
|
|
vim file*
|
|
|
|
This will open all the file which follow pattern
|
|
in their file name that is mentioned as an argument
|
|
here.
|
|
|
|
* To see all the open buffers:
|
|
|
|
Use commands: :buffers
|
|
|
|
* To know more on buffers:
|
|
|
|
Use commands: :h :buffers
|
|
|
|
* To change the buffer to another opened file
|
|
|
|
:buffer <buffer number>
|
|
:buffer <filename>
|
|
|
|
Note : Instead of :buffer, we can use :b.
|
|
|
|
* To open to the next buffer of the current opened buffer.
|
|
|
|
We can use: :bnext or :bn
|
|
|
|
To do this in opposite direction we can use:
|
|
|
|
:bprevious or :bp
|
|
|
|
* To go to the first buffer.
|
|
|
|
:bfirst or :bf
|
|
|
|
* To go the last buffer.
|
|
|
|
:blast or :bl
|
|
|
|
* Shortcut key-binding to move to the previously editing buffer.
|
|
|
|
CTRL + ^
|
|
|
|
* The %a and # symbol meaning.
|
|
|
|
%a : Represent the active buffer and currently loaded.
|
|
# : Represent the previously editing buffer.
|
|
|
|
* Another way to move back to the alternate buffer.
|
|
|
|
:b#
|
|
|
|
%% TIPS %%
|
|
|
|
When we try to do the editing on the current buffer and check the
|
|
buffer list.
|
|
It will present a '+' indicating that the editing done is not saved.
|
|
And when we try to change the buffer, it wil throw error.
|
|
|
|
We can still force to change the buffer by using '!'.
|
|
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
There are three states of buffer.
|
|
|
|
-> Active state and showing the buffer.
|
|
|
|
-> Inactive state and not shown in the buffer.
|
|
|
|
-> Inactive state but in the memory. (#h +)
|
|
|
|
|
|
* To allow the buffer to be hidden without writing it into the file.
|
|
We can use option:
|
|
:set hidden
|
|
|
|
This allow to edit multiple buffer without necessarily writing it.
|
|
|
|
* To abandone all the changes of all the buffer.
|
|
|
|
:qall!
|
|
|
|
* To save all the changes of all the buffer.
|
|
|
|
:wall
|
|
|
|
* To open another file without switching to that new window of the same file.
|
|
|
|
:badd <filename>
|
|
|
|
* To unload a currently active buffer.
|
|
|
|
:bdelete or :bd <name or number> -> This is optional if the buffer is not the current active file.
|
|
|
|
* To delete range of buffer.
|
|
|
|
:<start-number>,<end-number>bd
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
To delete all the buffer.
|
|
:%bd
|
|
|
|
* To execute a line command on each and every buffer.
|
|
|
|
:bufdo set <option>
|
|
:bufdo ....
|
|
|
|
* To execute multiple line command in line-command mode.
|
|
|
|
We can use '|' symbol.
