Subject: Re: [feature request] tab with independent buffer list

Hello, list,
As the title, if a tab can have a buffer list independent with other
tabs, then I can use tab to category the buffers, and one tab for one
project.
This is against Vim's model, and therefore unlikely to be implemented.
However,
you could write overloaded commands / command-completions (which
commands do you
have in mind? :ls, :buf, :sbuf?) in Vimscript that achieve just that.
(And with
the cmdalias plugin could even replace the built-in commands).
For example, I have written a custom command that :bdeletes all buffers
which
are only visible in the current tab page, so that I can wipe an entire
tab page
from my Vim instance.
Alternatively, there are several buffer-management plugins on vim.org,
maybe
it'll help to investigate those and adapt your style of use?!

I don't like this notion that a buffer group is against 'vims model' .
After a brief perusing of the vim code I noticed that at +1619
structs.h the following:
/* Two special kinds of buffers:
1620 * help buffer - used for help files, won't use a swap file.
1621 * spell buffer - used for spell info, never displayed and
doesn't have a
1622 * file name.
1623 */
1624 int b_help; /* TRUE for help file buffer (when
set b_p_bt
1625 is "help") */
1626 #ifdef FEAT_SPELL
1627 int b_spell; /* TRUE for a spell file buffer,
most fields
1628 are not used! Use the B_SPELL
macro to
1629 access b_spell without #ifdef.
*/
In short, vim already has special groups of buffers. Normal buffers,
help buffers, and spelling buffers. Adding a more versatile buffer
'tag' feature accessible to vimscript might be worthwhile. I would
have to look at the code some more, but it might not be such a
challenge if already existing functionality is used.
