I use ':b' quite often. And I use a substring of the bufname to jump to that buffer. Works quite well.
But a problem is that the substring I provide isn't only matched with the buffer names but also the filenames. See these examples: :ls 1 #h "example\predict.py" line 25 2 a "deeplog\deeplog.py" line 0 4 %a "example\train.py" line 37 :b deep<tab> Then when I type ":b deep<tab>", the matches shown are: E:\projects\log-parsing\deeplog\example\predict.py deeplog\deeplog.py E:\projects\log-parsing\deeplog\example\train.py We can see that vim is matching the filepaths instead of only the buffer names. Can I change this behavior? Preferably with vimscripting, but I'm willing to change source code too since I use this too often. To be clear: I want only this match to be shown: deeplog\deeplog.py Here's the version info: :ver VIM - Vi IMproved 9.1 (2024 Jan 02, compiled May 21 2024 02:04:14) MS-Windows 64-bit console version Included patches: 1-426 Compiled by ACER@JUDAS Huge version without GUI.
