- Ixiaus 15y agoBuffers are truly amazing - combined with powerful buffer naming patterns, it's a breeze switching between buffers blindly (included with autocomplete) and if you forget about which buffers are open it's a keystroke away to see an overview of the buffers open... 20-25 buffers open at once? Easy!
- swah 15y ago^ Ido mode user!
- baddox 15y agoIdo with fuzzy searching is an absolute must. Type "mobusmai" to get to "mobile_user_mailer.rb" in an instant.
- davidw 15y ago> 20-25 I get that many in a day of hacking. With emacs open for a couple of weeks, I can hit a hundred pretty easily.
- marcmarc 15y agoWhen you have 100 or more buffers open, you may have two files with the same name. Using uniquify (require 'uniquify) helps differentiate them. Instead of getting file<1> and file<2> you get file:"directory_1" and file:"directory_2".
- Ixiaus 15y agoThat's exactly what I use, Uniquify and Ido.
- burgerbrain 15y agoHmm.. I am a Vi user with the same attitude.

- snprbob86 15y agoNope, I'm a Vim guy.
- swah 15y agoCool. How do you get to that state (of having lots of buffers open) without accidentally closing Vim? My Vim sessions don't last long because I always :q with a single window and its gone.
- snprbob86 15y agoI use :Ack pretty aggressively, so it is quite rare that I don't have a little search window open. If I close my last buffer, then the quickfix window takes up the whole screen and I quickly use :FuzzyFinderTextMate to open the next file. So the only time I accidentally :q the last buffer is when I close all files, override my search results, don't run a new search, then close the only file. Needless to say, that is pretty rare.
