The lack of tabs in #helixEditor caused me to open two instances on the same project. Unfortunately, it's written in #rustlang so the multiple rust-analyzer instances almost memory bombed my machine...
As the whole session started freezing, I wrongly blamed Firefox and started unloading tabs, but the fox was (mostly) innocent this time.
@bug Have you tried the buffer line in #helixEditor ?
:set bufferline multiple
It shows open buffers basically like tabs. You can see them in action in this video at 2:41 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P8GP1LEfKE
@jeremie no, bufferline doesn't solve that problem.
Tab views (typically like vim) have a different set of buffers inside. You'd have different scopes for each tab. Each tab typically has several splits organized to work with that current context.
I enabled bufferline a while back, but I don't see its use. I'm likely going to drop it as it just clutters the view for no good reason.
