[Feature Request]: I'd like to close only the current tab. about bufferline.nvim HOT 6 CLOSED

If someone looking for a workaround of this situation. I'm currently using nvim-bufdel to solve this.

I still think such foundation action should be consider alongside other "close" commands tho.

from bufferline.nvim.

Also, I don't understand the reason for this, I had to use a new function to work around the situation, something like:
I had some issues using the plugin with nvim-tree, so I had to resort to this.

function close_current_buffer()
  vim.api.nvim_command('NvimTreeClose')
  vim.api.nvim_command('bdelete')
  vim.api.nvim_command('NvimTreeOpen')
  vim.api.nvim_command('wincmd l')
end

vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>q',     '<Cmd>lua close_current_buffer()<CR>', {})

It would be great to have that, especially since it's very common to close the current buffer.

I've mentioned in previous issues. I don't intend to add this command, as to be honest, I did not want to add any buffer management commands. You have to understand that this plugin is mainly about seeing buffers not about closing them or opening them. There are so many plugins that people have worked on to add solutions for that like bufdel. This isn't a place where I'm going to add more of this and frankly I would deprecate what exists already if I could, but people now depend on it but I certainly won't look to add to it cuz it just adds more surface area for bugs and feature requests

I use these simple tricks, no plugins needed. Alt + c for navigate to the left buffer then close the old one, Alt + Shift + C for the opposite way

  vim.keymap.set("n", "<A-c>", function()
    local buffer_id = vim.fn.bufnr()

    if buffer_id then
      vim.cmd("<cmd>BufferLineCyclePrev")
      vim.cmd("<cmd>bdelete "..buffer_id)
    end
  end)

  vim.keymap.set("n", "<A-C>", function()
    local buffer_id = vim.fn.bufnr()

    if buffer_id then
      vim.cmd("<cmd>BufferLineCycleNext")
      vim.cmd("<cmd>bdelete "..buffer_id)
    end
  end)

lazyvim distribution includes https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.bufremove which solves this. I didn't realize it wasn't part of bufferline in fact.

Great solution, but for me, the cmd function does not expect "cmd" text, so I fixed like this:

vim.keymap.set('n', '<A-c>', function()
  local buffer_id = vim.fn.bufnr()
  vim.cmd 'BufferLineCyclePrev'
  vim.cmd('bdelete ' .. buffer_id)
end, { desc = 'Close current buffer and go to previous' })

vim.keymap.set('n', '<A-C>', function()
  local buffer_id = vim.fn.bufnr()
  vim.cmd 'BufferLineCycleNext'
  vim.cmd('bdelete ' .. buffer_id)
end, { desc = 'Close current buffer and go to next' })
