vscode-open-buffers README

It's nice that VS Code has a list of open files in the file explorer, but I'd like to fuzzy search that like I can Cmd/Ctrl-P. This lets you do that.

If you're used to using vim buffers, particular with fzf, this may be for you.

Note that with this, you may want to turn off the open files list with

"explorer.openEditors.visible": 0,

You might also want to turn off the "preview" functionality that makes single-clicking a file, then single-clicking another file, close the first file.

"workbench.editor.enablePreview": false,
"workbench.editor.enablePreviewFromQuickOpen": false,

Features

To open a file list, press Ctrl-Shift-P (Cmd-Shift-P on Mac) to open the command pane, then type Open Buffer and press Enter. This will give you a list of currently open buffers. Select one to jump to it.

Closing a file with the X button will remove it from this list.

Known Issues

• When VS Code opens with some files already open, Open Buffer won't list those files until you view them.
