tabstrip.nvim

• Project base-name at the left-corner
• Highlights are adapted from current colorscheme
• File-type and modified icons
• Session name at the right-corner

Install

Requirements:

• Neovim ≥0.8
• nvim-web-devicons
• plenary.nvim

Use your favorite package-manager:

<details> <summary>With <a href="https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim">lazy.nvim</a></summary>

{
  'rafi/tabstrip.nvim',
  dependencies = {
    'nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons',
    'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim'
  },
  version = false,
  config = true,
},

</details> <details> <summary>With <a href="https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim">packer.nvim</a></summary>

use {
  'rafi/tabstrip.nvim',
  requires = {
    'nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons',
    'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim'
  }
}

Setup

If you're using lazy.nvim, set config or opts property (See Install instructions).

Otherwise, setup manually:

require('tabstrip').setup()

Config

These are the default settings:

require('tabstrip').setup({
  -- Limit display of directories in path
  max_dirs = 1,
  -- Limit display of characters in each directory in path
  directory_max_chars = 5,

  icons = {
    modified = '+',
    session = '',
  },

  colors = {
    modified = '#cf6a4c',
  },

  numeric_charset = {'⁰','¹','²','³','⁴','⁵','⁶','⁷','⁸','⁹'},
})

If you are using lazy.nvim, you can use the opts property, e.g.:

{
  'rafi/tabstrip.nvim',
  dependencies = { 'nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons' },
  version = false,
  opts = {
    directory_max_chars = 8
  },
},
