I use the :oldfiles command a lot, but it's annoying that it gets populated with things like terminal or help buffers. My understanding is that any buffer for which a mark exist will be listed by the command, so if I close Neovim while the focus is on a help or terminal buffer, I will see those next time on the lists.

I know I can use the r option of the ShaDa file to filter out some paths by a prefix, but I wonder if there's a wider solution, after all I just care about files whose buftype is empty

In the end I wrote a function that wipes out all buffers whose type is help, which is executed by the VimLeavePre event, i.e. right before the ShaDa file is written

  • Hi Tae, it seems that you have made some change in your repository and the function is not where it was before. Could you update the link?

  • Continuation of what Vivian said: always provide permalink instead of link relative to a movie HEAD. That will ensure the link never gets out of sync (as long as GH is online).
