Question

Hi everyone ! thanks a lot for this collection of plugins !

I want to know if it is possible to close starter buffer when opening splits. Those are the steps :

1. opening nvim
2. use the Find File command ( or launching your picker with your shortcuts (I use ff to open fzf-lua for example)
3. Select a file or multiple files
4. open them in a split or vsplit ( I use with fzf-lua for example)

I expect to have only the files I selected opened in my nvim session. Is there any configuration or way of doing this ?

Thanks again for your help !

Hi! Thanks for kind words!

Being able to open 'mini.starter' buffer in a split is its intended feature. So adjusting 'mini.starter' to automatically close the window if the new split is created will not be possible.

I can suggest several adjustments in the config/workflow to mitigate this:

• Don't open in split if picker is opened from Starter buffer. Open in initial window instead which will automatically delete (or wipe out, to be precise) the Starter buffer.
• Adjust mapping which brings up the picker to first delete/wipeout current buffer if it comes from 'mini.starter'. It can be something along the lines of if vim.bo.filetype == 'ministarter' then vim.api.nvim_buf_delete(0, { force = true }) end.
