Buffer Plugin

Help query: "What does the buffer plugin do?" / "How do I use buffer in Volt?"

The buffer plugin is a thin command surface for everyday file-buffer operations: save, close, open the close picker, and toggle line wrapping. Commands mostly emit host hooks rather than implementing IO themselves.

Package namebuffer
Moduleuser/buffer.rs

What it does

  • Saves the active file-backed buffer to disk
  • Closes the active buffer
  • Opens the buffer close picker
  • Toggles automatic line wrapping on the active buffer

Commands

CommandDescription
buffer.saveSaves the active file-backed buffer to disk.
buffer.closeCloses the active buffer.
buffer.close-pickerOpens the buffer close picker.
buffer.toggle_line_wrapToggles automatic line wrapping for the active buffer.

Keybindings

No package-level keybindings declared (may be bound from vim leader maps or YAML).

Notes

Typical leader bindings (from the vim package) also map workspace save / buffer close onto related flows. Prefer the command palette if you are unsure of the chord.
