require('reach').buffers(options)

or command with default options applied:

ReachOpen buffers

When window is open:

• type in the buffer handle to switch to that buffer, <CR> required if options.handle == 'bufnr' and there are further matches
• press <Space> to start deleting buffers, if options.handle == 'bufnr' a prompt accepting space separated list of bufnrs is displayed
• press | to split buffer vertically
• press - to split buffer horizontally
• press ] to open buffer in a new tab

If options.handle == 'auto':

• press = to start assigning priorities to buffers. Buffers with higher priority (1 is higher priority than 2) will have their handles assigned first. This is persistent for each cwd. Set priority to <Space> to remove it.

  filter = function(mark)
    return mark:match('[a-zA-Z]') -- return true to disable
  end,
}
