# NvChad API

These are list of some functions & tips/tricks which are provided by nvchad plugins that aren't included in the config. You can make commands & mappings out of them.

GotoTab

• This utilizes the vim.t.bufs tab table variable where we store buffer numbers of current tab.
• Then it loops from 1-9 to create mappings of switching tab by number i.e Alt+1 will switch first tab.

for i = 1, 9, 1 do
  vim.keymap.set("n", string.format("<A-%s>", i), function()
    vim.api.nvim_set_current_buf(vim.t.bufs[i])
  end)
end

Arrange buffer

• Used for arranging buffers left/right in the tabufline.

-- move buffer right
require("nvchad_ui.tabufline").move_buf(1)

-- move buffer left
require("nvchad_ui.tabufline").move_buf(-1)

Toggle transparency

• Used to toggle transparency, make sure that you have transparency option set in your chadrc.

require("base46").toggle_transparency()

Toggle themes

• Used to toggle between 2 themes, make sure that you have theme_toggle option set in your chadrc.

require("base46").toggle_theme()

Close all buffers

• Used to close all the buffers in current tab. ( the close icon in tabufline handles this ).

require("nvchad_ui.tabufline").closeAllBufs()

Show only modifed buffers

• This is an autocmd which will show only modified buffers and current buffer, read more.
• Put it in your custom/init.lua

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd({ "BufAdd", "BufEnter", "tabnew" }, {
  callback = function()
    vim.t.bufs = vim.tbl_filter(function(bufnr)
      return vim.api.nvim_buf_get_option(bufnr, "modified")
    end, vim.t.bufs)
  end,
})
