Question

Hi everyone ! I have an silly question.
It possible to hide the () button everytime start neovim?. It seems the () button is only available only if that buffer is empty. Like [No buffer].

You can try the following solution. It ensures that empty and unnamed buffers (like the ones created by :tabnew) are not listed in the buffer list:

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd({ "BufAdd", "BufEnter" }, {
    callback = function(args)
        if vim.bo[args.buf].buftype == "" and vim.api.nvim_buf_get_name(args.buf) == "" then
            vim.bo[args.buf].buflisted = false
        end
    end,
})

Yes it work.
Thanks you so much. I facing another issue.
It seems i can't make mini.icons work with mini.autocompletion.

This is how i setup my mini.icons

return { 'echasnovski/mini.icons', version = false,
	config = function()
	require("mini.icons").setup()
	end
}

My setup in completion. I expected show icons.

return { 
	'echasnovski/mini.completion', version = false,
	dependencies = {'echasnovski/mini.icons'},
config = function()
	require("mini.completion").setup()
	end

}

@bnhtho You can find the information here: Dependencies Section.

Alternatively, you can search for it directly in Neovim using:

:help mini.completion

Then look for the "Dependencies" or "Notes" section within the help file.

Just to clarify on this solution. 'mini.tabline' shows all listed buffers (which basically means that they have 'buflisted' option set to true and thus are intended to be shown in (any) buffer list. It also has special symbols for unnamed buffers: ! for scratch buffer and * for regular one. On the startup and after :tabnew there is one single listed regular unnamed buffer autocreated, thus the single * in tabline.

Yes, using either Neovim>=0.11 (current Nightly) or explicit MiniIcons.tweak_lsp_kind() is the way to go here.

I really hope the mini.autocompletion can finally support snippet in future.
It only work with lsp now. I tried mini.snippet today but it seems it not working. And turn out i read the docs of mini.completion and realize this plugins is not expand snippets..

'mini.snippets' does work as it is designed to not depend on completion engines to provide snippets.

Adding snippet support in 'mini.completion' has very high priority during current phase of backlog cleaning. You can subscribe to #886 to keep track.

Glad to hear it ! I hope is become true as soon as possible.
Because i use a lot of mini plugins. 😄 And really want to use mini.completion work with snippet because i feel mini.completion much better, more repsonsive then other plugins (nvim-cmp..)
