swivb - Switch to buffer like ivy

Description

This package extract the ivy-virtual-buffer feature to its own so you don't depend on the whole ivy for completion.

If you have projectile project opened it will show them as well.

It add as well an optional "function mode", where you can advanced switching configuration to switch to a buffer or launch a function.

Simply launch the interactive function swivb and it will show you the current buffer, the recent list files from recentf and the bookmarks.

Config

You can configure the variable swivb-actions to have special actions, for example :

(setq swivb-actions '((:name "*Gnus*" :function "gnus" :buffer "*Group*")))

This will add an item called *Gnus* and launch the function gnus if you choose it, unless the buffer *Group* already exist it will then switch to it.

Additionally you can override swbuf switch or find-file function in argument, for example :

(swivb 'find-file-other-tab 'swivb-switch-to-buffer-or-focus-tab)

The swivb-switch-to-buffer-or-focus-tab function will focus a tab if the buffer name exist or switch-to-bufer it.
