How I navigate between buffers in neovim

Описание: Here I go over the way I use to navigate buffers in neovim, I used tabs in the past, but over the past few months, I've discovered that I find tabs in neovim distracting and overwhelming. Sometines I have up to 20 files open, and I just cannot focus that well by having so many tabs shown at the top. That's why I prefer to have the tabs "hidden" we could say, and I navigate between my open buffers using the telescope buffers command.

Previously I used the bufexplorer plugin, which allows me to navigate between neovim buffers using the j and k keys, it also allowed me to close buffers by pressing the letter d, and to quit the plugin by pressing the letter q

I love this way of navigating buffers, because it's pretty similar to the way that I navigate sessions in tmux, I bring up the tmux sessions, navigate them with j and k and quit with q, so it's all about consistency across the tools I use

I now use telescope buffers, I open it in normal mode so that I can navigate buffers without having to switch from insert mode to normal mode, I can close buffers with d and I can quit the plugin with q

I also configured winbar to show me the amount of buffers that I have open, and I'll show you how to configure this as well
