Some fzf commands hide alternate buffer if I use {'window': 'enew'} layout setting. For instance, BLines, BTags, Tags commands. Is it possible to fix this issue?
By the way, Files command works properly, alternate buffer is there as expected.

I'm not sure what you're describing. Can you elaborate and provide the steps to reproduce?

[yevhen-m]

@junegunn sure.
ubuntu/osx, neovim 0.2.0-dev

let g:fzf_layout = { 'window': 'enew' } -- this has to be in init.vim (I want fzf buffers be opened in the current active window).

Start nvim, open a file, then another one, ensure you can switch between alternate buffers (C-^). Then for instance do :BLines (I don't have any prefix set for fzf commands) and jump to any line, or just close fzf buffer with C-c. Now, when I try to switch to alternate buffer, I get vim error E23: No alternate file. Instead, I want to go to the buffer, that was alternate before I executed :BLines.

Hmm, I see. When fzf is open, it becomes the primary buffer and the previous buffer becomes the alternate file, and the other buffer that was previously marked as alternate file is pushed away.

I don't know if there a way to fix it. Is there a way to manually set the alternate file?

tpope/vim-vinegar#25 Does this help?

let g:fzf_layout = {'window': 'keepalt enew'} combined with some fixes on fzf plugin should help.

[junegunn]

Hmm, looks like fzf can force keepalt so that specifying it in g:fzf_layout is not necessary.

[junegunn]

Should be fixed now (keepalt in fzf_layout is not necessary). Thanks for the report.

@junegunn thanks a lot. I love this layout.
