Buffer list not shown

[tuxflo]

Some infos first:
Operating System: KDE Neon (Ubuntu 16.04)
Compiler version: g++ (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.5) 5.4.0 20160609
QT version: 5.9 (qt5-default/xenial,now 5.9.3+dfsg-0neon+16.04+xenial+build41 amd64)
Build version: latest git version, commit 539522c

Problem:
In the GUI version the buffer list (created by vim-airline) is not shown. Here are 2 screenshots to visualize the issue:
Nvim in Konsole:

Neovim-qt:

I'm using lots of buffers and the list prevents me from getting lost :)

I can confirm this issue.

I am having this problem, too.

The reason for this is airline's buffer line reuses the tabline which is handled by nvim-qt. You can turn off the gui tabline with the --no-ext-tabline option to use the default tui tabline.

[cristobaltapia]

That works, thanks! Is there an configuration that can be used instead of opening nvim-qt with that option? (in ginit or something like that?)

[BoltsJ]

No, there isn't currently. I'd recommend making a copy of nvim-qt.desktop in ~/.local/share/applications/ and changing the Exec line to Exec=nvim-qt --no-ext-tabline -- %F if you're on Linux.

Now that #431 is merged, you can use GuiTabline 0 in ginit.vim to disable the gui tabline.

Thanks @BoltsJ ! It works perfectly! :)

Closing this then.

Hi,
Now that it's merged, could we please get a release containing #431? The latest release (0.2.9) only supports --no-ext-tabline, which is problematic when you sync your vimrc between many different computers.

(On a related note, I'm not sure if we should have GuiTabline enabled by default. In 0.2.9 it's not rendered at all, and on master it only shows the current buffer, whereas when disabled airline displays all open buffers.)

EDIT: Not showing all buffers seems to be specific to airline - when manually creating tabs in a vanilla config it works as expected.
