Auto close defx buffer after opening a new file or dir

See original GitHub issue

Hi, @Shougo.

Is there a better way to automatically close the defx buffer whenever I complete an defx#do_action('open')? I’m doing this way:

autocmd BufReadPre,FileReadPre * call s:DelDefxBuffer()

function! s:DelDefxBuffer()
  if bufexists("[defx]")
    exe 'bdelete \[defx\]'
  endif
endfunction

Thanks!

I have checked the sreencasts. The feature is already implemented, so the problem is gone.

If you just want to hide it from buffers list, try this:

autocmd FileType defx setlocal nobuflisted
