Disclaimer

This project is stable and functional but it was mainly made to experiment vimscript and neovim API.
I used it for a while but then i discovered the :Window command of FZF vim that I find much better and pleasant to use.
Even if I don't use it I'll still maintain this project, if you're facing a bug just open an issue on Github.
