My apologies in advance, if either my question is stupid or if I am blunt, but it is not clear what the plugin additionally does, when compared to fzf.vim. What I understood so far, is by pressing CTRL + / is toggles the preview window. Thanks.

@rafaelnp: something like the default BLines (left) will not preview the content you're searching for; this plugin's BufferLines (right) will. To me, it's clearly superior.

@dycw How do we install this(should we replace the existing plugin). TIA

dycw commented

@cibinmathew I would use vim-plug; if so, you'll need to put Plug 'chengzeyi/fzf-preview.vim' in your .vimrc (or nvim.init).

Thanks @dycw
@chengzeyi may be it helps to add a section or atleast a hint to follow any of the standard installation for plugins

@dycw thanks for you reply, now it is clear. 👍 🙂
