"  Description: Buffer Explorer Vim Plugin
"   Maintainer: Jeff Lanzarotta (my name at gmail dot com)
" Last Changed: Thursday, 20 March 2025
"      Version: See g:bufexplorer_version for version number.
"        Usage: This file should reside in the plugin directory and be
"               automatically sourced.
"
"               You may use the default keymappings of
"
"                 <Leader>be  - Opens BufExplorer
"                 <Leader>bt  - Toggles BufExplorer open or closed
"                 <Leader>bs  - Opens horizontally split window BufExplorer
"                 <Leader>bv  - Opens vertically split window BufExplorer
"
"               Or you can override the defaults and define your own mapping
"               in your vimrc file, for example:
"
"                   nnoremap <silent> <F11> :BufExplorer<CR>
"                   nnoremap <silent> <s-F11> :ToggleBufExplorer<CR>
"                   nnoremap <silent> <m-F11> :BufExplorerHorizontalSplit<CR>
"                   nnoremap <silent> <c-F11> :BufExplorerVerticalSplit<CR>
"
"               Or you can use
"
"                 ":BufExplorer"                - Opens BufExplorer
"                 ":ToggleBufExplorer"          - Opens/Closes BufExplorer
"                 ":BufExplorerHorizontalSplit" - Opens horizontally window BufExplorer
"                 ":BufExplorerVerticalSplit"   - Opens vertically split window BufExplorer
"
"               For more help see supplied documentation.

" MRU data structure {{{2
" An MRU data structure is a dictionary that holds a circular doubly linked list
" of `item` values.  The dictionary contains three keys:
"   'head': a sentinel `item` representing the head of the list.
"   'next': a dictionary mapping an `item` to the next `item` in the list.
"   'prev': a dictionary mapping an `item` to the previous `item` in the list.
" E.g., an MRU holding buffer numbers will use `0` (an invalid buffer number) as
" `head`.  With the buffer numbers `1`, `2`, and `3`, an example MRU would be:
"
"           +--<---------<---------<---------<---------<+
"  `next`   |                                           |
"           +--> +---+ --> +---+ --> +---+ --> +---+ -->+
"  `head`        | 0 |     | 1 |     | 2 |     | 3 |
"           +<-- +---+ <-- +---+ <-- +---+ <-- +---+ <--+
"  `prev`   |                                           |
"           +->-------->--------->--------->--------->--+
"
" `head` allows the chosen sentinel item to differ in value and type; for
" example, `head` could be the string '.', allowing an MRU of strings (such as
" for `TabId` values).
"
" Note that dictionary keys are always strings.  Integers may be used, but they
" are converted to strings when used (and `keys(theDictionary)` will be a
" list of strings, not of integers).
