Feature request: ignore certain buffers

[jackfranklin]

Love this plugin! I would love the ability to provide a custom should_ignore(bufnr) callback so I can remove some buffers that I don't ever want to list in there (for my workflow this is the Fugitive git buffer, etc).

I would love to contribute this feature, if you would be happy to land it? Thanks :)

I think this feature could be implemented without changing the core and just providing a wrapper around the builtin buffer list generator

Can you point me to what you're picturing? I see the method in Buffer to get the list, I guess I'd probably be looking at that?

You could override this function: https://github.com/leath-dub/snipe.nvim/blob/main/lua/snipe/init.lua#L230

local snipe = require("snipe")
local default_buffer_list = snipe.get_sorted_buffer_list
snipe.get_sorted_buffer_list = function ()
  local buffer_list = default_buffer_list()
  local filtered_buffer_list = {}
  -- filter buffer_list ..
  return filtered_buffer_list
end

Snipe just has a bunch of default implementations for buffer list behaviour in init.lua, you can globally override any of these as shown above.
