Introduction

This week we have several exciting updates, including support for sticky buffers in Neovim (and Vim!), a new python LSP added to lspconfig, a plugin for managing ram usage from your language servers, rest.nvim v2 release and other exciting plugins from the community.

Hope you enjoy the issue!

Neovim Core Commits

Sticky buffers

A vim patch was ported to Neovim core to support "sticky buffers". You can clamp a window to a specific buffer. Features like quickfix will not unintentionally use that window for showing other buffers. Try it out with:

:edit foo
:setlocal winfixbuf
:edit bar

Here is the issue.
