Hooks

You can customize the behavior of Scope.nvim using the provided hooks in your configuration. Here's an example of how to set up the pre_tab_enter hook:

-- init.lua
require("scope").setup({
    hooks = {
        pre_tab_enter = function()
            -- Your custom logic to run before entering a tab
        end,
    },
})

The pre_tab_enter hook allows you to define custom actions to run before entering a tab. This function is just one of several hooks you can use to further customize your experience with Scope.nvim.

Here's an overview of the available hooks:

• pre_tab_enter: Run custom logic before entering a tab.
• post_tab_enter: Run custom logic after entering a tab.
• pre_tab_leave: Run custom logic before leaving a tab.
• post_tab_leave: Run custom logic after leaving a tab.
• pre_tab_close: Run custom logic before closing a tab.
• post_tab_close: Run custom logic after closing a tab.

⚙️ Commands

Command	Description
:ScopeMoveBuf <tab_nr>	Move current buffer to the specified tab. If tab_nr is omitted/invalid, scope.nvim will prompt for a tab number. If current buf is the only buf in current tab, it will be "copied" to target to retain the layout, otherwise, it will be "moved"
