Is PIDA available for Windows?

I close buffers in Vim. Why are they still visible in PIDA?

If you have closed a vim buffer using :bd or Delete from the Buffer menu, the buffer will still remain in the PIDA buffer list. This is not a bug but a feature of how Vim works. It does not actually delete the buffer on :bd but merely hides it.

The solution is to use :bw. This properly unloads the buffer and PIDA correctly recognises this situation. If you have read the Vim docs (like a good Vimmer) you know hat the documentation regarding :bw is a bit scary, and asks you to make sure you know what you are doing. Rest assured, it works fine.
