Top 6 Lua File Manager Projects

  • telescope-file-browser.nvim

    File Browser extension for telescope.nvim

    • Project mention: What are the plugins/settings to be able to view individual file or folder contents while scrolling through files or folders? | /r/neovim | 2023-12-05

    EDIT: I found what I was looking for https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim and https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-file-browser.nvim

  • dirbuf.nvim

    A file manager for Neovim which lets you edit your filesystem like you edit text

    • Project mention: People who swear by Oil.nvim , why? | /r/neovim | 2023-12-04

    For me I think it’s the best at what it does (with mini.files coming in a close second. It would probably be my first, but I prefer the whole buffer approach over the floating popups.) I’ve tried dirbuf.nvim as well, but I didn’t like that I couldn’t copy/move files.

  • fm-nvim

    🗂 Neovim plugin that lets you use your favorite terminal file managers (and fuzzy finders) from within Neovim.

    • Project mention: What are some plugins that you can't live without? | /r/neovim | 2023-12-04

    fm-nvim

  • lf.nvim

    Lf file manager for Neovim (in Lua)

    • Project mention: Wrote my own functions for lf | /r/neovim | 2023-11-06

    As a rational why I did that: I often switch directories with lf (:cd) and to restore my session I had to use some hooks like DirChanged and DirChangedPre to get around some weird things happening in the lf plugin by lmburns which I used (not trying to shame, it's a great plugin, probably just not a fit for me). So to remove those, I thought why not give it a try, I also recently wrote my own functions for lazydocker / lazygit and lf also fits into the same category.

  • tri-pane.xplr

    xplr plugin that implements ranger-like three pane layout
