NrrwRgn VS vim-vinegar

Throwback to a real classic: narrow region

I lean a fair bit in the opposite direction. If a sort is any more complex than -n or -k, I tend to vipe¹ my sort in my editor.

It feels great when you can use narrow-to-region² to perfect a complex address or write a custom function with all your editor's power at your fingertips. With the sad, but obvious, drawback that the changes aren't linked in your disjoint shell and editor history.

² Nowadays, that is more likely https://github.com/chrisbra/NrrwRgn for me.

NrrwRgn ?

chrisbra/NrrwRgn - Opens focussed part "region" of the buffer

On a more general level, Christian Brabandt's re-imagining of emacs' region narrowing can be a great work to work files that contain complex embedded strings.

Much like the emacs feature it is useful outside this specific use case too, and it can be a great way to perform heavy edits without needing to care about boundaries and such.

Wow! It's like https://github.com/chrisbra/NrrwRgn with steroids! Good job!

https://github.com/chrisbra/NrrwRgn might work. Narrow the region to that of only the script and change the filetype (:set filetype=typescript) of the narrowed regions buffer (it will open a separate window, with its own buffer) to that of the server you want and then do :Lsp start. Haven't tried it myself as I do not write any html with embedded script.

My use case is somewhat similiar to https://github.com/chrisbra/NrrwRgn and maybe i could tweak it to actually do it, but i feel it's not quite there. I'd like to still se the other regions of the code while editing.

I just recently got into the "plugin frenzy", and since I was already using netrw, I ignored all the tree-style options and just installed the tpope's vim-vinegar to extend it.

Netrw + vim-vinegar works for me. In conjunction with harpoon and a bufferline and maybe vim-eunuch, it works out pretty well

I think you might be looking for netrw (:Ex brings it up). It is the default file explorer and can be used in many cool ways. There are extensions for it, like (vim-vinegar, and :help netrw is your friend :)

Plain `netrw` with a few options changed and tpope's vim-vinegar for easy access

I use Vinegar but should try Oil. https://github.com/tpope/vim-vinegar

Hijacking netrw to prevent disruptive "project drawer" style plugins as mentioned in the vim-vinegar readme is important to me.

When you understand the default file explorer, you'll probably appreciate https://github.com/tpope/vim-vinegar

ThePrimeagen suggests pv as the mapping to see the folder, but - comes from me being used to https://github.com/tpope/vim-vinegar some time ago. Choose your's to your liking.

Netrw, vim’s built in file explorer is pretty solid if you’re looking to understand the topology of a project. I really like the pattern of browsing the file tree in the window pane where the file will open. vim vinegar is a great plugin for refining the netrw experience and making it a little more seamless. Takes a minute to learn the keybindings, but I find it much lighter and less intrusive than nerd tree or it’s offshoots.

This one is for the vinegar workflow enjoyers. Netrw is good enough for my needs but it was missing a bit of *bling*. This plugins adds basic icon supports and custom keymappings.
