VapourNvim VS nvim-fzf

OP and others: vim / neovim can be actual IDEs, with debuggers, autocomplete, filesystem selects, etc. There's even distros of neovim out there, like https://github.com/LunarVim/LunarVim & https://github.com/NvChad/NvChad & https://github.com/VapourNvim/VapourNvim (for people who don't want to fiddle with config or want starting points)

Havent tried it, but if you just want to test it out, a neovim distro like lunarvim or vapourvim might get you up and running with it quicker.

When you are talking about being as close as possible to an actual IDE, you should have a look at VapourNvim.

You can have a look at projects like nvchad, lunarvim or vapour nvim. However, those are just examples. You can open this link and use exactly what you want and how you want.

The main repository Wiki mentions the plugin nvim-tree.lua as its file explorer.

You can find it here

For Neovim install https://github.com/vijaymarupudi/nvim-fzf.git as base and my https://github.com/cpkio/nvim-fzf-commands-win.git commands. gdiff.lua contains the code you need. README.md contains my environment defaults for FZF too, including keys to enable-disable preview window.

There's also some relevant plugins: - ctrlpvim/ctrlp.vim: Active fork of kien/ctrlp.vim—Fuzzy file, buffer, mru, tag, etc finder. - vijaymarupudi/nvim-fzf: A Lua API for using fzf in neovim. - nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim: Find, Filter, Preview, Pick. All lua, all the time. - gelguy/wilder.nvim: A more adventurous wildmenu

EDIT: credit for this goes to /u/doesntthinkmuch the author of the fantastic nvim-fzf which is at the core of fzf-lua and what inspired me to write the plugin to begin with.

If you need more complex feeds (not just shell commands) and don't wish to build all of it by yourself I highly recommend checking out nvim-fzf, has great API and documentation.

You would need to install nvim-minyank and this fzf wrapper library.

If you like Lua and fzf, you might like my plugin: https://github.com/vijaymarupudi/nvim-fzf

I'm actually migrating what I need or want to this library https://github.com/vijaymarupudi/nvim-fzf. It lets you config Fzf with Lua. It doesn't have all the features Telescope has, but I can take my time writing my own stuff.
