VapourNvim VS nvim-tree.lua

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

This works for installing the other plugins. But I can't seem to access nvim-tree. According to the website (https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua), I should be able enter :NvimTreeOpen in neovim, but I get "Not an editor command: NvimTreeOpen." Any ideas?

For splitting the terminal you could try either toggleterm or tmux. If you want to send things from one tmux pane to another, then you can use slime. For a toggle-able filetree, you can use nvim tree.

(Neovim) nvim-tree

Also you can use your file browser such as neo-tree, nvim-tree, or even netrw.

I have almost finished customize nvim tree to equal bg colors. Can't resolve only when nvtree out of focus. What of paramets i should write? I tryied from this https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua/blob/master/doc/nvim-tree-lua.txt but nothing

I was having an issue with my colorscheme Sonokai and I found my issue

Personally I use will133/vim-dirdiff plugin, but it is pretty troublesome as I need to invoke `:DirDiff /path/to/dir1 /path/to/some/dir2`. What would be ideal is to extend nvim-tree, to be able to mark two directories (in similar manner as it has bookmarks) and then execute `:DirDiff` against those marked directories, but I'm not that familiar with Lua yet to write that. ;/

The open_on_setup feature apparently has been removed in nvim-tree.lua https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua/wiki/Open-At-Startup. Look at this wiki page where you can get all the necessary helpful information there about how to configure open_on_setup.

My tabstop is changing from 4 to 8 everytime that I open a file using nvim-tree https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua
