bufexplorer VS nvim-tree.lua

I have those two installed, but I hardly use it. I still use good old one like https://github.com/jlanzarotta/bufexplorer.

To open new buffers I usually use telescope. But to switch quickly between files I'm currently working on, I use Ctrl+6 (mapped to tab) or BufExplorer https://github.com/jlanzarotta/bufexplorer (mapped to Ctrl+tab). With BufExplorer you can also close opened buffers easily.

In addition to all those ways Vim offers by default, there is a plugin that could be interesting for you: https://github.com/jlanzarotta/bufexplorer When the buffer explorer opens, you see a list and can navigate with hjkl. An Enter will open this buffer.

I've been using BufExplorer for several years now. It's basically :ls with convenient navigation.

I love FZF but to switch and manage buffers I still use BufExplorer. We can easily wipe or delete buffers, it keeps track of the buffers opened in each tab (this way it's easy to have tabs for different aspects of the project I'm working on), etc.

I've been using BufExplorer for over a decade haven't really seen anything worth switching to so far...

tabs for me are very useful, I use tabs with every file that I know I have to change, when I want to change the buffer I use https://github.com/jlanzarotta/bufexplorer if the buffer is opened in another tab also the plugin change the tab

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
