dashboard-nvim VS nvim-tree.lua

I try to setup plugin dashboard-nvim - https://github.com/nvimdev/dashboard-nvim - to have a startup page with recent project list.

It looks like LazyNvim uses dashboard-nvim. (Here's the code in LazyNvim that uses dashboard.)

Hi to everyone. I've literally just started using neovim, but from a couple of days I am struggling with dashboard-nvim customization. I know it is a dumb question (and I apologize in advance for this): I would like to change the first line in the next image, in order to display custom things.

You can use the dashboard.nvim to create a custom startup screen for Neovim. Check out my dashboard config for an example

I have used glepnir-dashboard in neovim. Is there any available Dashboard for vim?

There's also https://github.com/glepnir/dashboard-nvim

glepnir/dashboard-nvim: vim dashboard (github.com) - at a36b32 btw, too lazy to upgrade :P

dashboard-nvim

So I have been looking at goolord/alpha-nvim and glepnir/dashboard-nvim for the startup screen. However, I often do nvim . when working so the startup screen is the directory tree (I use kyazdani42/nvim-tree.lua) The start-up screen in the directory tree looks like this.

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
