What are some plugins that you can't live without?

Managing your files. How do you do it?
I'm already using vifm as my main-file-manager so I'm using `fm-nvim with a custom vifm-open-function to open up vifm in nvim.
-
Using neovim without a file tree plugin
For "neighbour" files of the current buffer I normally use :NeoTreeReveal if the file is in the main repo. (the current pwd). If not I'll use fm-nvim with ranger. I can use the Ranger %:p:h command to open the folder of the current folder in ranger without changing the pwd in vim.

Overview of popular nvim plugins?
I'm using vifm as my file manager which is pretty awesome in combination with (n)vim which is easy possible thanks to fm-nvim.

fm-nvim: Neovim plugin that lets you use your favorite terminal file managers from within Neovim
I've recently released a Neovim plugin that opens a floating window with 1/5 terminal file managers called fm-nvim. It's quite small and fast as the entire plugin is written in less than 100 lines of Lua.

NvimTree vs NeoTree
My ‘-‘ is always mapped to a very quick file switcher so it’s currently opening lir (https://github.com/tamago324/lir.nvim)

Which file explorer do you use?

Managing your files. How do you do it?
There is the built-in file browser, netrw, but I switched from that to vim-dirvish to lir.nvim to oil.nvim. These are file browsers, not file trees, and my preference for them is probably because I became accustomed to netrw after using it for so long.

Using neovim without a file tree plugin
netrw was part of my workflow for a while, but it had some weird bugginess just frequently enough to make me go looking for an alternative. I found lir.nvim and I've been liking it so far, especially because of how minimal and customizable it is.

Migrate from NerdTree to NvimTree
Just my two cents, try a file split-based file manager(1). I like lir.nvim. It’s very customizable and the API is amazing if you want to add your own functionality.
-
What are some of your favorite eye candy plugins?
lir.nvim, file manager with a simple interface and support for floating windows.
-
Using NerdTree-like file explore does not feel fast enough.
You should try lir.nvim it is a file explorer kinda like dirvish, I use both, lir for file management and NvimTree for a quick overview of the project
- Any plugin that gives me a floating file manager? I just need it to do operations like move, rename, copy and delete
-
What are your prized/favorite lua functions?
The file explorer uses lir.nvim.
