Tell me your plugins ideas and I will try do it

I wish I can preview git diff hunk in vscode-like style (blaspheme, I know), i.e. text before & after change are opened in a nice, full-width split in the middle of current window instead of in a floating window with + and - prefixes. There are similar plugin for LSP actions: glance.nvim but I haven't found one for git hunk diff (AFAIK diffview.nvim opens diff for a whole file in a new tab, so it is not what I'm looking for).

How to open a file from neotree in a chosen window?
1 project | /r/DoomEmacs | 12 Jul 2023

I see this option available in the documentation. See "open_with_window_picker" in https://github.com/nvim-neo-tree/neo-tree.nvim. But in spite of installing nvim-window-picker, pressing w only moves to the next word in the neotree window. It does not ask me to choose a window. How can I enable things so that I can choose a window I want to open the file in?
