harpoon VS rnvimr

A mini harpoon. Basically, a floating window with a list of files, and a way to navigate to them.

Check out harpoon which lets you pin buffers, that you frequently want to visit the most. For the rest Telescope buffers should suffice I believe.

Navigating open files I use harpoon https://github.com/ThePrimeagen/harpoon

Netrw + vim-vinegar works for me. In conjunction with harpoon and a bufferline and maybe vim-eunuch, it works out pretty well

Check out harpoon and other.nvim for improving your workflow. I've only used harpoon and am really satisfied with using it. other is on my checklist, so you might also test it out.

got a question about other. I am using harppon.nvim atm. What’s the benefit of using other or do they complement each other?

Harpoon for quick buffer switching that persists across sessions

Not sure if it’s helpful, but Harpoon allows per-branch marks, so that code might be relevant if you go down that path. https://github.com/ThePrimeagen/harpoon

This does sound like harpoon a bit.

You can ranger inside of Neovim with this plugin rnvimr. Check it out. Neo-tree is another plugin that I like as a file manager. And also mini.files is another option if you prefer a more minimal approach and the ability to manipulate files like you edit a normal Neovim buffer. I'm pretty sure there are other great options out there as well, these are just my personal preferences.

https://github.com/kevinhwang91/rnvimr is pretty good, it opens ranger in a floating terminal and takes care of file renaming and deletion, etc.

Ranger inside Neovim for when I need it

This plugin is unique from the other alternatives such as ranger.vim and rnvimr in that my plugin has no dependencies besides ‘ranger’ and written in 100% lua.

chadtree for dealing with files in the current project & Rnvimr (which basically integrates Ranger) when I want to work with files all over the disk.

Although Ranger is a terminal application, you can use it in neovim via some plugins like rnvimr.

If you don't mind switch to another plugin I highly recommend rnvimr to use ranger, a real-world, feature-complete file amanger perfecrly integrated in nvim.
