Wrote my own functions for lf
As a rational why I did that: I often switch directories with lf (:cd) and to restore my session I had to use some hooks like DirChanged and DirChangedPre to get around some weird things happening in the lf plugin by lmburns which I used (not trying to shame, it's a great plugin, probably just not a fit for me). So to remove those, I thought why not give it a try, I also recently wrote my own functions for lazydocker / lazygit and lf also fits into the same category.
- NvimTree vs NeoTree

Terminal filemanager that works good with neovim
There is a neovim plugin for lf, which works really well
-
diffrence of the "e" and "l" key in lf file manager?
This was something i wanted to do as well. Then i installed a lf nvim plugin which uses toogleterm to spawn lf in a popup window.

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?
lir.nvim
-
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.
