lir.nvim VS nvim-tree.lua

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

lir.nvim

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.

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.

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.

lir.nvim, file manager with a simple interface and support for floating windows.

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

The file explorer uses lir.nvim.

lir.nvim: A file explorer for those who don't like filetrees.

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
