netman.nvim VS ranger.vim

Hello Neovimers :) I posted this on the netman repo as well but I just wanted some opinions from users who use netman.

Lazy self promotion of netman.nvim which is designed to give you browse (and edit/read access) of remote systems without actually needing any configurations on said remote systems :)

I haven't been super active lately but Netman.nvim is my attempt to give neovim a solid remote editing experience. I've been taking a bit of time to myself though but it's still relatively stable for ssh and docker.

If you are really interested in doing this yourself with loop, you should take a look at either plenary.job or netman.shell (I made the latter) as both are very well documented.

If there are any users of Netman already that also use windows (or users of Neovim that want to use Netman but can't because they are on a windows machine), please checkout the windows-compat branch!

Does that not write out to the current pty? That is an issue I have been facing with generic ssh support in netman. I have yet to come up with a decent solution to it :(

A quick bullet point list of features that are included in this point update - Mostly complete Neo-tree integration - Moving files and directories between hosts (including between docker containers and ssh servers) - Auto opening your remote "home" directory in ssh - A complete rewrite of how our "integration" with neovim works - A completely new logging system - A new event system

The password issue is currently something I am looking to address in netman though exploration into the area has proven unfruitful so far :/

Netman supports remote editing of files over ssh.

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.

ranger.vim that integrates the file explorer ranger into vim. (Superior to NERDTree IMHO)

ranger, I got so used to using it and invested in learning many of its features that I can navigate around quite fast. I'm using francoiscabrol/ranger.vim but I have been meaning to check out kevinhwang91/rnvimr. I'm even using a fork which supports coloured icons.

I Installed Ranger plugin (https://github.com/francoiscabrol/ranger.vim) for File exploring and I experienced a very stupid problem. When I navigate and select a Typescript file to open, instead of being opened as text vim Nvim it opens as executable. At first it was VLC media player and now when I changed to iTerm it just reopens it in a separate window. How can I fix it ?

If I really want to see the tree (once a year), I use ranger via this plugin

I've been very happy with https://github.com/francoiscabrol/ranger.vim as well
