nnn.vim VS nvim-tree.lua

So these days I just use https://github.com/mcchrish/nnn.vim

Yeah I'm not sure what the point is of such a minimal plugin when nnn.nvim and nnn.vim already exist which both do do that, and more.

file managers or project/directory viewer

nnn with nnn.vim because I'm lazy and I already use nnn on its own.

Created this plugin because I've switched from Ranger to xplr.nvim as my daily driver and wanted a cleaner interaction between the 2 programs. I like to sometimes use my file manager within neovim, and would prefer not to use shell to exchange data between them. Because xplr now uses LuaJit, pynvim/python isn't needed etc (like other msgpack plugins) It aims to support the "regular" features (opening files in nvim, switch cwd etc) like in rnvimr or nnn.vim

You can try nnn.vim, a vim-ish file picker as well as fast and full-featured file manager within vim.

You'll invoke it as a floating window. See nnn.vm for usage.

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
