nvim-cokeline VS vim-vinegar

I'm trying to use it to render it in a cokeline component, I want to hide only the very first letter when I'm picking a buffer, so I can show the pick_letter instead. Everytime the filename starts with one of those special multibyte characters (pretty much never), the buffername gets a weird character.

Cokeline (bufferbar) to see which buffers are loaded and close the ones i don't need

I've looked at Heirline a few times but I just can't get past not really understanding why I would use this over other tablines. There are a metric shitload of possibilities but I am a simple man. The lack of images on the repo makes it difficult for me as a perspective user, to look at the repo and decide if I want to use this or not. Given that Heirline is focused around a UI piece of neovim, whats your thoughts on getting a sort of "Gallery" put together to show what can be done with Heirline? Something akin to how cokeline.nvim or barbar.nvim handles this?

They is me :) I use cokeline

New merge to master that now provides support for is_first and is_last components

May I interest you in some?

Hi everyone! I recently switched nvim-cokeline to semantic versioning and v0.1.0 has been released a few days ago. The plugin has had a ton of improvements since my last post, just to name a few:

My main goal at this stage is to get as many people as possible to check out the project and give feedback for further development. If you're currently using some plugin that offers similar functionality, consider checking cokeline.nvim out!

Check it out at noib3/cokeline.nvim!

Check it out on noib3/cokeline.nvim and let me know if you like it! Feedback is greatly appreciated :)

I just recently got into the "plugin frenzy", and since I was already using netrw, I ignored all the tree-style options and just installed the tpope's vim-vinegar to extend it.

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

I think you might be looking for netrw (:Ex brings it up). It is the default file explorer and can be used in many cool ways. There are extensions for it, like (vim-vinegar, and :help netrw is your friend :)

Plain `netrw` with a few options changed and tpope's vim-vinegar for easy access

I use Vinegar but should try Oil. https://github.com/tpope/vim-vinegar

Hijacking netrw to prevent disruptive "project drawer" style plugins as mentioned in the vim-vinegar readme is important to me.

When you understand the default file explorer, you'll probably appreciate https://github.com/tpope/vim-vinegar

ThePrimeagen suggests pv as the mapping to see the folder, but - comes from me being used to https://github.com/tpope/vim-vinegar some time ago. Choose your's to your liking.

Netrw, vim’s built in file explorer is pretty solid if you’re looking to understand the topology of a project. I really like the pattern of browsing the file tree in the window pane where the file will open. vim vinegar is a great plugin for refining the netrw experience and making it a little more seamless. Takes a minute to learn the keybindings, but I find it much lighter and less intrusive than nerd tree or it’s offshoots.

This one is for the vinegar workflow enjoyers. Netrw is good enough for my needs but it was missing a bit of *bling*. This plugins adds basic icon supports and custom keymappings.
