nvim-unception VS mini.nvim

You can also use the built-in terminal and use any terminal file manager you want. nvim-unception or flatten.nvim can be used to prevent nesting.

Flatten was inspired by nvim-unception, which accomplishes the same goal but can be difficult to configure in my opinion.

I’d look at how https://github.com/samjwill/nvim-unception does it.

This is my plugin. The relevant use case is demoed here from 30 seconds onwards. Basically, I block a terminal buffer forever until the git commit message buffer is BufUnloaded, which triggers an autocmd that unblocks the terminal buffer. However, it currently only works by opening the git commit message buffer in a new tab.

Try unception

I wrote nvim-unception and posted about it several months back; some people seemed to like it, even though it was still a bit rough around the edges.

I'm obviously incredibly biased, but since I prefer to use the built-in terminal emulator instead of Tmux for multiplexing and running quick bash commands, the biggest improvement for me personally was implementing a plugin that I wrote to quickly open files from inside the terminal buffer, and a keybind that I made to open a terminal window in the directory of the file that has focus.

U could use a plug plugin like nvim-unception to do what you are trying to do more efficiently.

This is essentially a tagline of mini.move.

Just as the others suggested, oil.nvim solves this outta the box. I freaking love it (here my config in case ya need it). Apparently also mini.files handles this by default

You mean backwards seeking text objects? You can get those with mini.ai https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.nvim/blob/main/readmes/mini-ai.md

I would like to offer you to join me in saying late greetings to this autumn with a release of mini.nvim version 0.10.0. It is mostly about introducing three (quite feature full, dare I say) modules and minor updates of existing ones.

Last night I cleaned up all the dead code in my config and realised that mini.nvim has to be the single best plugin that I've used. I have a couple of other favourites but this collection has been so consistently good that I wanted to give some thanks to the juggernaut that is u/echasnovski! Thanks for all the work you plugin authors and core maintainers put in to make this editor what it is <3

For example: I spent a lot of time configuring file tree plugins to have the same sorting as VS Code, tweaking their icons, etc. But then I realized I barely used the file explorer at all, and now I'm super happy with the minimal approach of mini.files. I had similar experiences with other plugins that were just adding "fluff" instead of the functionality I was looking for.

Around two weeks ago I've announced the release of mini.files - a file explorer module of mini.nvim with column view navigation and "edit text to manipulate file system" design. This resulted into a great feedback from the community, much of which turned into new features.
