nvim-unception VS nnn.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.

Something like this maybe? https://github.com/luukvbaal/nnn.nvim

nnn with https://github.com/luukvbaal/nnn.nvim works wonderful!

When I changed, I went one step further and switched to nnn... https://github.com/luukvbaal/nnn.nvim

NNN

nnn (https://github.com/jarun/nnn) via https://github.com/luukvbaal/nnn.nvim It's a very similar solution to telescope-file-browser but since nnn is a standalone filemanager, I can use the same file explorer inside and outside Neovim

I am trying to use nnn.nvim as an explorer (and picker) but seem to be unable to override nvim-tree's keybinding of " - e".

you may like luukvbaal/nnn.nvim: File manager for Neovim powered by nnn.; nnn has a handy "type-to-nav" feature where you press , it puts you in search mode (regular search is /), as you type it filters, then if one directory matches your search it automatically navigates into that directory and keeps you in the mode so you can keep typing

I fell in love with nnn and when I started using it in nvim I was surprised how much better if an experience it was https://github.com/luukvbaal/nnn.nvim

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.
