ranger.vim VS lf.vim

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

You probably already checked it out but https://github.com/ptzz/lf.vim

You can use terminal file manager (e.g. https://github.com/gokcehan/lf) inside vim-floaterm (https://github.com/voldikss/vim-floaterm#use-with-command-line-tools , for lf there is also additive plugin https://github.com/ptzz/lf.vim) You can than map something like this: nnoremap e :Lf nnoremap w :LfWorkingDirectory

After trying a lot of terminal file browsers I ended up using lf and that's what I use with vim as well. ptzz/lf.vim

For those who are not comfortable using floating window concept in `official` lf plugin or get accustomed to ranger.vim but eager to start using LF please welcome lf.vim.
