rnvimr VS neovim-remote

You can ranger inside of Neovim with this plugin rnvimr. Check it out. Neo-tree is another plugin that I like as a file manager. And also mini.files is another option if you prefer a more minimal approach and the ability to manipulate files like you edit a normal Neovim buffer. I'm pretty sure there are other great options out there as well, these are just my personal preferences.

https://github.com/kevinhwang91/rnvimr is pretty good, it opens ranger in a floating terminal and takes care of file renaming and deletion, etc.

Ranger inside Neovim for when I need it

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.

chadtree for dealing with files in the current project & Rnvimr (which basically integrates Ranger) when I want to work with files all over the disk.

Although Ranger is a terminal application, you can use it in neovim via some plugins like rnvimr.

If you don't mind switch to another plugin I highly recommend rnvimr to use ranger, a real-world, feature-complete file amanger perfecrly integrated in nvim.

Notice that this script depends on mhinz/neovim-remote: Support for --remote and friends. (github.com). (nvr as you have notice). The full-path is required to make it work.

I am currently using https://github.com/mhinz/neovim-remote with this bit in my zshrc:

Since they are on different screens I cannot use a single neovim instance (I tried playing around with neovim-remote but seems like that's for the usecase of opening files in one instance from different terminals -- doesn't help). Due to multiple LSP instances changes in one file are not reflected in the other, e.g., file B imports some types from file A; I create a new type in A but since B's neovim instance is not aware of any change to the A file corresponding the LSP fails to see the new type.

This version includes `nv` binary which is [neovim-remote](https://github.com/mhinz/neovim-remote) but rewritten in Rust (I've did it out of boredom) also with interface similar to `page`.

Practical use case: when navigating in ANY terminal (or tmux) write a function that sends opened files to a single running neovim instance instead of spreading opened vim instances all around like neovim remote does, but works for any terminal

I see the integration with neovim is done via a separate plugin, did you think about adding support for neovim-remote?

Another way of doing what u/TheLeoP23 suggested is by using https://github.com/mhinz/neovim-remote . This way you have a single neovim instance and you can open it on different terminals and mantain your current workflow.
