telescope-file-browser.nvim VS fzf.vim

EDIT: I found what I was looking for https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim and https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-file-browser.nvim

an alternative is to use telescope-file browser, which simply allows you to interactively go up/down a directory: https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-file-browser.nvim

I use a lot of key bindings for telescope. A regular use of mine is to open telescope file browser with `` without a previewer, and `` (shift) with previewer. So I have `Layer + f` that sends `` on tap and `` on double tap. Same goes for telescope grep string, but a different config: `` does a live grep in relative folder and `` does a global live grep. Very useful when navigating big monorepos. This is how the layer looks:

There's telescope-file-browser.nvim

hop.nvim to easily hop to specific text with minimal keystrokes

True that, relative path makes sense. But I think I will install again https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-file-browser.nvim

there's also telescope-file-browser so you can still have a file tree but you can fuzzy find over it.

Whenever I need a file browser I use https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-file-browser.nvim (mapped to fb), but I most often use ff which is mapped to telescope find_file.

Fuzzy Finder: fzf.vim (for its speed) along with telescope.nvim (for its ecosystem)

And added my keyboard shortcuts.

There are two plugins allowing us to use fzf in Vim: the native fzf plugin directly installed with fzf, and fzf.vim. The second plugin is built on the first one.

You might be interested in installing the fzf-vim plugin [0]. It has a user-defined command :Maps which can be used to search through all keybindings (you can also do this with just :nmap in vim, but the fzf interface is much nicer). It also provides :Commands. This behaves remarkably like VSCode's command palette.

You'll also need https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim (which is imo the only vim plugin that's a must).

I do all my file operations from the command line. But to open and search files I use fzf

Regarding plugins , I am using https://github.com/Donaldttt/fuzzyy because it works in windows, unlike https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim

There's a :Buffers command in fzf.vim that I use extensively. It opens a fuzzy-find window with all open buffers in a MRU list.

Thanks to fzf.vim and fzf-lua, everything I learned and copied is from them.

I used https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim until recently. It's much faster. Ultimately I switched to Telescope because some of the extra pickers were very handy.
