The Gems of Moreutils
I just learned about vidir [1]. Emacs Dired [2] can rename & delete files by editing the buffer directly, and let's say I was thrilled when I saw someone replicated that behavior as a general Unix tool.

vimv has not only changed my workflow, it changed my life
I'm sticking with (and would highly recommend) vidir over this.

New file explorer: oil.nvim, a modern take on vim-vinegar/vidir
If this sounds familiar, that's because it was not my idea! Almost one year ago exactly, dirbuf.nvim was announced and it blew my mind. From what I can tell, the idea for dirbuf actually came from an earlier plugin called vidir, but this was the first time I'd seen it and, to be fair, its execution is fantastic.
- What's the best command in Linux or windows that you have used and it turned out to be really awesome and helpful .

dirbuf.nvim: A file manager which let's you edit your filesystem like you edit text
You navigate Dirbuf with your cursor, pressing enter to open a file/directory. Editing in Dirbuf works like vidir where, when you edit a directory, you get a list of the files, directories, etc. in that directory and can edit them like text. Then when you save the buffer, all the files and directories you added get created, everything you copied gets copied, everything you renamed gets renamed, and everything you deleted gets deleted.

Best way to manipulate files inside neovim?
A very nice plugin which I use whenever I have to edit/create multiple files is oil.nvim

mini.files - navigate and manipulate file system (with column view and editing text)
For those that want this to replace `oil.nvim`, here are the keymaps I added to my config for it to behave the same as oil. The dash keymap will open `mini.files` in the current directory from the file you triggered the keymap. The `fe` keymap opens the `mini.files` at the root directory so you can use it like your file manager. I like that the location you leave the window when opening with `fe` is not affected by the location you leave the dash trigger. I hope that map makes sense. I use NvChad, so my mapping looks like this, but you should be able to use it in any distro or custom config.

Maybe https://github.com/stevearc/oil.nvim? Nvim tree and neotree both have floating mode as well which I prefer more.
- Oil.nvim is pretty cool
