Managing your files. How do you do it?
I'm already using vifm as my main-file-manager so I'm using `fm-nvim with a custom vifm-open-function to open up vifm in nvim.

Very new to Vim. Having trouble with running programs
You might want “vifm” instead, it’s a vim inspired file manager for the CLI that will let you see files and open them … https://github.com/vifm/vifm

Using neovim without a file tree plugin
I'm using vifm as my daily file manager, so I added it to neovim and I'm very happy with it! :)
-
vifm questions welcome here?
No, it's a standalone Vim-like file manager (site).

With great power comes great responsibility...
Hey it's already done. Vifm or nnn; take your pick. I prefer nnn since it's faster.

NvimTree vs NeoTree
My ‘-‘ is always mapped to a very quick file switcher so it’s currently opening lir (https://github.com/tamago324/lir.nvim)

lir.nvim

Managing your files. How do you do it?
There is the built-in file browser, netrw, but I switched from that to vim-dirvish to lir.nvim to oil.nvim. These are file browsers, not file trees, and my preference for them is probably because I became accustomed to netrw after using it for so long.
-
Using neovim without a file tree plugin
netrw was part of my workflow for a while, but it had some weird bugginess just frequently enough to make me go looking for an alternative. I found lir.nvim and I've been liking it so far, especially because of how minimal and customizable it is.
-
Migrate from NerdTree to NvimTree
Just my two cents, try a file split-based file manager(1). I like lir.nvim. It’s very customizable and the API is amazing if you want to add your own functionality.
-
What are some of your favorite eye candy plugins?
lir.nvim, file manager with a simple interface and support for floating windows.
-
Using NerdTree-like file explore does not feel fast enough.
You should try lir.nvim it is a file explorer kinda like dirvish, I use both, lir for file management and NvimTree for a quick overview of the project
- Any plugin that gives me a floating file manager? I just need it to do operations like move, rename, copy and delete
-
What are your prized/favorite lua functions?
