vim-clap VS vim-vinegar

I'm thrilled to share that the latest vim-clap has now integrated the tree-sitter highlighting into Vim and NeoVim. It's a PoC implementation and not extensively tested though, bugs are expected. Some early feedback is highly appreciated, and read more in this post!

It has been two years since I last posted about the update of vim-clap. A lot of features have been added to vim-clap since then, check out the CHANGELOG if you are interested. Today I want to share with you a feature that I want to support in vim-clap for quite a long time: the search syntax of fzf, which is powerful yet pretty handy in my opinion. Feel free to try #738 and leave some feedback.

Free free to test the PR #738 and leave some feedback.

I'll also take the occasion to recommend clap.vim, which is the picker I use. It's super cool, fast, and uses a rust backend for more intensive searches.

- https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim or https://github.com/liuchengxu/vim-clap for file navigation (I'm still deciding which one I will continue to use)

vim-clap supports filer so I can search for files in different directories outside my project.

(For me) New vimscript fuzzy finder I was unaware about: https://github.com/liuchengxu/vim-clap (the search field is a vim buffer which I loved)

I just recently got into the "plugin frenzy", and since I was already using netrw, I ignored all the tree-style options and just installed the tpope's vim-vinegar to extend it.

Netrw + vim-vinegar works for me. In conjunction with harpoon and a bufferline and maybe vim-eunuch, it works out pretty well

I think you might be looking for netrw (:Ex brings it up). It is the default file explorer and can be used in many cool ways. There are extensions for it, like (vim-vinegar, and :help netrw is your friend :)

Plain `netrw` with a few options changed and tpope's vim-vinegar for easy access

I use Vinegar but should try Oil. https://github.com/tpope/vim-vinegar

Hijacking netrw to prevent disruptive "project drawer" style plugins as mentioned in the vim-vinegar readme is important to me.

When you understand the default file explorer, you'll probably appreciate https://github.com/tpope/vim-vinegar

ThePrimeagen suggests pv as the mapping to see the folder, but - comes from me being used to https://github.com/tpope/vim-vinegar some time ago. Choose your's to your liking.

Netrw, vim’s built in file explorer is pretty solid if you’re looking to understand the topology of a project. I really like the pattern of browsing the file tree in the window pane where the file will open. vim vinegar is a great plugin for refining the netrw experience and making it a little more seamless. Takes a minute to learn the keybindings, but I find it much lighter and less intrusive than nerd tree or it’s offshoots.

This one is for the vinegar workflow enjoyers. Netrw is good enough for my needs but it was missing a bit of *bling*. This plugins adds basic icon supports and custom keymappings.
