vim-devicons VS vim-multiple-cursors

Hello guys I made a devicons theme for treemacs. This is inspired by nvim-web-devicons and vim-devicons. Here are some screenshots:

It uses plugins called renderer to change how the file tree is renderer and it has two plugins for render icons in the tree that support lambdalisue/nerdfont.vim and ryanoasis/vim-devicons, but it lacked support for nvim-web-devicons.

Better yet, if you're using the vim-devicons plugin, use the patched version at Nerd Fonts that include the icons. The rest of the post follows as equal.

Do you have vim-devicons installed (Assuming you're using nerdtree)?

Okay, that's a start. Based on a quick look through that repo, maybe you're running into this issue? I'm not sure why that would cause such a huge delay tho. Either way, I'd try adding one of the lines below to your config file:

I am not able to get vem-tabline to show the file icons in the tabs(there are only tab numbers that are displayed), with nvim, and neovide. I have installed vim-devicons, and the icons do show up in my statusline, for which I am using lightline. I have also installed a Nerd Font, so I don't know where I am going wrong. Could someone help me with this?

In case you want to select multiple variables and change those all at once, you can check out https://github.com/terryma/vim-multiple-cursors.

You want something like this plugin I'm guessing. My use doesn't need that so I've never used it before.

To be precise I'm talking about something like this plugin does

By the way this is probably my favorite nvim plugin simply because it solves part of this problem https://github.com/terryma/vim-multiple-cursors. However it doesnt help with the more complex examples, like the one I mentioned above.

There's a brilliant plugin that emulates sublime's way of doing it. https://github.com/terryma/vim-multiple-cursors There's probably a way to do it using vim's default behaivour but this is easy and it works well for me.
