vim-dirvish VS telescope.nvim

It is cool but not unique. vim-dirvish has existed for Vim since a long time.

vin-dirvish fits your requirements.

I use vim-dirvish(you probably want to pair this with vim-enunch), it's a more minimal version of Netrw.

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.

vim-dirvish (great NetRW alternative)

file managers or project/directory viewer

vim-dirvish

There's also a minimal alternative if you're interested lir.nvim. Although I still use vim-dirvish because it meets all my needs.

I use dirvish, but netrw is often sufficient

for telescope.nvim (optional) live grep: ripgrep find files: fd

Here we have a configuration for telescope.nvim, a very popular fuzzy finder.

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

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

Just landed on Telescope.nvim: https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim/pull/2572

This extension allows you to use the power of ast-grep to find code patterns in your editor, using the familiar and awesome interface of telescope.nvim.

telescope.nvim

My solution is using telescope.nvim with lsp extension, and map the vim.lsp.buf.definition keybinding to telescope one https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim
