vim-eunuch VS nvim-tree.lua

Honorable mention : vim-eunch has this feature plus many other convenience commands.

I use eunuch.vim mostly by executing :Rename or :Remove or :Move. I also use this plugin whenever I have to manipulate multiple files in the working directory using :Cfind -name '*.lua' -type f which puts all .lua files in the cwd in the quickfix list then doing something like :cfdo lua vim.lsp.buf.format() to format all files.

If you are avoiding vim plugins due to external, non-standard dependencies (e.g. fzf), then you might be pleased to know that some plugins can solve this problem with standard linux utilities, like :Cfind and :Lfind from tpope/vim-eunuch which use the find linux utility.

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

Try vim-eunuch lua {'tpope/vim-eunuch', config = function () vim.cmd('cnoreabbrev rename Rename') --:rgb + to trigger end},

I use netrw but I do moving, renaming etc with vim-eunuch and have done for about ten years. It just works how you'd expect it to.

You might want to look into :Delete from tpope's vim-eunuch, along with wrappers for mkdir, chmod, etc.

I did try: 1. Using the vim file explorer move command: 1. It does not implement autocomplete 1. I cannot use the vim movement shortcuts to move in the path, so I need to use the arrow keys to get before the file name. (dealbreaker) 1. It does not rename the buffer 1. Using eunuch plugin Move command: https://github.com/tpope/vim-eunuch 1. Relative paths were dependent on doing a change directory command first. That is fine but bothersome. 1. Required me to write the filename manually if I used the autocomplete. I did not find an efficient way to paste the current file name (without the path) to a command argument. 1. All in all quite close but still not good enough for me.

This works for installing the other plugins. But I can't seem to access nvim-tree. According to the website (https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua), I should be able enter :NvimTreeOpen in neovim, but I get "Not an editor command: NvimTreeOpen." Any ideas?

For splitting the terminal you could try either toggleterm or tmux. If you want to send things from one tmux pane to another, then you can use slime. For a toggle-able filetree, you can use nvim tree.

(Neovim) nvim-tree

Also you can use your file browser such as neo-tree, nvim-tree, or even netrw.

I have almost finished customize nvim tree to equal bg colors. Can't resolve only when nvtree out of focus. What of paramets i should write? I tryied from this https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua/blob/master/doc/nvim-tree-lua.txt but nothing

I was having an issue with my colorscheme Sonokai and I found my issue

Personally I use will133/vim-dirdiff plugin, but it is pretty troublesome as I need to invoke `:DirDiff /path/to/dir1 /path/to/some/dir2`. What would be ideal is to extend nvim-tree, to be able to mark two directories (in similar manner as it has bookmarks) and then execute `:DirDiff` against those marked directories, but I'm not that familiar with Lua yet to write that. ;/

The open_on_setup feature apparently has been removed in nvim-tree.lua https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua/wiki/Open-At-Startup. Look at this wiki page where you can get all the necessary helpful information there about how to configure open_on_setup.

My tabstop is changing from 4 to 8 everytime that I open a file using nvim-tree https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua
