Basically I want to be able to open files from the Fern drawer browser into new splits. I can see that the commands I want exist here: https://github.com/lambdalisue/fern.vim/wiki/Mappings and look like "open:above" and similar. How do I enter these commands?

[Plugin] ranger.nvim
This plugin is unique from the other alternatives such as ranger.vim and rnvimr in that my plugin has no dependencies besides ‘ranger’ and written in 100% lua.
- New file explorer: oil.nvim, a modern take on vim-vinegar/vidir
- What file explorer do you use?
- Just discovered a Ranger key binding...
-
Project & File navigation
ranger.vim that integrates the file explorer ranger into vim. (Superior to NERDTree IMHO)
-
Which file browser do you use ?
ranger, I got so used to using it and invested in learning many of its features that I can navigate around quite fast. I'm using francoiscabrol/ranger.vim but I have been meaning to check out kevinhwang91/rnvimr. I'm even using a fork which supports coloured icons.
- What is the native alternative to nerdtree?
-
Typescript *.TS files are not opened but executed
I Installed Ranger plugin (https://github.com/francoiscabrol/ranger.vim) for File exploring and I experienced a very stupid problem. When I navigate and select a Typescript file to open, instead of being opened as text vim Nvim it opens as executable. At first it was VLC media player and now when I changed to iTerm it just reopens it in a separate window. How can I fix it ?
-
How are you not using a tree explorer?
