I use the default file browser in vim (netrw). I know there are plugins that a lot of people like. Should I switch?
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.
-
Best way to manipulate files inside neovim?
Netrw + vim-vinegar works for me. In conjunction with harpoon and a bufferline and maybe vim-eunuch, it works out pretty well
-
main file explorer plugin replacement?
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 :)
-
What plugins do you use to manage work across multiple files?
Plain `netrw` with a few options changed and tpope's vim-vinegar for easy access

Which file explorer do you use?
I use Vinegar but should try Oil. https://github.com/tpope/vim-vinegar

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

Neovim config from scratch (Part I)
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.

Using neovim without a file tree plugin
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.
-
netrw.nvim - It's not because we use netrw that we cannot have nice things!
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.

One of the reasons I like fern.vim is that it provides window selector functionality out of the box as noted here.

How to use fern open/split commands from drawer.
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?
