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.
-
Managing your files. How do you do it?
When you understand the default file explorer, you'll probably appreciate https://github.com/tpope/vim-vinegar
-
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.
vim-eunuch
-
Automatically make files with shebang executable using autocommands
Honorable mention : vim-eunch has this feature plus many other convenience commands.
-
Best way to manipulate files inside neovim?
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.
-
Why :find is so slow compared to vscode/sublime file search feature?
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.
-
Which file explorer do you use?
I use vim-dirvish(you probably want to pair this with vim-enunch), it's a more minimal version of Netrw.
- How can I rename (case sensitive) a buffer and reopen it?
-
Renaming current file
Try vim-eunuch lua {'tpope/vim-eunuch', config = function () vim.cmd('cnoreabbrev rename Rename') --:rgb + to trigger end},
-
Problems Moving Files with Netrw
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.
- what is your startup time?
-
What shell commands do you invoke a lot from vi?
You might want to look into :Delete from tpope's vim-eunuch, along with wrappers for mkdir, chmod, etc.
-
Move file open in window relative to files location?
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.
