vimrc VS nnn.vim

there are several vimrc files: https://github.com/amix/vimrc

Vim with https://github.com/amix/vimrc

If you want my five cents, then I would say that using something like https://github.com/amix/vimrc without fully understanding the consequences, is a bad idea. And instead you should focus on the basics of vim, vimtutor followed by :h user-manual.

text editors for writing files. Recommended: install plugins ultimate vim to make vim more powerful and colorful.

Archcraft's vim uses this vimrc which adds a lot of plugins including some for improving appearance, so it's more suited for a terminal emulator than a tty.

I'm basically using this as a base with some tweaks :)

Or if you want something very minimal, just for easier editing experience when connected to server, try just a simple preconfigured vimrc file, where you can comment and uncomment stuff that you might need. I use amix as base for my own vimrc file.

git clone https://github.com/amix/vimrc.git ~/.vim_runtime

So these days I just use https://github.com/mcchrish/nnn.vim

Yeah I'm not sure what the point is of such a minimal plugin when nnn.nvim and nnn.vim already exist which both do do that, and more.

file managers or project/directory viewer

nnn with nnn.vim because I'm lazy and I already use nnn on its own.

Created this plugin because I've switched from Ranger to xplr.nvim as my daily driver and wanted a cleaner interaction between the 2 programs. I like to sometimes use my file manager within neovim, and would prefer not to use shell to exchange data between them. Because xplr now uses LuaJit, pynvim/python isn't needed etc (like other msgpack plugins) It aims to support the "regular" features (opening files in nvim, switch cwd etc) like in rnvimr or nnn.vim

You can try nnn.vim, a vim-ish file picker as well as fast and full-featured file manager within vim.

You'll invoke it as a floating window. See nnn.vm for usage.
