zen-mode.nvim VS nvim-tree.lua

I use this sometimes and it's pretty nice: https://github.com/folke/zen-mode.nvim

This is super cool, I've been using https://github.com/folke/zen-mode.nvim for some time but what caught my attention were the side buffers for notes. I took a look at your configuration options and was wondering if you had thought about configuring the width by a fraction of the total view width?

I went from https://github.com/junegunn/goyo.vim to https://github.com/folke/zen-mode.nvim and now this

You could define yourself a variable whenever :ZenMode is toggled and check for said variable (or have a look here if anything is returned by the function is_open()).

Exactly right! I use Arch Linux with i3. My terminal emulators are alacritty and cool-retro-term, depending on the mood. For writing I use neovim with the zen-mode plugin.

However, I want to style this a bit more maybe have a better-looking tree on startup. One of the solutions I could think of is to open the nvim-tree in zen-mode. This ends up looking like this.

folke/zen-mode.nvim - Distraction-free mode

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
