Why isn't using sidebars to display information more popular?

• sidebar.nvim

  7 655 5.0 Lua

  A generic and modular lua sidebar for Neovim

  

  A file tree doesn't really provide me with any important information and I think that's the case with most people. I looked for a plugin that would help me build my own sidebar and I discovered sidebar.nvim. It isn't the most actively developed plugin out there, but I haven't ran into any issues either. The plugin basically allows users to build a sidebar similar to how lualine builds statuslines.

• alpha-nvim

  19 1,098 7.1 Lua

  a lua powered greeter like vim-startify / dashboard-nvim

  i experimented with generalizing the code for https://github.com/goolord/alpha-nvim for the express purpose of writing sidebars / fuzzy finders etc with the ui builder dsl here https://github.com/goolord/gamma-ui-nvim but I never got around to fleshing it out.

  I like sometimes having the file-overview-thing like https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.nvim/blob/main/readmes/mini-map.md

• no-neck-pain.nvim

  14 254 10.0 Lua

  ☕ Dead simple plugin to center the currently focused buffer to the middle of the screen.

  Great point, it’s exactly why I added a scratchpad feature to https://github.com/shortcuts/no-neck-pain.nvim to leverage the empty side buffers as scratch pads (https://github.com/shortcuts/no-neck-pain.nvim/wiki/Showcase#side-buffer-as-scratch-pad)

• neovim

  566 66,107 10.0 Vim Script

  There's a request related to this from a while ago, but there hasn't been any progress: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/12925
