  • rnvimr

    Make Ranger running in a floating window to communicate with Neovim via RPC

  • chadtree for dealing with files in the current project & Rnvimr (which basically integrates Ranger) when I want to work with files all over the disk.

  • vim-dirvish

    Directory viewer for Vim :zap:

  • I use vim-dirvish(you probably want to pair this with vim-enunch), it's a more minimal version of Netrw.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

    Vifm is a file manager with curses interface, which provides Vim-like environment for managing objects within file systems, extended with some useful ideas from mutt.

  • lir.nvim

    Neovim file explorer

  • lir.nvim

  • chadtree

    File manager for Neovim. Better than NERDTree.

  • chadtree for dealing with files in the current project & Rnvimr (which basically integrates Ranger) when I want to work with files all over the disk.

  • neo-tree.nvim

    Neovim plugin to manage the file system and other tree like structures.

  • I like neo-tree.nvim it allows you to replace a couple more plugins.

  • vim-vinegar

    vinegar.vim: Combine with netrw to create a delicious salad dressing

  • I use Vinegar but should try Oil. https://github.com/tpope/vim-vinegar

  • flatten.nvim

    Open files and command output from wezterm, kitty, and neovim terminals in your current neovim instance

  • I don't. I use a terminal, and https://github.com/willothy/flatten.nvim

  • ddu-ui-filer

    File listing UI for ddu.vim

  • vim-eunuch

    eunuch.vim: Helpers for UNIX

  • I use vim-dirvish(you probably want to pair this with vim-enunch), it's a more minimal version of Netrw.

  • netrw.nvim

    It's not because we use netrw that we cannot have nice things!

  • I use netrw as well, and find it works pretty well. I do like adding fancy icons to it with this plugin; makes it look a bit nicer and more obvious that I'm not looking at a typical file buffer.

  • my_configs
