  • Rarely use shipped by default Netrw, but usually stick to commands (:e, :cd etc.) or CtrlP

  • xplr

    A hackable, minimal, fast TUI file explorer

  • I use xplr with plugin for exploring and fzf for searching.

  • xplr.vim

    Fork of https://github.com/mcchrish/nnn.vim modified to work with xplr. Until xplr has its own plugin.

  • I use xplr with plugin for exploring and fzf for searching.

  • vim-vinegar

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

  • I use vinegar which is just a few niceties for netrw, basically. I don't have to jump around between files too often for what I do, so a fuzzyfinder or permanently displayed file tree aren't necessary for me. And when I am working on a project where I have to jump around between files a lot, I might just open the main ones up in gvim tabs.
