• nerdtree

  77 19,262 7.2 Vim Script

  A tree explorer plugin for vim.

  

Hi Rajrup. First, welcome! Vim has a steep learning curve but, given the efficiencies in the physical aspect of coding, it is worth it. So sick with it! You may want to start out with neovim, that distribution makes configuration a lot easier. For the sidebar file manager, look at nerdtree. I would also recommend airline which adds a useful status bar to the editor. For editing multiple files, I use tabs and use key binding to switch between tabs. I use a lot of custom key bindings. I bind few multi key stroke commands to the G keys, such as write file and switching tabs. I hope this helps!

• LunarVim

  272 17,463 7.6 Lua

  🌙 LunarVim is an IDE layer for Neovim. Completely free and community driven.

  

I recommend the chisatmachine's neovim plugin guide to see if any of the plugins are the things, that you might miss from other editors. I've followed the guide to setup my neovim and it made me understand basics of plugin installation, which I can now manage on my own. I've debloated my setup since and use vim as my main editor, but there is still a long way ahead of me too.
