  • telescope.nvim

    Find, Filter, Preview, Pick. All lua, all the time.

    I use nvim-tree as a file tree, telescope with find_files to quickly and fuzzy find files (although I'm considering switching to command-t as it's allegedly faster and has better sorting) and telescope-file-browser as a file browser itself. I also tend to use dirbuf.nvim as something alike emacs' dired. It works a bit poorly but gets the job done in most scenarios. I hope we get some real dired in neovim some time.

  • project.nvim

    The superior project management solution for neovim.

    Maybe something like Project would be what you are looking for. It has a good telescope integration as well.https://github.com/ahmedkhalf/project.nvim

  • ranger.vim

    Ranger integration in vim and neovim

    ranger, I got so used to using it and invested in learning many of its features that I can navigate around quite fast. I'm using francoiscabrol/ranger.vim but I have been meaning to check out kevinhwang91/rnvimr. I'm even using a fork which supports coloured icons.

  • lf.vim

  • hunter

    The fastest file manager in the galaxy!

    Yeah, that is unfortunately my experience too. There are ranger-like alternatives Hunter and lf. I have tried to switch a couple of times but my config for ranger is pretty heavily customised and I keep going back to it. I just mash ctrl-c if the previewer locks up the UI and it unlocks it.

  • lf

    Terminal file manager
