  • Rnvimr - Ranger module that I absolutely love and use whenever I need to interact with the file system

  • dirbuf.nvim

    A file manager for Neovim which lets you edit your filesystem like you edit text

  • https://github.com/elihunter173/dirbuf.nvim, it's basically netrw done right.

  • nnn.nvim

    File manager for Neovim powered by nnn.

  • nnn (https://github.com/jarun/nnn) via https://github.com/luukvbaal/nnn.nvim It's a very similar solution to telescope-file-browser but since nnn is a standalone filemanager, I can use the same file explorer inside and outside Neovim

  • carbon.nvim

    The simple directory tree viewer for Neovim written in Lua.

  • I use Carbon.nvim. I really enjoy it.

  • neo-tree.nvim

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

  • netrw.nvim

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

  • netrw technically via netrw.nvim, recently converted from Dirvish.

  • ranger.vim

    Ranger integration in vim and neovim

  • 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.

  • nvim-ide

    A full featured IDE layer for Neovim. Heavily inspired by VSCode.

  • ldelossa/nvim-ide

  • xplr.vim

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

  • xplr.vim

  • nnn

    n³ The unorthodox terminal file manager

  • nnn (https://github.com/jarun/nnn) via https://github.com/luukvbaal/nnn.nvim It's a very similar solution to telescope-file-browser but since nnn is a standalone filemanager, I can use the same file explorer inside and outside Neovim
