I like mini.files: it does EXCTLY what oil does (I mapped it to - too) PLUS it gives better visual context of where you’re at in new/unfamiliar projects by listing all the parent directories from the current file up to cwd / project root. It’s cool that both plugins have the same navigation and file operations patterns!
I switched back and forth a while, but it really clicked when I mapped oil to back space, so navigation is the same as Vimwiki. I use Vimwiki a lot and now navigating between files feels the same as navigating between links in my notes. It feels great to me.
File management tools and text editors are trying to solve the same problem: batch editing of text. the text just happens to be file paths in the case of file management. so if you have a powerful text editor, you automatically have a powerful file manager that's the genius insight oil.nvim and others relies on
IDK if Oil has preview options or not, didn't use it for a long time. If it did then I'll dump miniFiles in no time. Also Telescope-File-Manager is nice with it's TJ vibes.
Hi, huge fan and new to neovim. I think it is kind of difficult to find an updated guide for a golang specific setup, or in general, what are best practices when setting up neovim for specific languages?
I also like nvimtree but I feel like I'm slow with it. I switched to oil recently and I'm finding myself using fzf and spelunk more often. Hopefully overtime I'll actually build better habits. No clue though, it could all be in my head and I'm not saving any time lol. I find myself struggling to remember file names quickly which is the biggest thing holding me back from fzf.
I tried oil, and it's excellent, but I'll stick with mini.files, basically the same functionality, and it uses h-j-k-l to navigate OOTB. Also, I'm using more plugins from mini library, so it fits better IMO.
What is your proposed method of file navigation in neovim? I use telescope but it can become cumbersome to keep having to fuzzy find when I am switching between 3 files.
@moussaadem7933 dired was originally made in 1974, and was integrated into emacs in the 80s. I have no idea what pipe rename is but seems nascent compared to the OGs
you start with s mix of fuzzy finding and using a file manager (such as oil.nvim). the more familiar you are with the code, the more you rely on the fuzzy finder

same, it is just a better version ...i for some reason have some lag when saving buffer with oil, in mini.files its always instant
YOU ARE SO WELCOME FOR BEING THERE LIL BRO
Using ONLY fuzzy finder for navigation would be great, if only I didn't struggle to remember how named things...
Am i the only one who doesn’t wanna move away from NvimTree😅
No, there's lots of ppl with bad opinions on the internet 🤣 🤣
@😬🤣🤣🤣

nvimtree has two benefits: shift the code to the middle, and my colleagues can see where am I when I share my screen

I'm missing something, when you made video for floating terminal
Hi teej, please one of these days, I'd love if you talk about debugging.
+1
I am a huge fan of oil.nvim, we need more buffer first approaches. Wait... "Everything is a buffer"... this reminds me of something.
nice, been using it for a while now
Same

Hate the trees, love the oil

wow, was literally thinking about something like emacs Dired
Looks really good, I gonna swap neotree for this

Oil seems awesome. I still use nvimtree, but it would be awesome if I can open oil on the side.

Nice. I use a combination of yazi.nvim and mini.files. I don’t remember why I ditched Oil
mini.files and many other mini.nvim components are incredible.
That may be quite usefull 🤔
3:10 wouldn't :e %:h do the same?
Trigger warning: i use neotree and oil... 90% oil, 10% neotree. How you like them apples internet man.
Without using a file tree, what's your typical workflow for getting used to the directory structure of a larger code base?
Telescope..he built it.

tabs or start using the buffer list
Harpoon
Like others said, you can fuzzy find through an open buffer list, or my preferred versionis to use ctrl O and ctrl I with marks for such a use case.
Big fan of oil. Epic
Seems like the creator took the idea from dired (flle manager inside emacs). Very nice tho!
there are a lot of projects doing the same thing, there's pipe-rename for example.
I assume they just converged to the same solution

Real
Booted my machine just to install it.
Oil.nvim is for those stills stuck on phossil phuels?!?
I use yazi
But thanks for the video
LETS GO TJ! always looking forward to this series every day 💪 these be my real christmas presents this year
Is it better than neotree? 😢
does fuzzy finder really work for people onboarding into a new company with a messy codebase?

I use windows explorer
Always asking is always bad. Just sudo
Nobody gives a good cahoots where you put your files,OR how you get them there

False
True
NOT very cool!
Very cool
lmao tf is your problem 😂
hate to be that guy on the internet, but, objectively, you're wrong
NOT super cool either!
