does anyone know a I don't know module or extension for vim that jumps to a text based file browser. one that I can navigate with keys up/down, enter to open that file or drill into that folder, backspace to go up a folder maybe page up/down to flip through pages of files on the screen. I used to work with iseries and I miss that workflow for editing files through cli

:help netrw vim-vinegar for some netrw extras

I used netrw in the past but I switched to oil.nvim [1]. I highly recommend it. It lets you edit the your files and directories like a vim buffer. It also supports lsp rename which convenient. [1] https://github.com/stevearc/oil.nvim https://github.com/stevearc/oil.nvim

https://github.com/nvim-neo-tree/neo-tree.nvim https://github.com/nvim-neo-tree/neo-tree.nvim Is quite popular.

Netrw is quite good. Oil.nvim is by far the best if you're willing to monkey with a plugin.

I used to use neo-tree but at this point I've settled into using netrw which is the default file browser. Just open vim in a directory rather than a file and you will boot right into netrw. https://vonheikemen.github.io/devlog/tools/using-netrw-vim-builtin-file-explorer/ https://vonheikemen.github.io/devlog/tools/using-netrw-vim-b...

Oil is great: https://github.com/stevearc/oil.nvim https://github.com/stevearc/oil.nvim It just treats your file structure as a buffer

I switched from netrw to NERDtree because netrw had mysterious bugs on macOS and I wanted a consistent interface. I'm not in love with it, but it does what I want.

  I prefer to have nerdtree because it can be used like regular file explorer tree in an IDE. When screen sharing with a colleague who might be unfamiliar with vim, it is easy for them to help us navigate if they see a tree compared to the magic of ctrl-p/fzf fuzzy search based on their hints.
