Minimal file explorer for Neovim.

Using vim-plug

Plug 'hachy/nvf.nvim'

Add this to your init.lua

require("nvf").setup({})

or init.vim

lua require("nvf").setup({})

• :Nvf Open the default explorer. If there is another explorer in the window, open it first.

• :NvfNew Open another explorer that is not synchronized with the default.

This is the recommended keymap.

vim.keymap.set("n", "<Space>f", "<Cmd>Nvf<CR>")

• q : Quit the buffer
• l : Open a file or directory under the cursor
• h : Move to the parent directory
• t : Expand or collapse tree
• ^ : Move to current working directory
• ~ : Move to home directory
• . : Toggle visibility of hidden files
• N : Add a file
• K : Add a directory
• R : Rename
• D : Delete
• c : Copy
• p : Paste
• <Tab> : Open a brand new buffer

require("nvf").setup {
  show_hidden_files = false,
  mappings = {
    quit = "q",
    open = "l",
    up = "h",
    expand_or_collapse = "t",
    cwd = "^",
    home = "~",
    toggle_hidden_files = ".",
    create_file = "N",
    create_directory = "K",
    rename = "R",
    delete = "D",
    copy = "c",
    paste = "p",
    brand_new_buffer = "<Tab>",
  },
}
