*nvim-tree.lua* A file explorer written in lua Minimum version of neovim: 0.6.0 Author: Yazdani Kiyan ============================================================================== INTRODUCTION *nvim-tree-introduction* This file explorer requires `neovim >= 0.6.0` ============================================================================== QUICK START *nvim-tree-quickstart* open the tree with :NvimTreeToggle > nnoremap :NvimTreeToggle lua require 'nvim-tree'.toggle() < ============================================================================== COMMANDS *nvim-tree-commands* |:NvimTreeOpen| *:NvimTreeOpen* opens the tree. Takes an optional path argument. |:NvimTreeClose| *:NvimTreeClose* closes the tree |:NvimTreeToggle| *:NvimTreeToggle* open or close the tree |:NvimTreeFocus| *:NvimTreeFocus* open the tree if it is closed, and then focus on the tree |:NvimTreeRefresh| *:NvimTreeRefresh* refresh the tree |:NvimTreeFindFile| *:NvimTreeFindFile* The command will change the cursor in the tree for the current bufname. It will also open the leafs of the tree leading to the file in the buffer (if you opened a file with something else than the NvimTree, like `fzf` or `:split`) |:NvimTreeFindFileToggle| *:NvimTreeFindFileToggle* close the tree or change the cursor in the tree for the current bufname, similar to combination of |:NvimTreeToggle| and |:NvimTreeFindFile| |:NvimTreeClipboard| *:NvimTreeClipboard* Print clipboard content for both cut and copy |:NvimTreeResize| *:NvimTreeResize* Resize the NvimTree window to the given size. Example: `:NvimTreeResize 50` resizes the window to the width of 50. If the size starts with "+" or "-" it adds or removes the given value to the current window width. Example `:NvimTreeResize -20` removes the value 20 from the current width. And `:NvimTreeResize +20` adds the value 20 to the current width. |:NvimTreeCollapse| *:NvimTreeCollapse* Collapses the nvim-tree recursively. |:NvimTreeCollapseKeepBuffers| *:NvimTreeCollapseKeepBuffers* Collapses the nvim-tree recursively, but keep the directories open, which are used in an open buffer. ============================================================================== SETUP *nvim-tree.setup* To configure the tree (and make it runnable), you should call the setup function. Values may be functions. Warning: this may result in unexpected behaviour. > require("nvim-tree").setup { -- BEGIN_DEFAULT_OPTS auto_reload_on_write = true, disable_netrw = false, hijack_cursor = false, hijack_netrw = true, hijack_unnamed_buffer_when_opening = false, ignore_buffer_on_setup = false, open_on_setup = false, open_on_setup_file = false, open_on_tab = false, sort_by = "name", update_cwd = false, view = { width = 30, height = 30, hide_root_folder = false, side = "left", preserve_window_proportions = false, number = false, relativenumber = false, signcolumn = "yes", mappings = { custom_only = false, list = { -- user mappings go here }, }, }, renderer = { indent_markers = { enable = false, icons = { corner = "└ ", edge = "│ ", none = " ", }, }, icons = { webdev_colors = true, git_placement = "before", } }, hijack_directories = { enable = true, auto_open = true, }, update_focused_file = { enable = false, update_cwd = false, ignore_list = {}, }, ignore_ft_on_setup = {}, system_open = { cmd = "", args = {}, }, diagnostics = { enable = false, show_on_dirs = false, icons = { hint = "", info = "", warning = "", error = "", }, }, filters = { dotfiles = false, custom = {}, exclude = {}, }, git = { enable = true, ignore = true, timeout = 400, }, actions = { use_system_clipboard = true, change_dir = { enable = true, global = false, restrict_above_cwd = false, }, open_file = { quit_on_open = false, resize_window = false, window_picker = { enable = true, chars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890", exclude = { filetype = { "notify", "packer", "qf", "diff", "fugitive", "fugitiveblame" }, buftype = { "nofile", "terminal", "help" }, }, }, }, }, trash = { cmd = "trash", require_confirm = true, }, log = { enable = false, truncate = false, types = { all = false, config = false, copy_paste = false, diagnostics = false, git = false, profile = false, }, }, } -- END_DEFAULT_OPTS < As options are currently being migrated, configuration of global options in |nvim-tree-options| should be done BEFORE the setup call. Here is a list of the options available in the setup call: *nvim-tree.disable_netrw* - |disable_netrw|: completely disable netrw type: `boolean` default: `false` *nvim-tree.hijack_netrw* - |hijack_netrw|: hijack netrw windows (overriden if |disable_netrw| is `true`) type: `boolean` default: `true` *nvim-tree.open_on_setup* - |open_on_setup|: will automatically open the tree when running setup if startup buffer is a directory, is empty or is unnamed. nvim-tree window will be focused. type: `boolean` default: `false` *nvim-tree.open_on_setup_file* - |open_on_setup_file|: will automatically open the tree when running setup if startup buffer is a file.

If you wish to customize, you can override these groups: - `NvimTreeLspDiagnosticsError` - `NvimTreeLspDiagnosticsWarning` - `NvimTreeLspDiagnosticsInformation` - `NvimTreeLspDiagnosticsHint` *nvim-tree.git* - |git|: git integration with icons and colors - |git.enable|: enable / disable the feature type: `boolean` default: `true` - |git.ignore|: ignore files based on `.gitignore` Toggle via the `toggle_git_ignored` action, default mapping `I`. type: `boolean` default: `true` - |git.timeout|: kills the git process after some time if it takes too long type: `number` default: `400` (ms) You will still need to configure `g:nvim_tree_show_icons.git` or `g:nvim_tree_git_hl` to be able to see things in the tree. This will be changed in the future versions. The configurable timeout will kill the current process and so disable the git integration for the project that takes too long. The git integration is blocking, so if your timeout is too long (like not in milliseconds but a few seconds), it will not render anything until the git process returned the data. *nvim-tree.view* - |view|: window / buffer setup - |view.hide_root_folder|: hide the path of the current working directory on top of the tree type: `boolean` default: `false` - |view.width|: width of the window, can be either a `%` string or a number representing columns.

The following configuration can disable icons per type: > let g:nvim_tree_show_icons = { \ 'git': 1, \ 'folders': 1, \ 'files': 1, \ 'folder_arrows': 1, \} Can be one of `1` and `0` for each key. By default the tree will try to render the icons. The `files` key can only work if `nvim-web-devicons` is installed and in your |runtimepath| (https://github.com/kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons) if folder is 1, you can also set `folder_arrows = 1` to show small arrows next to the folder icons but this will not work when you set |renderer.indent_markers.enable| (because of UI conflict). |g:nvim_tree_highlight_opened_files| *g:nvim_tree_highlight_opened_files* Highlight icons and/or names for opened files and directories Default is 0 Must be: 0: No highlight 1: Enable highligting for folders and file icons only. 2: Enable highligting for folders and file names only. 3: Enable highligting for folders and both file icons and names. |g:nvim_tree_icons| *g:nvim_tree_icons* You can set icons for: - The git status. - The default icon that shows when no icon is found for a file or if you are not using icons. - Symlinks. If an icon is not provided, the `default` icon is used. > let g:nvim_tree_icons = { \ 'default': "", \ 'symlink': "", \ 'git': { \ 'unstaged': "✗", \ 'staged': "✓", \ 'unmerged': "", \ 'renamed': "➜", \ 'untracked': "★", \ 'deleted': "", \ }, \ 'folder': { \ 'arrow_open': "", \ 'arrow_closed': "", \ 'default': "", \ 'open': "", \ 'empty': "", \ 'empty_open': "", \ 'symlink': "", \ 'symlink_open': "", \ }, \ 'lsp': { \ 'hint': "", \ 'info': "", \ 'warning': "", \ 'error': "", \ } \ } |g:nvim_tree_git_hl| *g:nvim_tree_git_hl* You can enable file highlight for git attributes by setting this property. This can be used with or without the icons. |g:nvim_tree_root_folder_modifier| *g:nvim_tree_root_folder_modifier* In what format to show root folder. See `:help filename-modifiers` for available options. Default is `:~` |g:nvim_tree_add_trailing| *g:nvim_tree_add_trailing* Can be 0 or 1. When 1, appends a trailing slash to folder names. 0 by default. |g:nvim_tree_group_empty| *g:nvim_tree_group_empty* Can be 0 or 1. When 1, folders that contain only one folder are grouped together. 0 by default. |g:nvim_tree_special_files| *g:nvim_tree_special_files* A list of filenames that gets highlighted with `NvimTreeSpecialFile`. default table is > { ["Cargo.toml"] = true, Makefile = true, ["README.md"] = true, ["readme.md"] = true, } < |g:nvim_tree_icon_padding| *g:nvim_tree_icon_padding* One space by default, used for rendering the space between the icon and the filename. Use with caution, it could break rendering if you set an empty string depending on your font. |g:nvim_tree_symlink_arrow| *g:nvim_tree_symlink_arrow* Defaults to ' ➛ '. Used as a separator between symlinks' source and target. |g:nvim_tree_respect_buf_cwd| *g:nvim_tree_respect_buf_cwd* Can be 0 or 1. 0 by default. Will change cwd of nvim-tree to that of new buffer's when opening nvim-tree. |g:nvim_tree_create_in_closed_folder| *g:nvim_tree_create_in_closed_folder* Can be 0 or 1. 0 by default. Creating a file when the cursor is on a closed folder will set the path to be inside the closed folder when 1, and on the parent folder when 0. ============================================================================== INFORMATIONS *nvim-tree-info* |Mappings| *nvim-tree-mappings* - type `g?` to see the help UI with keybindings - move around like in any vim buffer - `` on the root folder will cd in the above directory - typing will cd in the directory under the cursor - typing will close current opened directory or parent - typing `P` will move cursor to the parent directory - type `a` to add a file - type `r` to rename a file - type `` to rename a file and omit the filename on input - type `x` to add/remove file/directory to cut clipboard - type `c` to add/remove file/directory to copy clipboard - type `p` to paste from clipboard.

Uses other type of icons so a good font support is recommended. If the tree renders weird glyphs, install the correct fonts. Syntax highlighting uses g:terminal_color_ from colorschemes, fallbacks to ugly colors otherwise. Git integration tells when a file is: - ✗ unstaged or folder is dirty - ✓ staged - ★ new file - ✓ ✗ partially staged - ✓ ★ new file staged - ✓ ★ ✗ new file staged and has unstaged modifications - ═ merging - ➜ renamed Mouse support defined in |KeyBindings| ============================================================================== HIGHLIGHT GROUPS *nvim-tree-highlight* |nvim_tree_highlight| *nvim_tree_highlight* All the following highlight groups can be configured by hand. Aside from `NvimTreeWindowPicker`, it is not advised to colorize the background of these groups. Example (in your `init.vim`): > highlight NvimTreeSymlink guifg=blue gui=bold,underline < You should have 'termguicolors' enabled, otherwise, colors will not be applied. NvimTreeSymlink NvimTreeFolderName NvimTreeRootFolder NvimTreeFolderIcon NvimTreeFileIcon NvimTreeEmptyFolderName NvimTreeOpenedFolderName NvimTreeExecFile NvimTreeOpenedFile NvimTreeSpecialFile NvimTreeImageFile NvimTreeIndentMarker LspDiagnosticsError LspDiagnosticsWarning LspDiagnosticsInformation LspDiagnosticsHint NvimTreeGitDirty NvimTreeGitStaged NvimTreeGitMerge NvimTreeGitRenamed NvimTreeGitNew NvimTreeGitDeleted NvimTreeWindowPicker There are also links to normal bindings to style the tree itself. NvimTreeNormal NvimTreeEndOfBuffer NvimTreeCursorLine NvimTreeVertSplit (deprecated, use NvimTreeWinSeparator) NvimTreeWinSeparator NvimTreeCursorColumn There are also links for file highlight with git properties These all link to there Git equivalent NvimTreeFileDirty NvimTreeFileStaged NvimTreeFileMerge NvimTreeFileRenamed NvimTreeFileNew NvimTreeFileDeleted ============================================================================== vinegar style *nvim-tree-vinegar* |nvim_tree_vinegar| *nvim_tree_vinegar* nvim-tree can behave like vinegar. To allow this, you will need to configure it in a specific way: - Use `require"nvim-tree".open_replacing_current_buffer()` instead of the default open command. You can easily implement a toggle using this too: > local function toggle_replace() local view = require"nvim-tree.view" if view.is_visible() then view.close() else require"nvim-tree".open_replacing_current_buffer() end end < - Use the `edit_in_place` action to edit files. It's bound to `` by default, vinegar uses ``. You can override this with: > require"nvim-tree".setup { view = { mappings = { list = { { key = "", action = "edit_in_place" } } } } } < Going up a dir is bound to `-` by default in nvim-tree which is identical to vinegar, no change is needed here. You'll also need to set |nvim-tree.hijack_netrw| to `true` during setup. A good functionnality to enable is |nvim-tree.hijack_directories|. ============================================================================== events *nvim-tree-events* |nvim_tree_events| *nvim_tree_events* nvim-tree will dispatch events whenever an action is made. These events can be subscribed to through handler functions. This allows for even further customization of nvim-tree. A handler for an event is just a function which receives one argument - the payload of the event. The payload is different for each event type. Refer to |nvim_tree_registering_handlers| for more information. < |nvim_tree_registering_handlers| *nvim_tree_registering_handlers* Handlers are registered by calling the `on_*` functions available in the `require('nvim-tree.events')` module. See |nvim-tree.events|. For example, registering a handler for when a node is renamed is done like this: > local events = require('nvim-tree.events') events.on_node_renamed(function(data) print("Node renamed from " .. data.old_name .. " to " .. data.new_name) end) ============================================================================== Lua module: nvim-tree.events *nvim-tree.events* *nvim-tree.events.on_nvim_tree_ready()* on_nvim_tree_ready({handler}) Registers a handler for when NvimTree has been initialized. Parameters: ~ {handler} `{function}` Handler function, with the signature `function()`. *nvim-tree.events.on_node_renamed()* on_node_renamed({handler}) Registers a handler for when a node is renamed. • Note: A node can either be a file or a directory. Parameters: ~ {handler} `{function}` Handler function, with the signature `function(payload)`. payload: ~ {old_name} `{string}` Absolute path to the old node location. {new_name} `{string}` Absolute path to the new node location. *nvim-tree.events.on_file_created()* on_file_created({handler}) Registers a handler for when a file is created.
