coc-explorer review
Recently I found out coc-explorer
has float mode, which is really useful.
In case you don't know what is it, coc-explorer
is a file explorer for neovim, but I think it could work with normal vim despite I didn't test.
First step, of course, install it , please go to the GitHub doc.
Then add a preset into coc-settings.json
(you can open it by using :CocConfig
command.)
"explorer.presets": {
"preset-name-here": {
"position": "floating",
"floating-position": "center",
"floating-width": 100,
"content-width": -10,
"floating-height": -5,
"open-action-strategy": "sourceWindow"
}
}
`
After that you can use it (in .vimrc):
nmap <c-e> :CocCommand explorer --preset preset-name-here<CR>
Note that you can change preset-name-here
with anything you want. In my settings, I have 2 presets, one named float
and one named static
. It's easier to debug in the future.
Now you can press control
+ e
to open the file explorer, it should float on top of everything.
Happy vimming :)
