*nvim-tree.lua* A file explorer written in lua
Minimum version of neovim: 0.5.0
Author: Yazdani Kiyan <yazdani.kiyan@protonmail.com>
==============================================================================
INTRODUCTION *nvim-tree-introduction*
This file explorer requires `neovim >= 0.5.0`
==============================================================================
QUICK START *nvim-tree-quickstart*
open the tree with :NvimTreeToggle
>
nnoremap <C-n> :NvimTreeToggle<CR>
lua require 'nvim-tree'.toggle()
<
==============================================================================
COMMANDS *nvim-tree-commands*
|:NvimTreeOpen| *:NvimTreeOpen*
opens the tree
|: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.
==============================================================================
SETUP *nvim-tree.setup*
To configure the tree (and make it runnable), you should call the setup
function.

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: `true`

default: `true`
*nvim-tree.open_on_setup*
- |open_on_setup|: will automatically open the tree when running setup if current
buffer is a directory, is empty or is unnamed.
type: `boolean`
default: `false`
*nvim-tree.ignore_ft_on_setup*
- |ignore_ft_on_setup|: list of filetypes that will make |open_on_setup| not
open. You can use this option if you don't want the tree to open in some
scenarios (eg using vim startify).
type: `{string}`
default: `{}`
*nvim-tree.auto_close*
- |auto_close|: force closing neovim when the tree is the last window in the view.
type: `boolean`
default: `false`
*nvim-tree.open_on_tab*
- |open_on_tab|: opens the tree automatically when switching tabpage or opening a new
tabpage if the tree was previously open.
type: `boolean`
default: `false`
*nvim-tree.update_to_buf_dir*
- |update_to_buf_dir|: hijacks new directory buffers when they are opened (`:e dir`).
- |update_to_buf_dir.enable|: enable the feature. Disable this option if you
use vim-dirvish or dirbuf.nvim.
type: `boolean`
default: `true`
- |update_to_buf_dir.auto_open|: opens the tree if the tree was previously closed.
type: `boolean`
default: `true`
*nvim-tree.hijack_cursor*
- |hijack_cursor|: keeps the cursor on the first letter of the filename when
moving in the tree.
type: `boolean`
default: `false`
*nvim-tree.update_cwd*
- |update_cwd|: changes the tree root directory on `DirChanged` and refreshes
the tree.
type: `boolean`
default: `false`
*nvim-tree.update_focused_file*
- |update_focused_file|: update the focused file on `BufEnter`, un-collapses
the folders recursively until it finds the file
- |update_focused_file.enable|: enable this feature.
type: `boolean`
default: `false`
- |update_focused_file.update_cwd|: update the root directory of the tree to the one
of the folder containing the file if the file is not under the current root
directory. Only relevant when |update_focused_file.enable| is `true`
type: `boolean`
default: `false`
- |update_focused_file.ignore_list|: list of buffer names and filetypes that will not
update the root dir of the tree if the file isn't found under the current root
directory. Only relevant when |update_focused_file.update_cwd| is `true` and
|update_focused_file.enable| is `true`.
type: `{string}`
default: `{}`
*nvim-tree.system_open*
- |system_open|: configuration options for the system open command
- |system_open.cmd|: the command to run, leaving nil should work but
useful if you want to override the default command with another one.
type: `string`
default: `nil`
- |system_open.args|: the command arguments as a list
type: `{string}`
default: `{}`
*nvim-tree.diagnostics*
- |diagnostics|: show lsp diagnostics in the signcolumn

then show diagnostic in the parent directory
type: `boolean`
default: `false`
- |diagnostics.icons|: icons for diagnostic severity
type: `table`
default: `{ hint = "", info = "", warning = "", error = "" }`
`NOTE`: it will use the default diagnostic color groups to highlight the signs.
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`.
will add `ignored=matching` to the integration when `true`. Otherwise will
add `ignored=no` to the integration which can lead to better performance.
- |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.

default: `30`
- |view.side|: side of the tree, can be one of 'left' | 'right' | 'bottom' | 'top'
Note that bottom/top are not working correctly yet.
type: `string`
default: 'left'
- |view.auto_resize|: auto resize the tree after opening a file

default: false
- |view.number|: print the line number in front of each line.
type: `boolean`
default: false
- |view.relativenumber|: show the line number relative to the line with the
cursor in front of each line. If the option `view.number` is also `true`,
the number on the cursor line will be the line number instead of `0`.
type: `boolean`
default: false
- |view.signcolumn|: show diagnostic sign column. Value can be `"yes"`,
`"auto"`, `"no"`
type: `string`
default: `"yes"`
- |view.mappings|: configuration options for keymaps
- |view.mappings.custom_only|: will use only the provided user mappings and not the default
otherwise, extends the default mappings with the provided user mappings
type: `boolean`
default: false
- |view.mappings.list|: a list of keymaps that will extend or override the default keymaps

<
|Features| *nvim-tree-features*
File icons with vim-devicons.
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.

==============================================================================
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)
==============================================================================
