dired.nvim

A file browser inspired from Emacs Dired for neovim.

Installation

Requires Neovim 0.6 or higher.

use {
    "X3eRo0/dired.nvim",
    requires = "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
    config = function()
        require("dired").setup {
            path_separator = "/",
            show_banner = false,
            show_hidden = true,
            show_dot_dirs = true,
            show_colors = true,
        }
    end
}

Setup

You can require this plugin and use it like this.

require("dired").setup {
    path_separator = "/",
    show_banner = false,
    show_hidden = true
}

Usage

Run the command :Dired to open a buffer for your current directory. Press - in any buffer to open a directory buffer for its parent. Editing a directory will also open up a buffer, overriding Netrw.

Inside a directory buffer, there are the following keybindings:

• <CR>: Open the file or directory at the cursor.
• d: Create new directories and files.
• D: Delete a directories or files.
• R: Rename a directories or files.
• -: Open parent directory.
• .: Toggle show_hidden.
• ,: Change sort_order.
• c: Toggle colors

TODO

1. Get directory listing from "ls" dired mode.
2. Allow moving and copying of files.
3. Allow changing file permissions.
