This is a neovim plugin for the lf file manager.
It is very similar to lf.vim, except for that this is written in Lua.
NOTE: This plugin uses toggleterm.nvim.
-- Sample configuration is supplied
use({
"lmburns/lf.nvim",
config = function()
-- This feature will not work if the plugin is lazy-loaded

-- Equivalent
vim.keymap.set("n", "<M-o>", "<Cmd>lua require('lf').start()<CR>", {noremap = true})
vim.keymap.set("n", "<M-o>", "<Cmd>Lf<CR>", {noremap = true})Another option is to use vim.keymap.set, which requires nvim 0.7.0 or higher. This doesn't require local
variables and would allow customization of the program.
vim.keymap.set(
"n",
"<mapping>",
function()
require("lf").start(
-- nil, -- this is the path to open Lf (nil means CWD)
-- this argument is optional see `.start` below
{
-- Pass options (if any) that you would like
dir = "", -- directory where `lf` starts ('gwd' is git-working-directory)
direction = "float", -- window type: float horizontal vertical
border = "double", -- border kind: single double shadow curved
height = 0.80, -- height of the *floating* window
width = 0.85, -- width of the *floating* window
mappings = true, -- whether terminal buffer mapping is enabled
})
end,
{noremap = true}
)There is a command that does basically the exact same thing :Lf. This command takes one optional argument,
which is a directory for lf to start in.
This function is able to take two arguments. The first is the path (string), and the second is configuration
options (table). If there is only one argument and it is a table, this will be treated as configuration
options and lf will open in the current directory. The following are all valid:
require('lf').start({border = "rounded"}) -- opens in CWD with rounded borders
require('lf').start(nil, {border = "rounded"}) -- opens in CWD with rounded borders
require('lf').start("~/.config") -- opens in `~/.config` with either `.setup()` or default options
require('lf').start("~/.config", nil) -- opens in `~/.config` with either `.setup()` or default options
require('lf').start(nil, nil) -- opens in CWD with either `.setup()` or default options
require('lf').start() -- opens in CWD with either `.setup()` or default options
require('lf').start("~/.config", {border = "rounded"}) -- opens in `~/.config` with rounded bordersThe highlight groups that I know for sure work are the ones mentioned above (Normal, NormalFloat, FloatBorder). These are passed to toggleterm, and there is a plan in the future to make these Lf's own groups. For now, a one-shot way to change the color of the border of the terminal is the following:
:lua require("lf").start({highlights = {FloatBorder = {guifg = "#819C3B"}}})These are various ways to open the wanted file(s). The process works by creating a Neovim mapping to send
lf a command to manually open the file. The available commands are anything that can open a file in Vim.
See tabpage.txt and windows.txt
The configuration option layout_mapping is the key-mapping that will cycle through the window views.
Once the last view is reached, the cycle is restarted.
If you do not have the nightly version of nvim, then the mappings field can be set to false.
Otherwise, a notification will be displayed saying that you are not allowed to use them.
require("lf").start({mappings = false})The only configurable environment variable is g:lf_netrw, which can be set to 1 or true to replace netrw.
Also, note that this option will not work if lf is lazy-loaded.
The mappings that are listed in the setup call above are the default bindings.
<C-t>=tabedit<C-x>=split<C-v>=vsplit<C-o>=tab drop(<r-o>is also suggested)<M-u>= resize the floating window
The autocmd LfTermEnter is fired when the terminal buffer first opens
- Set custom filetype
-
:LfTogglecommand - Save previous size when terminal is closed, so it is restored on open
- Set Lualine to
Lftitle - Fix weird wrapping error that occurs every so often when moving down a list of files
