Lua breaks nvim-4.x about tree.nvim HOT 3 CLOSED

I agree with your opinion. I may maintain a radical development attitude for two reasons:

1. This is my first nvim plugin. Maintaining compatibility is a burden for me because I generally use nvim-nightly build.
2. I converted VimL to Lua just for learning. The current Lua API of tree.nvim is still very rough. If you are a coc.nvim user and want stable file explorer, in fact, coc-explorer is a good plugin, and I admit that compared to coc-explorer, tree.nvim has small significant performance improvement.

Anyway, thanks for your feedback.

I tried coc-explorer. It's great but in my setup it is significantly slower than defx. When opening a large directory, even a simple cursor moving is slow.

For your reference, in my setup, opening a tree with about 24000 files

• defx took about 7 secs
• I haven't profile coc-explorer, but it definitely took more than 5secs, and as I said before, cursor moving is not smooth.
• Your tree.nvim took about 1.1 secs

I just tested it roughly. The performance of defx and coc-explorer for opening dir(16k files) is similar(about 4s). Yes, tree.nvim took only about 1s.
coc-explorer remaps the j/k keys so that cursor moving is not smooth.
I tested it before, it seems the new version of coc-explorer slow down.
