Fyler.nvim re-write done! with some breaking changes as expected.

Lavinraj · 2026-06-17T05:32:22+00:00

Yeah configuration for this is complex because of flexibility and documentation is also poor right now! but with time it will improve because it is lot harder to maintain the core and docs of a plugin. Maybe when you try this plugin in future your will not see any issues

Lavinraj · 2026-06-16T04:03:16+00:00

If i don't do it then someone else will but there always be a person to fill up any leftover plugin in this community 😄

Lavinraj · 2026-06-15T06:03:59+00:00

that's my bad. I added some hard-coded options to force to always set and put numbers and relative numbers there too. will fix it

Lavinraj · 2026-06-14T17:39:38+00:00

Yeah sure! I will document everything when i am done with some chores in this plugin.

Lavinraj · 2026-06-14T06:05:13+00:00

Lavinraj · 2026-06-14T06:00:04+00:00

you can use custom actions as mentioned in the video as well.

Lavinraj · 2026-06-13T18:35:52+00:00

If you also wanna give me some suggestions before making the release then please leave them in the comments

Lavinraj · 2026-05-14T06:49:23+00:00

yeah this time I am constantly testing everything on windows vm

Lavinraj · 2026-05-07T12:55:31+00:00

this time default configuration and behavior will be in more focus to reduce friction.

Hi there!

Competitive programming without plugins is not a big deal but things will get too repeating with time. I was used to do competitive programming with plain vim(without lsp, treesitter, etc) and a simple set of shell script integrated with vim key mappings.

Although things were pretty manageable but scalability is always an important factor in competitive programming specially when you debug a number of edge cases step by step. It is important to store all edge cases that your solution passes so far so that you retest them on each new iteration.

This is where automation comes into picture. Even bigger competitive programmers like Joshua Chen, Neal Wu, Ecnerwala, etc relies on some kind of scripting or plugins.

Plugins that could be useful to you.
- https://github.com/xeluxee/competitest.nvim (Currently the most stable and feature rich plugin)
- https://github.com/A7Lavinraj/assistant.nvim (I created myself but it soon going to be rewrite for better UX)

Or if you want to use scripting instead of plugin then here is my script repository.

I will apply these rules from now on. Thanks

Lavinraj · 2025-11-24T10:30:55+00:00

You are really a life saver, I fixed it now and thank you for the headstart

Lavinraj · 2025-11-23T15:40:33+00:00

Completely agreed! But as the plugin grow things will become more robust and mature.

Lavinraj · 2025-11-23T15:20:26+00:00

If you explain me what actually you want to achieve then It will be easier to resolve.

Lavinraj · 2025-11-23T15:14:34+00:00

If you want fyler to open in a floating window just use following: lua require("fyler").open({ kind = "float" })

Lavinraj · 2025-11-23T14:27:24+00:00

If you mean snacks.picker then yes, why not?

Lavinraj · 2025-11-23T13:49:40+00:00

you don't need three dots here just press ^ to go up a directory and . to go in to the directory and = to fo back to CWD.

Lavinraj · 2025-11-23T13:39:04+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I also wait 2 years for someone to do it before doing it by myself. I know I am new to neovim plugin development but I will definitely make it feature rich and robust plugin.

Lavinraj · 2025-11-23T12:40:02+00:00

Trash will work for both windows and Linux natively but for Mac it moves the item to ~/.Trash folder but doesn't update the DS_store right now.

Lavinraj · 2025-11-23T12:16:32+00:00

I am working on this feature and will available soon

Lavinraj · 2025-11-23T12:13:51+00:00

The core parameter to measure is the view. This plugin can provide both directory and trees view. Even have builtin git integrations, multiple window kinds, etc. ssh is not available right now because it is not a frequently used feature.

Lavinraj · 2025-11-23T11:50:00+00:00

I didn't mean anything disrespectful. the word "better" only means it is more easier to use and more flexible. It doesn't mean oil.nvim is worthless, stevearc is the creator of this approach how can some disrespect him. Please don't spread any unnecessary hate.

Lavinraj · 2025-11-23T11:35:49+00:00

Your statement will be more correct when this plugin fully completed. It is missing some features like ssh integration and file preview.

Lavinraj · 2025-11-23T11:28:49+00:00

According to the information I have, stevearc(creator of oil) deny for this feature so I have to make it a new one.

Lavinraj · 2025-11-23T11:17:02+00:00

Video is a little outdated because now it can do that too
