rnvimr
A Neovim plugin that integrates Ranger as a floating file explorer using RPC for seamless communication.
What is rnvimr?
Rnvimr is a Neovim plugin that integrates the Ranger terminal file manager as a floating window within the editor. It solves the problem of disjointed file management by using RPC to enable seamless communication between Neovim and Ranger, allowing actions in one to directly affect the other. This provides a more cohesive and powerful alternative to Neovim's built-in file explorer or basic Ranger plugins.
Neovim users who prefer Ranger for file navigation and want deep integration without leaving the editor. It's ideal for developers who manage projects with complex directory structures and value customizable, keyboard-driven workflows.
Developers choose Rnvimr for its unique RPC-based bidirectional sync, which offers tighter integration than other Ranger plugins, along with features like automatic buffer cleanup, layout customization, and support for image previews. It transforms Ranger from a standalone tool into a native Neovim component.
