Sidebar usage? #404

Closed proofer closed 1 year ago

proofer commented 2 years ago

So far, all I can do with the sidebar is click to unfold the root directory, and then double-click on a directory to open a netrw browser in the main window. I don't know of a way to access or use the sidebar with the keyboard. But I can open a netrw browser from the command line, so I don't need the sidebar for that. What am I missing?

@proofer As you understand. Currently, the sidebar has only a very simple feature. One major point to note is that while goneovim has the ability to manage independent instances of nvim as workspaces, the sidebar is the only view that allows you to visually browse these independent workspaces.

OK. It'd be great to have a file browser in a sidebar that is accessible with the keyboard and from which a file could be opened into a window or tab of the current project (workspace?). EDIT: Ah, we have that with the GonvimFilerOpen command. It looks like the sidebar and still says "WORKSPACE" at the top but it's not a new instance of nvim and disappears after opening a file, reappears at the same directory when the GonvimFilerOpen command is reissued. I will be keymapping that command today!

Yes. The sidebar displays multiple workspaces managed by goneovim. New workspaces can be created with :GonvimWorkspaceNew command.
