Fern file type icon support with nvim-web-devicons #12

Closed notchtc closed 3 years ago

notchtc commented 3 years ago

What? File type icons for fern.

Why? There are a few plugins that use nvim-web-devicons, but fern supports only vim-devicons (fern-renderer-devicons.vim) and nerdfont.vim (fern-renderer-nerdfont.vim) and it's kinda stupid to have two plugins that do the same thing just to have icons in fern and in my bar (vim-devicons and nvim-web-devicons).

Potential existing implementations: https://github.com/lambdalisue/fern-renderer-devicons.vim

*Potential pitfalls:* ¯_(ツ)_/¯

This might have more success as an issue on https://github.com/lambdalisue/fern.vim, for what it's worth. It sounds like you want fern to add support for nvim-web-devicons, rather than wishing for a new plugin, correct?

notchtc commented 3 years ago

Well icon support for fern is a separate plugin, even though it's made by the same person that made fern. So support should be a new plugin.

Closing this as this issue is basically dead and I no longer use icons and fern. If someone wants to use fern with nvim-web-devicons there is an alternative to fern called nvim-tree.lua that uses nvim-web-devicons for icons (it's even made by the same person that made nvim-web-devicons).
