ccc.nvim

ccc.nvim is a fork of Neovim plugin 'fm-nvim' that lets you use your favorite terminal file managers (and fuzzy finders) from within Neovim.

Supported File Managers

• ccc

Supported Fuzzy Finders

• fnf

Keep in mind that support for fuzzy finding is quite limited and using seperate plugins would be more practical.

1. Partial Support as files cannot be opened.

Installation:

• packer.nvim:

  use {'night0721/ccc.nvim'}
  

Configuration:

The following configuration contains the defaults so if you find them satisfactory, there is no need to use the setup function.

require('ccc.nvim').setup{
	-- (Vim) Command used to open files
	edit_cmd = "edit",

	-- See `Q&A` for more info
	on_close = {},
	on_open = {},

	-- UI Options
	ui = {
		-- Default UI (can be "split" or "float")
		default = "float",

		float = {
			-- Floating window border (see ':h nvim_open_win')
			border    = "none",

			-- Highlight group for floating window/border (see ':h winhl')
			float_hl  = "Normal",
			border_hl = "FloatBorder",

			-- Floating Window Transparency (see ':h winblend')
			blend     = 0,

			-- Num from 0 - 1 for measurements
			height    = 0.8,
			width     = 0.8,

			-- X and Y Axis of Window
			x         = 0.5,
			y         = 0.5
		},

		split = {
			-- Direction of split
			direction = "topleft",

			-- Size of split
			size      = 24
		}
	},

	-- Terminal commands used w/ file manager (have to be in your $PATH)
	cmds = {
        ccc_cmd     = "ccc",
        fnf_cmd     = "find . | fnf",
	},

	-- Mappings used with the plugin
	mappings = {
		vert_split = "<C-v>",
		horz_split = "<C-h>",
		tabedit    = "<C-t>",
		edit       = "<C-e>",
		ESC        = "<ESC>"
	},
}

Usage:

Any of the following commands are fine...

• Commands
  • :Ccc
  • :Fnf

but you can add a directory path w/ the command (doesn't work with fnf).

Example:

:Ccc ~/.config/nvim/

Q&A

Q: What if I want to open files in splits or tabs?

A: Use any of the default mappings (unless you've changed them)...

• <C-h> for horizontal split
• <C-v> for vertical split
• <C-e> for normal edit
• <C-t> for tabs

Q: Can I run a function once exiting or entering the plugin?

A: Yes you can! Use the following code as a guide...

local function yourFunction()
	-- Your code goes here
end

require('ccc.nvim').setup{
	-- Runs yourFunction() upon exiting the floating window (can only be a function)
	on_close = { yourFunction },

	-- Runs yourFunction() upon opening the floating window (can only be a function)
	on_open = { yourFunction }
}

Q: What if I want to map <ESC> to close the window?

A: You can do this by mapping <ESC> to whatever closes your file manager (note that this may bring up other issues). This can be done with the following code...

require('ccc.nvim').setup{
	mappings = {
		-- Example for Vifm
		ESC        = ":q<CR>"
	}
}

Q: Am I able to have image previews?

A: Not yet

Q: Can I use splits instead of a floating window

A: It's possible by changing the "default" option in the "ui" table to "split"
