Mini Files

To use this, add it to your lazy.nvim imports:

lua/config/lazy.lua

require("lazy").setup({
  spec = {
    { "LazyVim/LazyVim", import = "lazyvim.plugins" },
    { import = "lazyvim.plugins.extras.editor.mini-files" },
    { import = "plugins" },
  },
})

mini.files

Options

opts = {
  windows = {
    preview = true,
    width_focus = 30,
    width_preview = 30,
  },
  options = {
    -- Whether to use for editing directories
    -- Disabled by default in LazyVim because neo-tree is used for that
    use_as_default_explorer = false,
  },
}
