In this post, I'm going to list out key actions I try to take as headings on the page, and then write the keystrokes necessary to perform each one. It's designed to be a cheatsheet for navigating around files and projects quickly using nvim-from-scratch.
nvim-tree Actions
I've been a loyal NerdTree plugin user for almost a decade, but nvim-from-scratch leverages a new file explorer plugin called nvim-tree. I refer to this plugin as the "file explorer" below. All of these tips are things you can do using the nvim-tree plugin.
