Exploring coc-explorer

Install coc-explorer

This install will be a little different and if you've been following along you probably know we are using coc

coc-explorer is just and extension to that

:CocInstall coc-explorer

Config

We can add some simple settings in the coc-settings.json file

// explorer "explorer.width": 30, "explorer.icon.enableNerdfont": true, "explorer.previewAction.onHover": false, "explorer.keyMappings.global": { "<cr>": ["expandable?", "expand", "open"], "v": "open:vsplit" }

We'll also add some settings in ~/.config/nvim/plug-config/coc.vim

Append these lines to the end
