Dela Anthonio 026964d3c5 filetree: Press ~SPC 0~ to open the neotree and treemacs windows
Resolve #9313

Window 0 is reserved for file trees. Let's open the file tree window using
~SPC 0~ instead of ~SPC f T~ since it's less key strokes.

* Description
This layer setups a file tree navigator buffer using Neotree.
** Features:
- intuitive evil key-bindings integration
- supports multiple themes
- transient state by pressing on ~?~
- version-control integration
* Install
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =neotree= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
file.
* Configuration
** NeoTree Theme
You can change the NeoTree theme by using the setting =neo-theme=. Possible
values are:
| Setting | Description |
|-----------+------------------------------------------------------------------|
| =classic= | Use an icon to display items - only suitable for gui mode. |
| =ascii= | The simplest style, it will use =x=, =-= to display fold status. |
| =arrow= | Use unicode arrows to display fold status. |
| =icons= | Use [[https://github.com/domtronn/all-the-icons.el][all-the-icons]] packages and fonts |
| =nerd= | Use the NERDTree indentation mode and arrows. |
The default is =classic=.
Use =nerd= if you want it to look most like NERDTree in VIM. For example:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq neo-theme 'nerd)
#+END_SRC
** NeoTree Source Control Integration
If you would like NeoTree to show source control information, you can use the
setting =neo-vc-integration=. It is a list containing the possible values:
| Setting | Description |
|---------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| =face= | Show information by changing the color of the file/directory name. |
| =char= | Show information with a character to the left of the file/directory name. |
The default is =nil= (do not show source control information), which is recommended.
For example,
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq neo-vc-integration 'face)
#+END_SRC
*Note*: At this time, it is not recommended to set this to anything other
than =nil=. Otherwise, it will become very slow with larger source trees.
See https://github.com/jaypei/emacs-neotree/issues/126 for more information.
* Usage
This layer provides a quick and simple way to navigate in an unknown project
file tree with [[https://github.com/jaypei/emacs-neotree][NeoTree]].
To toggle the =NeoTree= buffer, press ~SPC f t~ or ~SPC p t~ (the latter opens
NeoTree with the root set to the projectile project root).
To select the NeoTree window, press ~SPC 0~. The NeoTree window always has the
number =0= so it does not shift the current number of the other windows.
VCS integration is supported, the file color will change depending on its
current state. With default =spacemacs-dark= theme:
- green: new file
- purple: modified file
** NeoTree mode-line
The mode-line has the following format =[x/y] d (D:a, F:b)= where:
- =x= is the index of the current selected file or directory
- =y= the total number of items (file and directory) in the current directory
- =d= the name of the current directory
- =a= the number of directories in the current directory
- =b= the number of files in the current directory
* Key Bindings
** NeoTree navigation
Navigation is centered on the ~hjkl~ keys with the hope of providing a fast
navigation experience like in [[http://ranger.nongnu.org/][ranger]]:
| Key Binding | Description |
|--------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ~h~ | collapse expanded directory or go to parent node |
| ~H~ | select previous sibling |
| ~j~ | select next file or directory |
| ~J~ | select next expanded directory on level down |
| ~k~ | select previous file or directory |
| ~K~ | select parent directory, when reaching the root change it to parent directory |
| ~l~ or ~RET~ | expand directory |
| ~L~ | select next sibling |
| ~R~ | make a directory the root directory |
*Note*: Point is automatically set to the first letter of a node for a smoother
experience.
** Opening files with NeoTree
By default a file is opened in the last active window. It is possible to choose
window number where to open a file by using a numeric argument, for instance
~2 l~ or ~2 RET~ will open the current file in window 2. It is also possible to
open the file in a split window with ~|~ and ~-~:
| Key Binding | Description |
|------------------+-------------------------------------------|
| ~l~ or ~RET~ | open file in last active window |
| ~# l~ or ~# RET~ | open file in window number =#= |
| ~¦~ | open file in an vertically split window |
| ~-~ | open file in an horizontally split window |
** Other NeoTree key bindings
| Key Binding | Description |
|-------------+---------------------------------|
| ~TAB~ | toggle stretching of the buffer |
| ~c~ | create a node |
| ~C~ | copy a node |
| ~d~ | delete a node |
| ~gr~ | refresh |
| ~s~ | toggle showing of hidden files |
| ~q~ or ~fd~ | hide =NeoTree= buffer |
| ~r~ | rename a node |
| ~?~ | show help |
