Fellas, oil.nvim is an amazing neovim package. In this video I'm going to show you how to install and use oil.nvim. It honestly hits the sweet spot of my workflow. I love to jump between directories and files, and create new files/directories from there. Oil.nvim allows you to navigate your dirs and create/edit filenames and dirs like a vim buffer. it truly is amazing and I hope you like it too.

The biggest advantage I found for Oil is that it allows you to manipulate the filetree as if it were lines of text, rather than as a different kind of object. Stuff like copy-paste directory, add new file, etc. follow the same finger-motions/finger-logic as regular Neovim. That was a HUGE plus for me and made it awkward to go back to other file options.

Looks like it would pair well with the telescope file browser. Can you have it open a particular directory instead of the directory your current buffer is at? Because then maybe can bind a key to open the ditectory for whatever is selected by telescope file browser. That would be much quicker!

Oil is useful if you want to apply several actions at once. Let's say you wanted to rename several files at the same time (e.g. rename file1.txt to file1_new.txt, file2.txt to file2_new.txt and so on). With oil you can just use append "_new" to every line in the buffer (= each file) just like in a regular buffer. With traditional file browsers, you would have to run several commands instead.
