Use Edgy.nvim to put Trouble and other things in a sidebar, and forced bottom.

[greggh]

Feature description

I was looking over the docs for Trouble and saw the screenshot at the top of the page here:

https://github.com/folke/trouble.nvim

That config with a sidebar and bottom for the 3 Trouble windows that I use would be perfect. Folke says that this is the config he is using (in a thread there):

https://www.lazyvim.org/extras/ui/edgy

I tried to get this all going in the user folder and I am just failing to make it work. But then I noticed that nearly everything in that config is in your setup, other than Grug Far, so maybe this should be part of the main dotfiles and not in my user folder.

Thoughts?

My hope was to have one key bind that would let me bring up all 3 of those Trouble windows exactly like that screenshot, and also close them all when done again, like a toggle.

maybe a PR would be nice?

A useful plugin, IMO it's worthy to add it.

I 100% agree, I just know I am not at the level of this config and you two yet. This is my first true neovim config and not just using vanilla vim. If I made you a PR for this, I would probably break more than I fix. I am using this config and editing it to learn how to do this in neovim. I can try if thats what we all decide on.

ok then. I'll try to add this plugin when i got time. Currently working on my master thesis lol

BTW, we usually propose plugins at #494 and have some discussions over there.

Work for it now. Besides, I want to use neo-tree.nvim to replace nvim-tree.lua b/c neotree is more powerful.

@ayamir have u tried oil.nvim before?

based on my understanding, oil.nvim let u "edit" the file explorer as if it's a plain text file, so we don't need to config lots of keymaps for file operations.

@CharlesChiuGit Nice plugin, DO like its design concept and worthy to try. IMO we should keep usage habits consistent as much as possible if we want to replace nvim-tree.lua with oil.nvim. Have you already used it in your own config?

agree.

I tried it before, but i didn't understand it's concept at that time so i removed it. After watching TJ's yt video, i think i should give it another try.

Here's my config back then, most of it are default settings if i remember it correctly.
