Terminal & Files¶
timvim integrates a toggleterm-based terminal and the Yazi file manager so you can run commands and browse the filesystem without leaving the editor.
Terminal¶
| Key | Mode | Action |
|---|---|---|
Ctrl+t |
n | Toggle a terminal (horizontal split) |
<leader>tt |
n, t | Toggle a floating terminal |
Floating vs split
Use Ctrl+t for a persistent split alongside your work, and <leader>tt
for a quick floating terminal that overlays the editor.
Yazi file manager¶
Yazi replaces netrw and opens in a floating window with rounded borders. It appears automatically when you open a directory.
| Key | Mode | Action |
|---|---|---|
- |
n | Open Yazi at the current file |
<leader>fo |
n | Open Yazi at the current file |
<leader>fO |
n | Open Yazi in the working directory |
<leader>fy |
n | Toggle / resume the last Yazi session |
Inside the Yazi window¶
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
F1 |
Show help |
Ctrl+v |
Open the file in a vertical split |
Ctrl+x |
Open the file in a horizontal split |
Ctrl+t |
Open the file in a new tab |
Ctrl+s |
Grep within the directory |
Ctrl+g |
Find and replace within the directory |
Ctrl+y |
Copy the relative path of the selected files |
Tab |
Cycle through open buffers |
Directory buffers
Opening any directory hands off to Yazi automatically, so nvim . drops
you straight into the file manager.
