📑 Description

This PR replaces neo-tree with fyler.nvim as the default file explorer and enhances its usability.

Key changes:

  • Disabled neo-tree to prevent conflicts.
  • Set fyler as the default explorer (default_explorer = true).
  • Open in a floating window with <Leader>e.

These updates make fyler.nvim fully integrate as the main file explorer with improved UX.

📖 Additional Information

  • Fully integrated with astrocore mappings.
  • Floating mode avoids blocking the main buffer.
  • Visual and interaction enhancements for smoother navigation.

Note: Breaking Change

The keybinding used is different but is in line with other plugins such as the mini-files plugin and the default neo-tree moreover the default mode is floating.

My config:

Though something like this could be used instead:

Review Checklist

Does this PR follow the [Contribution Guidelines](development guidelines)? Following is a partial checklist:

Proper conventional commit scoping:

  • If you are adding a new plugin, the scope would be the name of the category it is being added into. ex. feat(utility): added noice.nvim plugin

  • If you are modifying a pre-existing plugin or pack, the scope would be the name of the plugin folder. ex. fix(noice-nvim): fix LSP handler error

  • Pull request title has the appropriate conventional commit type and scope where the scope is the name of the pre-existing directory in the project as described above

  • README is properly formatted and uses fenced in links with <url> unless they are inside a [title](url)

  • Entry returns a single plugin spec with the new plugin as the only top level spec (not applicable for recipes or packs).

  • Proper usage of opts table rather than setting things up with the config function.

  • Proper usage of specs table for all specs that are not dependencies of a given plugin (not applicable for recipes or packs).

looks good, i just wanted the pr message to reflect the content when I reviewed 😅. I'll be doing a pass in 12h, but this looks good so far from my quick pass!
