I am guessing this is a rebase of #2377? It's good practice to credit the original or both in the commits and the PR description.

Agree, if this is just a rebase the original author should be retained on the commits.

Sorry guys, big noob here. I just clicked pull request button as soons as I decided things were working properly.
I intend to credit the original guy @cossonleo . I'm trying to edit the part where I've put the img, but idk how.

Would love to see this work out of the box without needing (I assume) a patched font.

E.g. folder icons:

Behaviour

Happy to see these as defaults or an added option if other users are also interested

• Toggle tree visibility via space e instead of toggling focus.
• Hide preview window when hovering a tree item. This adds a bit of clutter and this functionality exists already inside of space f.
• Allow sidebar to be swapped to the right side. More useful when quickly toggling the tree open/closed.

Keymaps

Current decisions may be based on technical limitations or to ease maintainability

Merge file/directory commands

For example, replace mf/md (make file/make directory) with a (add file or directory). Create a directory if user input ends with a "/".

Thank you to everyone helping to build this feature, it's much appreciated 💜

I agree, though it should still take into account the users's current place in the tree

Hide preview window when hovering a tree item. This adds a bit of clutter and this functionality exists already inside of space f.

IMO this should be an option in the user's Helix config. I think having it be disabled by default makes sense, but I also think that it's a very valuable feature for some. space f is not the same as you do not have the context of the files position in the directory structure

Allow sidebar to be swapped to the right side. More useful when quickly toggling the tree open/closed.

Would be nice but not required for the initial PR in my opinion

It shouldn't, unless this PR also includes #2869
