Working with Files · Onivim 2 User Manual

Navigating the File Explorer

To change the current working directory, which will also update the file explorer root, you can use the :cd command - for example: :cd ~/my/project.

Opening files

QuickOpen

Onivim 2 has a QuickOpen fuzzy-finder out-of-the-box, powered by ripgrep.

To access the QuickOpen fuzzy-finder, you can use:

Windows / Linux: Control+P
OSX Command+P

`:e` command

You can also use Vim's Ex-mode edit command to open a file - for example: :edit ~/my/project/README.md.

NOTE: :edit can be abbreviated as :e.

Saving files

To save your changes, you can use the :write command.

NOTE: :write can be abbreviated as :w

If you want to save to another file, you can use the :save command, for example: :sav ~/my/project/another-file.txt.

Navigating in opened windows

By pressing <C+TAB> you can access the currently opened windows. Similar to open all files you can navigate through files.
