Turutupa, You can use a popular plugin called NERDTree for file navigation. You can also use FZF. I have both installed because they work differently. NERDTree is good when you know where your file is. FZF is good when you know part of the file name.

Vim is highly configurable, I but you can get anything that works in VSCode to work in Vim. Check out this article:

By the comments I've seen so far and what I have seen lately related to vim file navigation, I think a good combination would be

  • fzf
  • nerdtree
  • harpoon

Gotta try it. Cheers for the help!
