How to toggle between nvim-web-devicons and mini.icons

Open Harichandra-Prasath opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Hi, thanks for this beautiful Plugin.

I'm relatively new to nvim and learning more about plugins and how they work. While trying to beautify netrw, i came across this plugin. As far as i understand, It uses either mini.icons or nvim-web-devicons to display the icons, but i am having a hard time forcing this plugin to select nvim-web-devicons. I believe by default, it uses mini.icons (changing style of mini.icons is getting reflected in netrw) and i dont see a way to toggle in the config as well. Is there any way that i can tell the plugin to choose nvim-web-devicons over mini.icons. As telescope uses nvim-web-devicons, i want the netrw to use them as well. Thank you

Hey @Harichandra-Prasath,

Thank you for submitting this issue. Your assessment is correct, there is currently no way to select nvim-web-devicons over mini.icons when both are installed. I will try submitting a configuration update soon-ish. In the meantime, you can use the issue-38/tmp-fix branch (e.g. see the branch option of lazy.nvim).
