Pick window

[chgara]

Description

When splitting window into half or more and I select a new file to open it pop ups: "Pick window:" , I saw in the that can not be automated how the window is picked.

So if I have two windows | A | B | and I am in B and open nvim-tree I want to open it on B automatically like nerd-tree does. But config does not allow it.

Neovim version

NVIM v0.8.1
Build type: Release
LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3

Operating system and version

Manjaro latest stable

nvim-tree version

29788cc

Minimal config

No config need, default one

Steps to reproduce

1. Open file
2. Split and open another, so now you have tab | A | B |
3. Open nvim-tree and select a file, it will ask

Expected behavior

No response

Actual behavior

No response

This is not a bug. Please seek first to understand.

Disabling :help nvim-tree.actions.open_file.window_picker.enable should result in you desired behaviour.

See :help nvim-tree.actions.open_file.window_picker.picker. This allows you to customise your window selection. Here's an example of a custom function: #1782 (comment)

Moving to discussion.

Thank you for clarifying. I was confused as well because I missed the window identifiers in the window's status line.
The help command doesn't work anymore. It is :help nvim_tree.config.actions.open_file.window_picker now
