Is possible to persist nvim-tree when switching between tabs?

[diegoulloao]

I'd to see nvim-tree persisting when switching between tabs.

I think you'd understand the idea by watching this video:

Screen.Recording.mp4

I tried to simulate the behavior. Not sure if is feasible to implement it as an option.
What's currently happening is that I've opened nvim-tree at the side of both buffers.

This is planned: #2255

This is not a trivial change. As usual, Pull Requestsare most gratefully appreciated.

Not exactly persisting the same instance, but I reached an acceptable workaround for me with:

require('nvim-tree').setup({
	tab = {
		sync = {
			open  = true,
			close = true,
		},
	},
})

Untitled.mov

Which persists the tree size/state across tabs

The main caveat is that resizing the tree doesn't automatically apply to other tabs

But if you resize with :NvimTreeResize, then open/close, they all reset to the same common size

Closest I'm going to get I think

That's the best mechanism, one that you have full control over.

#2255 will only remember the basics like size/filters etc. between tabs.
