Neovim users, how do you explore a new codebase? In code I wrote, I’m pretty fast but in unfamiliar codebases I’m still much better with vs code

I map "<leader>pv" for folder viewing with vim.cmd.Ex. I no longer use tree views. "<leader>pf" is mapped to telescope.builtin.find_files for keyword searches. A lot of "gd" which is mapped to vim.lsp.buf.definition() for drilling into references, etc. some vim.lsp.buf.hover() for docs... I don't really need more.

Personally I use neotree as my file explorer in those situations and it works pretty well, especially with “go to definition” when I start going deeper

Try rg, fzf, or telescope.

Try Warpcast's code navigator. It's a game changer for exploring new codebases.

VS Code has better support for exploring unknown codebases. Try 'Open to Side' and 'Go to Definition' features.

When exploring a new codebase, I usually start by grepping for key terms or functions to get a lay of the land. Then I'll dive into the main files and start tracing the flow of the code. Sometimes I'll use ctags or language-specific plugins to help me navigate faster. As much as I love Neovim for my own code, I have to admit that VS Code's IntelliSense and built-in debugger make it a better tool for exploring unfamiliar codebases. It just feels more user-friendly and intuitive in those situations.
