## Transcript

helpful plugin for vim is the nerd tree plugin you can navigate around with jnk the way that you would expect and when you're over a directory you can hit enter to open that directory and view what's inside of it if we wanted to we can also add files to this so i can say m and that means that i want to modify the current directory in some way and for instance if i hit a that's going to add a new file here so i'm going to say script2.css and hit enter that creates this script 2 file and now i can say i don't know body whatever you can write your css here this is handy if you need to look at the actual file structure but typically when i am navigating i'll use control p and then use fzf to fuzzy find my file so if i wanted the server i would just type ser that will jump me to server.js i hit enter that's how i actually navigate around so i don't have to think about the directory structure i can just use muscle memory control p type in some part of the file name hit enter jump to that file
