I'm trying to get something like Nerd Tree in Emacs and found Nav, which is like the basic emacs file navigator, and it suits me.
The problem is, when I open Nav and switch to its buffer, evil-mode is still on and I have to press C-z if I want to use any Nav specific commands (e.g. . for nav-toggle-hidden-files). And it annoys me.
It's been a few hours I'm trying to fix that issue, by pasting
(require 'evil)
(evil-mode 0)
everywhere in the Nav files, but obviously I'm doing it wrong.. And I'm pretty sure it will happen again while using other plugins.. How do I do that?
You want nav-mode buffers to open in Emacs state rather than in Evil's normal state. I don't know what nav-mode is actually called, but do the following, adjusting the name of the mode accordingly:
(add-to-list 'evil-emacs-state-modes 'nav-mode)
