dotfiles VS vim-startify

Commit to dotfiles with a code block example (fennel).

Here is mine, written in fennel (Lisp). REPL-like experience writing my nvim configs. I am doing Clojure, Java, Kotlin, Dart development with it. I used to use IntellijIdea, but now my nvim may do much more, and it's crazy fast.

Create plugin with "+", select kotlin, and paste the code;

I had the same warnings at first, but now I don't use terminal app anymore because of two reasons: 1. have the same vim bindings inside vim term (and it's easy to use with https://github.com/akinsho/toggleterm.nvim). 2. able to set up global hotkeys, like cmd+c, cmd+v, cmd+a, cmd+q, etc for vim (neovide), and not for terminal. Example with karabiner.

As lsp-config doesn't seem to work with vim, I moved back for ale with clj-kondo for a while https://github.com/Liverm0r/dotfiles/commit/f41a8ee8dd6a5ab36c14e89db186a16efbdc237a

The experience with Fennel was pretty smooth. Aniseed does all the dirty work and does it brilliantly. Now I can easily extend the editor myself. I never wrote anything for vim (just copypaste), and now I am able to solve a task, for example, launch a terminal with an appropriate repl (commit).

yes, thank you, used it already several minutes ago :) https://github.com/Liverm0r/dotfiles/commit/297c69f13900bf151a8556e0d5439274e3b2ab63

I'm currently using alpha.nvim (https://github.com/goolord/alpha-nvim). It tries to be more generic than the others, to the point it can recreate most of the other popular ones. It even has template for for example the dashboard layout. startup-nvim (https://github.com/startup-nvim/startup.nvim) seems to do a similar thing, although I dont' have experience with that one. The only other one I've tried before is the classic vim-startify (https://github.com/mhinz/vim-startify), which is a little older I think and locks you into its layout.

Tbh, startify made me more curious about all the vim possibilities. https://github.com/mhinz/vim-startify

Just for posterity since every other session plugin has been posted, vim-startify has autosave and autoload support

I am working on a, from scratch, rebuild of the ever classic vim-startify for neovim with a focus on extreme extensibility. I also want it to be as much of a drop in replacement as possible, and don't want to write myself into a corner with some design choices I'm taking

https://github.com/mhinz/vim-startify has also means to store sessions with command 'SSave'.

might be well known but i like https://github.com/mhinz/vim-startify easy to use start screen with most recently used lists of files, etc.

Startify

mhinz/vim-startify - Start page

I was trying to center the startup screen for vim-startify and went down the rabbit hole of looking for a different startup plugin. My main use is that I want to start my already existing startify sessions as everything else I do with Telescope. I found mini.starter and it is working exactly as I want it to so I thought I would share for others that look for something similar. Don't get put off by the many components of the plugin. They are not loaded if you don't need them. Here is my a screenshot and my config for a minimal, centered, startup:

I am using :e# and ctrl-^ a lot to switch between most recent files (alternate-file), but if I open a file with startify , those commands will error with E23: No alternate file.
