auto-session VS telescope-file-browser.nvim

The plugins are: https://github.com/goolord/alpha-nvim and https://github.com/rmagatti/auto-session

I use auto-session for session management and session-lens telescope extension for switching the sessions. When I switch to a different session, auto-session clears all buffers from my current session, including the modified ones, without warning. I'm wondering if there are any ways to prevent losing my changes. For instance, can I save the modified buffers in the session and load them on session restore, or configure auto-session to give me a warning before switching to a new session if there are unsaved changes? Alternatively, is there a way to use Telescope to display a list of recently modified buffers, so that I can review them before switching sessions and take appropriate action?

buffers: I open and close nvim instances all day long, using https://github.com/rmagatti/auto-session (or one of the many other session management plugins), it saves my buffers on a per git branch basis, so I lose nothing. nvim opens in less than a second, so this is no burden at all.

Yes, I use rmagatti/auto-session with some gnarly hacks to save a subset of window options, a per-session colorscheme, and some other wacky stuff so it stays 99.9% the same between sessions.

The correct one is : auto-session (I edited the mistake in the message above)

auto-session ?

I'm also using auto-session and nvim-tree which can both interact with the session.

Finally, to save sessions and move through them, check: auto-session

Yes, for this purpose, I'm using rmagatti/auto-session

EDIT: I found what I was looking for https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim and https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-file-browser.nvim

I'm aware of telescope-file-browser.nvim, but it seems to only search through one directory at a time and not the full project at once.

for reference, what I want it to look like is what they have on the github repo for nvim-telescope/telescope-file-browser.nvim.

an alternative is to use telescope-file browser, which simply allows you to interactively go up/down a directory: https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-file-browser.nvim

I use a lot of key bindings for telescope. A regular use of mine is to open telescope file browser with `` without a previewer, and `` (shift) with previewer. So I have `Layer + f` that sends `` on tap and `` on double tap. Same goes for telescope grep string, but a different config: `` does a live grep in relative folder and `` does a global live grep. Very useful when navigating big monorepos. This is how the layer looks:

There's telescope-file-browser.nvim
