auto-session VS telescope-project.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

Many telescope.nvim users are sure to use extensions. For example, you can write configs with telescope-project.nvim.

Projects are handle by the telescope-project plugin (https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-project.nvim) Does is change when you open folder by its name ? With “lvim .” ? With just “lvim” ?

I found this plugin for telescope that does all of the above, except that it requires a redundant step where even though I'm inside a project, I still have to select the project before I can search / grep inside. Basically, I want to create a mapping that allows me to search inside the project without having to always select the project that I am in (it should be able to detect that the file from which I am searching belongs to such-and-such project and so can instantly search from within that project).

telescope-project.nvim

Sharing a lightweight plugin I wrote yesterday which provides some functions for accessing previously used current working directories. I know that this is similar to some other "workspace" / "project" plugins which already exist, so I've pasted the motivation section from the README. >I work in a large monorepo and change my working directory depending on what part of the codebase I'm looking at to give my LSP (gopls) a chance and to improve the usefulness of fuzzy finding files. I want to change the current working directory back to a previously used one without having to configure a "project" or "workspace" beforehand. This requirement is not satisfied (as far as I can tell) by existing similar plugins: > - project.nvim > - telescope-project.nvim > - workspaces.nvim. > - neovim-session-manager > olddirs.nvim is very lightweight and doesn't provide any niceties (out of the box) like some of the above plugins, it's literally just :oldfiles for directories. > \ I say "out of the box" since some features like the searching or browsing of files inside a previous directory can be implemented by adding actions to the olddirs.nvim Telescope picker.

This seems to be a https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-project.nvim

Few months ago I tried https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-project.nvim but it does not restore windows layout (seem to only cd into project dir). Are there any other session managers that support features listed above?

Anyhow, I started clearing the last requirements standing by installing telescope-project.nvim and todo-comments.nvim. They were a convenient choice, as both extend the already mentioned Telescope plugin. Seamless terminal integration was possibly the feature I was looking for the most. As I hoped, Neovim offers transparent terminal emulation out of the box, making to open a terminal buffer feel like a first class operation.
