dashboard-nvim VS LuaSnip

I try to setup plugin dashboard-nvim - https://github.com/nvimdev/dashboard-nvim - to have a startup page with recent project list.

It looks like LazyNvim uses dashboard-nvim. (Here's the code in LazyNvim that uses dashboard.)

Hi to everyone. I've literally just started using neovim, but from a couple of days I am struggling with dashboard-nvim customization. I know it is a dumb question (and I apologize in advance for this): I would like to change the first line in the next image, in order to display custom things.

You can use the dashboard.nvim to create a custom startup screen for Neovim. Check out my dashboard config for an example

I have used glepnir-dashboard in neovim. Is there any available Dashboard for vim?

There's also https://github.com/glepnir/dashboard-nvim

glepnir/dashboard-nvim: vim dashboard (github.com) - at a36b32 btw, too lazy to upgrade :P

dashboard-nvim

So I have been looking at goolord/alpha-nvim and glepnir/dashboard-nvim for the startup screen. However, I often do nvim . when working so the startup screen is the directory tree (I use kyazdani42/nvim-tree.lua) The start-up screen in the directory tree looks like this.

If you're using Neovim, check out LuaSnip: https://github.com/L3MON4D3/LuaSnip

I’ve been using LuaSnip and never put much thought into it. And this was mainly because of because it seemed like the default and had good LSP integration. The one downside is that creating custom snippets is not that ergonomic, but I don’t mind it if it’s the price to pay for speed.

You can use LuaSnip and load snippets from VSCode. The documentation is pretty complete, but here is my config in case you want another reference.

I am trying to add snippets for python, i have LuaSnip and friendly-snippets installed, but for some reason it does not load the snippets. This is how i load the plugins:

There was a similar issue in LuaSnip repo. The culprit was a keymap in the config. Do you happen to have a similar keymap somewhere in your config?

I have decided to extract my Haskell snippets for LuaSnip into a plugin: haskell-snippets.nvim.

Not exactly what you're talking about but you could look into LuaSnip?

There are a few more resources for new users as well on the official repo, and you can find the implementation in Examples/snippets.lua

You mean snippets? If yes, you can try Luasnip and friendly-snippets with nvim-cmp and here's the setup guide. Hope it helps

I had the same issue recently. It was the case when I inserted a snippet but didn't fill out all the placeholders right away. This helped me. This is an autocommand that unlinks the unfinished snippet when you change the mode.
