emmet-vim VS vim-startify

If you're going to be doing a lot of HTML, I really love the emmet-vim plugin. In this case, it fills in a little more than you may have wanted ( tags get an automatic href="" attribute), but you can, for instance, put in (li>b)*2 (that is, two tags, each with a inside an

If you're talking about this plugin, you don't need to be in visual mode, just type your abbreviation and press ctrl-y, like this:

Does anyone have a link to their repository with emmet(https://github.com/mattn/emmet-vim) manually installed?

I installed emmet using packer.nvim. The plugin seemed to be installed correctly without any errors.

I tried emmet-vim, but it's only working in html files

It sounds like vim-emmet would be right up your alley. If you don't use a Vim package manager, install it by git cloneing it into a folder named ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/ on Unix/macOS or $HOME\vimfiles\pack\plugins\start on Windows (create it beforehand if it doesn't exist), then after you've :EmmetInstalled it into your buffer, you can use the , mapping after the ! to write the Emmet expansion for the HTML boilerplate; Emmet expansion is a very useful but quite complex feature and you can read more on it in [https://docs.emmet.io/](Emmet's documentation).

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.
