modes.nvim VS persistence.nvim

How about this plugin ?

hm, I did a similar thing for my heirline.nvim config and replicated modes.nvim, but with my statusline's highlights. code is here.

If you don't mind a plugin, either of these are close to what you want: https://github.com/mvllow/modes.nvim https://github.com/mawkler/modicator.nvim

You can use mvllow/modes.nvim, under the hood it manipulates the 'winhighlight' and 'guicursor' options

Try mvllow/modes.nvim, you can play around with Modes*CursorLine and Modes*CursorLineNr highlight groups

You can also use modes.nvim to achieve similar effect

Maybe this one https://github.com/mvllow/modes.nvim ?

modes.nvim, different highlight for your cursorline based on current mode

persistence.nvim for using session management which is useful

i use persistence.nvim plugin, and i map the commands on my dashboard so i can open my last session

I've been using vim sessions for a while now. Sessions can have their own configuration files and that's what I use for projects. For this to be actually convenient you'll need plugin like persistence.nvim to handle the sessions themselves (or make your own workflow).

I like the idea of a "config" module. Plugins like persistence and mason.nvim have it, they allow you to set variables without calling the main module.

persistence.nvim: Small session manager. I use some of its functions to also manage project local configs. It is because of this plugin I can use language servers the way I want.

persistence.nvim * Automatically save active session to a configurable directory * API to load most recent or current session based on cwd * No direct support for a telescope picker but could probably be setup with vim.ui.select()

yeah, I was planning on shimming this functionality out to another plugin. sessions have little to do with a startup gui imo. i mention in the docs using something like https://github.com/folke/persistence.nvim
