neovim-session-manager VS dotfiles

I use neovim-session-manager, for my needs, works pretty well! :)

I have a question about https://github.com/Shatur/neovim-session-manager How do I make it so the session doesn't autoload, but it still autosaves?

Something that is a bit more advanced, which I'll just throw out there to let you know exists, is sessions. It basically saves all the currently open buffers, tabs, panes, and how they're set up so you can return to them later. You can use them without plugins and open, load, and save them manually, or you can use a session manager (I personally use Neovim-session-manager). That way if you're working on a project for class X, you can save the session, close Neovim or open another session to work on class Y, and you can return to that session whenever you want.

Personally I use neovim-session-manager for this (https://github.com/Shatur/neovim-session-manager) and haven't had any complaints with it so far.

I use AstroNvim which utilizes https://github.com/Shatur/neovim-session-manager to jump between “projects”. You can then save a “project” and find/go to previously saved “projects” and it will cd for you.

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.

You could take a look at this one: https://github.com/Shatur/neovim-session-manager

Have you tried neovim-session-manager?

You can use a session manager so it would be easy to just quit and reload the last session, at least, this is what I'm doing.

I ended up implementing the 1% of features I use most myself and using a plugins for navigating and managing lists of checkboxes. I've used this setup for a few years now and can't imagine life without it.

I use tmuxp for this with my projects set up like this and I use a script to open the ones I'm currently working on in a single tmux session.

Exactly the same as me. I even use fzf to search for and open my tmuxinator projects.

I tried vimwiki for a while but I found I used a tiny subset of its functionality and couldn't get it to respect my choice of syntax highlighting for markdown. It set me off in the right direction though.

The fact that it's _just_ a directory full of markdown files allowed me to easily migrate to my own home-grown setup that reimplements the three keybindings I actually used.

Everything is configured with tmuxp and I can set the whole thing up with a single command.

It's ideal for dotfiles. Here are mine
