neovim-session-manager VS projectile

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.

Shatur/neovim-session-manager: A simple wrapper around :mksession.

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.

Could you explain more about this setup? I'm not familiar with "projectile". Is this https://github.com/bbatsov/projectile the same thing you're referring to?

Sounds interesting. What I've done recently is open my vim in the folder that contains all the organization's repos (the ones I've cloned) and just run ripgrep inside vim to find examples or references to whatever I've seeking. Seems performant enough even without doing anything except letting ripgrep ignore git-ignored stuff (default behavior of ripgrep).

Sure. It sounds like it's working well enough. Here's a Github issue that may be of interest to you. Apparently you can get this behavior if there's a project marker file at a higher level.

With projectile you can define custom "run", "compile", "test" commands per project. Also there are pre-defined commands for many known project types.

Thanks for your detailed explanation, but no that is no that is not the question. This is projectile: https://github.com/bbatsov/projectile

I am currently trying with perspective rather than persp-mode, as it segregates the buffer list as I like (#1 above). I've got projectile with persp-projectile, and that seems to give me what I need for project navigation (#2 probably, still not 100%). I get some help in my mode line for project focus (#3, partially).
