neovim-session-manager VS telescope-project.nvim

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.

Many telescope.nvim users are sure to use extensions. For example, you can write configs with telescope-project.nvim.

Projects are handle by the telescope-project plugin (https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-project.nvim) Does is change when you open folder by its name ? With “lvim .” ? With just “lvim” ?

I found this plugin for telescope that does all of the above, except that it requires a redundant step where even though I'm inside a project, I still have to select the project before I can search / grep inside. Basically, I want to create a mapping that allows me to search inside the project without having to always select the project that I am in (it should be able to detect that the file from which I am searching belongs to such-and-such project and so can instantly search from within that project).

This seems to be a https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-project.nvim

Few months ago I tried https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-project.nvim but it does not restore windows layout (seem to only cd into project dir). Are there any other session managers that support features listed above?

Anyhow, I started clearing the last requirements standing by installing telescope-project.nvim and todo-comments.nvim. They were a convenient choice, as both extend the already mentioned Telescope plugin. Seamless terminal integration was possibly the feature I was looking for the most. As I hoped, Neovim offers transparent terminal emulation out of the box, making to open a terminal buffer feel like a first class operation.
