Rename tab
`:tcd` into that project's folder. I'm using workspaces.nvim to create aliases for my project's folders, so I can simply do `:WorkspacesOpen MyProject`

olddirs.nvim: oldfiles, but for directories
workspaces.nvim.
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.

Comparision, project.nvim vs. telescope-project.nvim
I use https://github.com/natecraddock/workspaces.nvim and their compatible session manager. I have not tried the other two but workspaces works well and has done nice integrations (including telescope).

I didn't know before that having multiple Neovim instances is bad
I use only one neovim instance and with the plugin https://github.com/natecraddock/workspaces.nvim I change between repositories.

Which, in your opinion, is the best session management plugin?
I'm biased, but my favorite is a combination of workspaces.nvim and sessions.nvim (I created both). Both are extremely simple frameworks meant to be customized to your needs. Not for everyone, but if you are looking for something simple its worth giving a look.
