pear-tree VS vim-startify

After some digging, it turned out the problem was caused by the plugin tmsvg/pear-tree. The solution outlined here worked for me.

https://github.com/tmsvg/pear-tree (the one I use)

In general, having an LSP update the document at unexpected times is problematic for me (especially when the document being checked at random times leads to big flickers of temporary syntax error worse than what I installed pear-tree to reduce from typing things like quotes).

tmsvg/pear-tree for an extensible autocloser (I hate closing GHC {-# LANGUAGE ... #-} myself, and it's not built into any of the common plugins AFAIK)

Most pair matching plugins will let you type the closing brackets explicitly, and skip over them if they're already there. For instance, in pear-tree you'll want to enable Smart Pairing. So that's the easiest answer to your question. If your current plugin doesn't support that sort of behavior, I'd suggest finding one that does; it makes things so much nicer!

Myself, I have been and continue to be a pear-tree user. Works reasonably well, but it does seem to be an abandoned plugin these days. Though I do like that pear-tree has tag pairing support in addition to traditional bracket pairing.

I know this is not the answer you're looking for, but I have tried a lot of auto pairs like plugins and I always have had problems with any of them. This week tried Lexima instead of https://github.com/tmsvg/pear-tree, and I must admit that Lexima is pretty cool. You could try with Lexima and see if it fits your needs.

I'm currently using alpha.nvim (https://github.com/goolord/alpha-nvim). It tries to be more generic than the others, to the point it can recreate most of the other popular ones. It even has template for for example the dashboard layout. startup-nvim (https://github.com/startup-nvim/startup.nvim) seems to do a similar thing, although I dont' have experience with that one. The only other one I've tried before is the classic vim-startify (https://github.com/mhinz/vim-startify), which is a little older I think and locks you into its layout.

Tbh, startify made me more curious about all the vim possibilities. https://github.com/mhinz/vim-startify

Just for posterity since every other session plugin has been posted, vim-startify has autosave and autoload support

I am working on a, from scratch, rebuild of the ever classic vim-startify for neovim with a focus on extreme extensibility. I also want it to be as much of a drop in replacement as possible, and don't want to write myself into a corner with some design choices I'm taking

https://github.com/mhinz/vim-startify has also means to store sessions with command 'SSave'.

might be well known but i like https://github.com/mhinz/vim-startify easy to use start screen with most recently used lists of files, etc.

Startify

mhinz/vim-startify - Start page

I was trying to center the startup screen for vim-startify and went down the rabbit hole of looking for a different startup plugin. My main use is that I want to start my already existing startify sessions as everything else I do with Telescope. I found mini.starter and it is working exactly as I want it to so I thought I would share for others that look for something similar. Don't get put off by the many components of the plugin. They are not loaded if you don't need them. Here is my a screenshot and my config for a minimal, centered, startup:

I am using :e# and ctrl-^ a lot to switch between most recent files (alternate-file), but if I open a file with startify , those commands will error with E23: No alternate file.
