persistence.nvim VS harpoon

persistence.nvim for using session management which is useful

i use persistence.nvim plugin, and i map the commands on my dashboard so i can open my last session

I've been using vim sessions for a while now. Sessions can have their own configuration files and that's what I use for projects. For this to be actually convenient you'll need plugin like persistence.nvim to handle the sessions themselves (or make your own workflow).

I like the idea of a "config" module. Plugins like persistence and mason.nvim have it, they allow you to set variables without calling the main module.

persistence.nvim: Small session manager. I use some of its functions to also manage project local configs. It is because of this plugin I can use language servers the way I want.

persistence.nvim * Automatically save active session to a configurable directory * API to load most recent or current session based on cwd * No direct support for a telescope picker but could probably be setup with vim.ui.select()

yeah, I was planning on shimming this functionality out to another plugin. sessions have little to do with a startup gui imo. i mention in the docs using something like https://github.com/folke/persistence.nvim

A mini harpoon. Basically, a floating window with a list of files, and a way to navigate to them.

Check out harpoon which lets you pin buffers, that you frequently want to visit the most. For the rest Telescope buffers should suffice I believe.

Navigating open files I use harpoon https://github.com/ThePrimeagen/harpoon

Netrw + vim-vinegar works for me. In conjunction with harpoon and a bufferline and maybe vim-eunuch, it works out pretty well

Check out harpoon and other.nvim for improving your workflow. I've only used harpoon and am really satisfied with using it. other is on my checklist, so you might also test it out.

got a question about other. I am using harppon.nvim atm. What’s the benefit of using other or do they complement each other?

Harpoon for quick buffer switching that persists across sessions

Not sure if it’s helpful, but Harpoon allows per-branch marks, so that code might be relevant if you go down that path. https://github.com/ThePrimeagen/harpoon

This does sound like harpoon a bit.
