persistence.nvim VS vim-illuminate

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

The vim-illuminate plugin offers the goto_next_reference() and goto_prev_reference() to navigate to next/previous reference of the word under the cursor.

vim-illuminate (https://github.com/RRethy/vim-illuminate) might be what you're looking for. It also has Alt-N/Alt-P mappings by default for jumping between matches.

You can add a prefix that's specific to your plugin, or just have a single field specific to your plugin's name which takes a table. Alternatively, in one of my plugins I use .configure strictly for configuration, which doesn't init the plugin, see https://github.com/RRethy/vim-illuminate/issues/112. The majority of configuration shouldn't be needed though if you have strong defaults, just look at tpope plugins.

Found it, vim-illuminate.

I think you're looking for vim-illuminate.

Does it do anything different from illuminate?

Ok, my guess is that you are using RRethy/vim-illuminate, xiyaowong/nvim-cursorword, or mini.cursorword. All of them use underline as default highlighting for word under cursor. And that you tried ellisonleao/gruvbox.nvim variant of Gruvbox, which doesn't explicitly support none of them.

setup is deprecated, use the opts table directly. Related stuff. Note that Leap is internally lazy-loaded anyway.
