project.nvim VS neovim-session-manager

Here is what I have searched: 1. https://github.com/ahmedkhalf/project.nvim/tree/main : plug manage already exist projects, not create 2. https://neovim.io/doc/user/lsp.html : too complicated 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NL8D8EkphUw&ab_channel=JoseanMartinez : basic tutorial 4. https://www.reddit.com/r/neovim/comments/ysg4wb/lsp_action_on_multiple_files/ : Mentioned use quickfix, but seems too be a workaround. Not a nice solution.

If someone is interested on this, there is an issue for a feature: https://github.com/ahmedkhalf/project.nvim/issues/73

You can use one of the "rooter" plugins like this one to dynamically change your working directory: https://github.com/ahmedkhalf/project.nvim

https://github.com/ahmedkhalf/project.nvim I have never used this but it seems to involve defining "projects", and any time you enter a project, whatever settings you require (such as current working directory) will get set up for you.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but projects.nvim automatically changes your pwd in nvim. If you then use telescope's find_files and to search in the pwd, you basically get project-scoped searches. https://github.com/ahmedkhalf/project.nvim

This works very well: https://github.com/ahmedkhalf/project.nvim

Maybe you have ahmedkhalf/project.nvim setup. In this case, use `manual_mode` as indicated in the readme https://github.com/ahmedkhalf/project.nvim. It worked for me

Not sure what you mean by that. Perhaps your looking for a fuzzy finder. I use telescope for most of this. It can be used to find any file in your project and there's extensions for pulling up projects

project.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.

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.

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.
