suave.lua VS vim-rooter

suave

At least I have been doing this for like a year. nvim without an arg is one way to trigger my lovely session plugin.

I just realized that your need is to store different colorscheme for each project. That's exactly what I have achieved by suave.lua, maybe you could take a try :)

Project Link: nyngwang/suave.lua: Multi-tabs project session automation (github.com)

nyngwang/suave.lua is a session plugin:

What you need is an auto-session plugin. Then please try the one I made, especially for beginners: https://github.com/nyngwang/suave.lua

You can use nyngwang/suave.lua, which supports a different root on every tabpage. So:

Then here is my chance: You might want to try my plugin: https://github.com/nyngwang/suave.lua.

There are indeed three levels of Vim's "current directory", I made a summary during my development of the not well-known multi-tab project session automation plugin: https://github.com/nyngwang/suave.lua/issues/1. In short: it is not that simple.

This or users may have monorepo style projects and vim-rooter to auto-set cwd to specific directories within the project based on certain file markers (e.g. makefile, package.json, ...etc), to accomplish something like :e dir1/file.go | make would run make and then :e dir2/file2.ts | make would run npm.

maybe you are already doing this and you want to access files outside the project directory but if not I use vim-rooter to set the root dir of the project automatically when I open vim

The airblade/vim-rooter plugin is an essential part of my Neovim workflow. It automatically changes current directory (:h current-directory) for every buffer to a more natural one (like to path of its Git repository). For me this has the following benefits:

It depends where you open vim. If you are in home and open a file (even in sub directories) like nvim directory/file.txt, uour vim's current working directory (aka cwd) will be home. A way to make this automatic I think is the built in autocd (or something like that) and plugins like vim-rooter.

An alternative would be using a plugin like vim-rooter : https://github.com/airblade/vim-rooter

I just use rooter and avoid thinking about it...

There's vim-rooter, which is great.

No, it doesn't change current directory. For that, use sessions or airblade/vim-rooter (or wait around couple of months for planned 'mini.root' :) ). And, of course, you can create custom items which will change current directory.
