telescope-project.nvim VS vim-session

Projects are handle by the telescope-project plugin (https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-project.nvim) Does is change when you open folder by its name ? With “lvim .” ? With just “lvim” ?

I found this plugin for telescope that does all of the above, except that it requires a redundant step where even though I'm inside a project, I still have to select the project before I can search / grep inside. Basically, I want to create a mapping that allows me to search inside the project without having to always select the project that I am in (it should be able to detect that the file from which I am searching belongs to such-and-such project and so can instantly search from within that project).

telescope-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.

This seems to be a https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-project.nvim

Few months ago I tried https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-project.nvim but it does not restore windows layout (seem to only cd into project dir). Are there any other session managers that support features listed above?

Anyhow, I started clearing the last requirements standing by installing telescope-project.nvim and todo-comments.nvim. They were a convenient choice, as both extend the already mentioned Telescope plugin. Seamless terminal integration was possibly the feature I was looking for the most. As I hoped, Neovim offers transparent terminal emulation out of the box, making to open a terminal buffer feel like a first class operation.

To be fair, there is telescope-project, which almost does what I'm looking for. The only drawback for me is, that I want a command, that I can call with a single keystroke. telescope-project always shows a list of all registered projects and you have to select the first one, which adds friction to the editing-flow.

I actually have in normal mode ,ss for save session and ,so for opening them. Central location of session dirs and that's it. Save session saves everything from files open, positions, tabs, you name it.

I'm looking to switch from vim-session to a Lua based session management plugin (i.e. :mksession wrapper). In awesome-neovim it looks like there are a couple of alternatives. I have relatively simple needs: I want a command for manually creating a new session, and automatic saving of an opened sesion when I quit Neovim. Bonus points for a built-in Telescope session picker, but I can always use (telescope_sessions_picker.nvim) otherwise. Do you guys have any advice?

You can use sessions to switch between different projects. They store your tabs, buffers, etc. Check out :help mksession. I personally use vim-session which is a wrapper around mksession which allows you to use it more lazily.

Check out :help :mksession. There's also a great plugin called vim-session that is a wrapper around :mksession making it easier to use, that adds commands like :SaveSession and :OpenSession that you can tab-complete to choose between all your saved sessions.

I started seriously using sessions a couple of months ago and it's awesome. Although the built in :mksession works I like to use vim-session which is a wrapper for :mksession that adds stuff like auto saving sessions on exit etc which I love.
