vim-polyglot VS vim-startify

I'm currently on an old setup (using coc and polyglot) and nvim v0.6.1. I'll be updating to a more modern setup within next year, using the native lsp and building nvim more frequently. But that's not today.

So I did some digging and I found out that vim-polyglot uses a different syntax file than Vim's default for PHP files. When I loaded vim-polyglot's syntax file into my ~/.vim/syntax, I encountered the same issue as you.

Try this: https://github.com/sheerun/vim-polyglot You can install plugin or copy-paste files for desired filetype

I think you mean vim-polyglot? Great plugin. Pre-treesitter it was indespensible.

Usually this is handled inside the :compiler scripts. vim-polyglot is a collection of ftplugins that includes a bunch of :compiler plugins.

Get polyglot installed in your vimfiles/pack//start folder along with whatever 4 Tim Pope plugins you love the most and :CocInstall your LSP(s)

https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox and https://github.com/sheerun/vim-polyglot are Vim plugins that work in Neovim, but they don't allow you to use treesitter, so if you don't want to use treesitter use them.

I'm currently using alpha.nvim (https://github.com/goolord/alpha-nvim). It tries to be more generic than the others, to the point it can recreate most of the other popular ones. It even has template for for example the dashboard layout. startup-nvim (https://github.com/startup-nvim/startup.nvim) seems to do a similar thing, although I dont' have experience with that one. The only other one I've tried before is the classic vim-startify (https://github.com/mhinz/vim-startify), which is a little older I think and locks you into its layout.

Tbh, startify made me more curious about all the vim possibilities. https://github.com/mhinz/vim-startify

Just for posterity since every other session plugin has been posted, vim-startify has autosave and autoload support

I am working on a, from scratch, rebuild of the ever classic vim-startify for neovim with a focus on extreme extensibility. I also want it to be as much of a drop in replacement as possible, and don't want to write myself into a corner with some design choices I'm taking

https://github.com/mhinz/vim-startify has also means to store sessions with command 'SSave'.

might be well known but i like https://github.com/mhinz/vim-startify easy to use start screen with most recently used lists of files, etc.

Startify

mhinz/vim-startify - Start page

I was trying to center the startup screen for vim-startify and went down the rabbit hole of looking for a different startup plugin. My main use is that I want to start my already existing startify sessions as everything else I do with Telescope. I found mini.starter and it is working exactly as I want it to so I thought I would share for others that look for something similar. Don't get put off by the many components of the plugin. They are not loaded if you don't need them. Here is my a screenshot and my config for a minimal, centered, startup:

I am using :e# and ctrl-^ a lot to switch between most recent files (alternate-file), but if I open a file with startify , those commands will error with E23: No alternate file.
