  • What is the simple straight answer to create lsp workspace and add files to workspace in neovim ?
    1 project | /r/neovim | 5 Dec 2023
    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.
  • Is there a way of setting a global variable when switching the project?
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 5 Jul 2023
    If someone is interested on this, there is an issue for a feature: https://github.com/ahmedkhalf/project.nvim/issues/73
  • Telescope: how to search project directory?
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 5 Jun 2023
    You can use one of the "rooter" plugins like this one to dynamically change your working directory: https://github.com/ahmedkhalf/project.nvim
  • R code chunks not showing using Nvim-R for R Markdown
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 19 May 2023
    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.
  • How to manage projects efficiently in neovim using telescope
    5 projects | /r/neovim | 29 Mar 2023
    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
  • Smart current working directory
    1 project | /r/neovim | 24 Mar 2023
    This works very well: https://github.com/ahmedkhalf/project.nvim
  • Nvim-tree opens the git root directory instead of the one passed as argument
    1 project | /r/neovim | 8 Mar 2023
    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
  • Noob question about projects
    4 projects | /r/neovim | 26 Jan 2023
    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
  • olddirs.nvim: oldfiles, but for directories

    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.
