netrw made better
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.

How to go up a directory while inside of telescope.nvim?
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

You don't need 'vim-rooter' (usually) or How to set up smart autochange of current directory
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:
-
Vim Issue with opened buffer file location
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.
-
How to stop Telescope from changing the root directory after opening a file?
An alternative would be using a plugin like vim-rooter : https://github.com/airblade/vim-rooter
- NvimTree - how to get this behaviour?
-
How to properly cd, so plugins pick up project root?
I just use rooter and avoid thinking about it...
-
How to automatically cd to the git root of the current buffer?
There's vim-rooter, which is great.

What’s the best start up screen written in Lua?
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.

Should vim-matchup go into neovim core?
It seems like https://github.com/andymass/vim-matchup is a superior version of both of them, at least that's how it's advertized.

Thank you for you answer! This is the best option I've found by far. But some aditional steps need to be done to enable this behavior. It is documented here vim-matchup

vim-matchup does both of this things

Matching of Bracket Under Cursor Not Working
If you don't wanna deal with matchparen, you could also consider using vim-matchup, which has better performance than matchparen and can match way more tokens and keywords.

vim-matchup improves these motions.and has a lot of nice features.
