vim-session VS vimspector

https://github.com/xolox/vim-session

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.

There are DAP extensions for both Vim (e.g. https://github.com/puremourning/vimspector) and NeoVim (https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap). I can't speak as to the experience in detail (I think I briefly played with nvim-dap a year or two ago), but I suspect that for most it will be good enough.

I struggle a bit to put what i want into words but i still try my best.So i got some plugins likehttps://github.com/sindrets/diffview.nvimhttps://github.com/harrisoncramer/gitlab.nvimhttps://github.com/puremourning/vimspectorand so on (but those are the one which i need that "feature" the most).

The actual title is "Vimspector - A multi-language debugging plugin for Vim".

It is a UI around DAP: https://github.com/puremourning/vimspector#what-vimspector-i...

vimspector

I do think VSCode is a great tool and I recommend it frequently to people, but I still want to set the record straight here. Yes, vim is obviously limited in the sense that as a CLI app it doesn't draw it's own PDF or HTML windows, that's fair. But it can remote control your favorite PDF viewer or browser for roughly the same functionality. I'm currently writing my thesis using vimtex and it's quite smooth. And all the other stuff you mention is implemented quite competently by various plugins like vim-fugitive, coc.nvim, vimspector and copilot.vim.

You could try vimspector. It's main target is vim and not neovim.

I use vim for C++ coding, however it is a bit difficult to set up to make it productive. I use YouCompleteMe [0] for autocompletion, Vimspector [1] with the C++ plugin for debugging, ALE [2] for linting, along with a few other general plugins (such as NerdTREE for file view).

For debugging normally I'd throw a breakpoint() and then have it launch pdb in a terminal from within nvim, but vimspector also exists if you'd rather.
