Suggest me some startup screen plugins
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.

is there is a session manager plugin ?
Just for posterity since every other session plugin has been posted, vim-startify has autosave and autoload support

Do you use vim-startify, or used to? Send me your configs
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

Remember open buffers per project?
https://github.com/mhinz/vim-startify has also means to store sessions with command 'SSave'.

What is the coolest, unknown(-ish) plugin that you're using that other people could benefit from?
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.

Finally found a good replacement for Startify (mini.starter)
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:

One more nvim config with fennel, I am glad I moved (from vimscript)
I do restart vim when it's impossible to evaluate modified stuff in place to see the result immediatelly. Sometimes, when I have lots of buffers opened, need all of them and need to restart, a save a session with Startify :SSave command. On restart I press one key and have everything back.

Favourite files plugin
I use Startify, which does a good job with sessions and gives you the ability to create bookmarks and display them on the start screen. My mappings to create a new window or tab always end with invoking Startify, so it is like the new tab screen that web browsers have, showing bookmarks and recent files.

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:
-
NvimTree - how to get this behaviour?
I use a specific plugin for that, you just have to install it https://github.com/airblade/vim-rooter
-
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.
-
what are the most underrated plugins in your view?
vim-rooter/project.nvim: changes the working directory to the project root when you open a file or directory.
-
NeoRoot.lua: Change working directory like Monkey🐒
Cool plugin! Can you discuss how this differs from/improves upon vim-rooter and others?
-
NvimTree setting cwd to where current file was opened
I think you need rooter https://github.com/airblade/vim-rooter
