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.

How can I set my TAB key to be 4 spaces indent?
In addition to setting tabstop and shiftwidth, you might also like this plugin: https://github.com/tpope/vim-sleuth

[HELP] File type specific plugin is ignored
vim-sleuth auto detects tab size so...

What did I do to deserve this kind of torture
Just add https://github.com/tpope/vim-sleuth and never worry about it again.

Learning Rust, I didn't expect such a backstab
At the end of the day I don't really care which a project goes with, I've always just used vim-sleuth to automatically set my tab key to input whatever the current file's indentation is.
-
Trouble detecting shiftwidth correctly
VsCode has an internal function from auto-detecting indentation, while my config uses vim-sleuth with indent-blankline.nvim.

Builtin EditorConfig support
If you work a lot on legacy codebases, https://github.com/tpope/vim-sleuth is probably more what you need than editorconfig, as it will work even when one is not present.
-
New plugin for handling soft/hard line wrapping - wrapping.nvim
The primary advantage of using it is that it has built in heuristics for detecting line wrapping when opening a file (with some Treesitter magic for Markdown to make it more accurate), and also allows for manual swapping between wrapping types. You can think of it as the wrapping equivalent to vim-sleuth.
-
How do I force Neovim to always give me two space indents (or the correct indent) everywhere.
I just found about Tim Pope's sleuth: https://github.com/tpope/vim-sleuth It supports editorconfig but it also seems to have just better heuristics when an editorconfig file isn't present, so I just decided to replace `editorconfig-vim` with it.

Treesitter with vim-polyglot for indentation
I’ve been using tpope’s vim-sleuth. According to the readme, polyglot uses an optimized version of this plugin.
