  1. startup.nvim

    A highly configurable neovim startup screen

    I'm using alpha.nvim. But I also know this new plugin (https://github.com/startup-nvim/startup.nvim).

  3. vim-rooter

    Changes Vim working directory to project root.

    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.

  4. vim-obsession

    obsession.vim: continuously updated session files

    Instead of a start screen, I prefer vim-obsession, Telescope, and which-key.nvim.

  5. which-key.nvim

    💥 Create key bindings that stick. WhichKey helps you remember your Neovim keymaps, by showing available keybindings in a popup as you type.

    Instead of a start screen, I prefer vim-obsession, Telescope, and which-key.nvim.
