Neovim Startup Screen
In this article, let’s go through plugins that we can use to create a fancy startup screen.
vim-startify
Let’s start with vim-startify which should be familiar to most Vimmers.
vim-startify is a plugin that shows recently used files, bookmarks, commands, and sessions that were saved to a certain directory.
It is easy to get it up and running. E.g. using packer.nvim,
use { "mhinz/vim-startify" }
You can easily manage the sessions using the session commands.
:SLoad load a session |startify-:SLoad|
:SSave[!] save a session |startify-:SSave|
:SDelete[!] delete a session |startify-:SDelete|
:SClose close a session |startify-:SClose|
Customization is easy using the global variables (:h startify-options
)
