Simple dashboard with recent files

Open rambip opened this issue 4 years ago • 9 comments

What? The only dashboard plugin that I know is quite old, and it really looks like emacs, it has a style that I don't like.

Why? I would like a much simpler dashboard, with a message, a list of recent files and the ability to do some customization easily (colors, ascii art for the message ...)

Potential existing implementations: I don't think they are ... There is of course the dashboard plugin And a mru vim plugin

I just discovered vim-startify

It is almost exactly what I wanted, I don't know if there is still intrest for that ...

I use startify but there isn't a Lua version. There is just dashboard-nvim that has a different view. No recent files and I don't remember if there are bookmarks...

@Mte90 Try alpha-nvim.

I did months ago :-) I contributed to that repo too :-)

Is alpha-nvim a good replacement for startify?

I think yes but with some issue. The dev has no so much time on working on that so tickets and pr are not followed so much. I was able to replicate in my dotfiles the look and feel of startify but is not yet perfect (missing center feature).

I've recently written a mini.starter - module of mini.nvim plugin. By default it displays sessions (if 'mini.sessions' is set up), MRU files and some actions, but all items are fully customizable. Looks can also be customized using builtin functions or with your own ones if you don't mind some Lua coding. Help has configurations similar to 'vim-startify' and 'dashboard-nvim'.
