FAQPage Schema

How do I automatically manage project indexing in Neovim?▼

Automatic project indexing in Neovim is managed by detecting directories containing `.nvim` and maintaining `.nvim/project_marker` files. This creates a persistent cache of project information, keeping your project list updated on startup and directory changes.

What is the best way to keep a persistent cache of Neovim projects?▼

A persistent cache of Neovim projects is maintained by tracking `.nvim/project_marker` files. The cache updates automatically during editor startup, directory changes, and marker file modifications, ensuring quick access to your codebases.

Does this project discovery tool require specific marker files to function?▼

Project discovery requires directories to contain a `.nvim` folder with a `.nvim/project_marker` file. This marker-based detection allows the system to register projects and retrieve extra top-level directories for the cache.

Can I register extra top-level directories for code navigation in Neovim?▼

Extra top-level directories can be registered for code navigation alongside detected projects. The system supports project registration and retrieval of these directories, keeping the workspace index current without manual intervention.

When do I need a project marker file for Neovim workspace management?▼

A project marker file is needed when you want a directory recognized by Neovim workspace management. Placing a `.nvim/project_marker` file ensures the directory is indexed and added to the persistent cache for quick switching.
