A very simple session manager for NeoVim.
session-manager is a very simple session manager for NeoVim. I've created this plugin because other "simple" session managers weren't really simple enough for my needs. This session manager also only saves sessions if a directory already contains a session file, still allowing you to use vim for its intended purpose, editing small files, without creating session files everywhere.
Using vim-plug:
vim.call("plug#begin")
local Plug = vim.fn["plug#"]
Plug ("berylllium/session-manager", {['tag'] = 'v1.0.1'})
vim.call("plug#end")The default configuration is as follows:
| Entry | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| session_path | ".nvim/Session.vim" | The path to the generated session file. Relative to the current working directory. |
| save_session_if_not_exist | false | Automatically save the current session on exit even when there is no currently saved session. |
| load_session_if_exist | true | Automatically load the currently saved session on entry if it exists. |
An example of a modified configuration looks as follows:
require("session-manager").setup({
session_path = ".mydir/myses.vim",
save_session_if_exist = false
})In order to use session-manager, you have to explicitly call the setup function, passing in any configurations you'd like to change.
require("session-manager").setup({})By default, session-manager will not save a session if there isn't an already saved session for that directory. In order to save a session for the first time, run the :SessionManagerSave command. This command can also be ran at any time to make a manual save. In order to disable this functionality, set the save_session_if_not_exist config to true.
