I use the following code in my plugins directory to ease session persistence. If I want my session to persist I use :mks!
and then whenever I open the session.vim
file, my session is restored. If I am working from a restored session and I close Vim, the session is saved automatically. Drawback is that it makes editing session.vim
a bit cumbersome.
au BufRead session.vim so % au VimLeave * call SaveCurrentSession() function! SaveCurrentSession() if v:this_session != "" exe "mksession! " . v:this_session endif endfunction
