CtrlP-Sesh.vim - manage your sessions

What is it?

This simple extension for CtrlP enables the following:

• global directory to store vim session files
• another global directory to store custom configurations for those vim sessions
• CtrlP frontend and the command SaveSesh for basic session manipulation

Installation

With vim-plug

• Just add the usual Plug "eiyashou/ctrlp-sesh.vim" to your .vimrc/init.vim
• add sessions to g:ctrlp_extensions in order to enable this extension.
• map something to :CtrlPOpenSesh and optionally to :SaveSesh.

Commands

• CtrlPOpenSesh - shows a list of files in your session directory; choosing a file and hitting enter will execute :wall, close all current buffers and source chosen session replacing all currently open buffers
• CtrlPRenameSesh - shows a list of sessions and allows you to rename one, alongside its configuration file
• CtrlPDeleteSesh - shows a list of sessions and allows you to delete one, alongside its configuration file
• SaveSesh - if a session is already opened it will just overwrite it's file like :mks! <path to session files> would do, otherwise it will ask for session name and create a session file in g:ctrlp_seshdir

Settings

g:ctrlp_seshdir - directory relative to user $HOME dir that will hold the session files. Default value is: .vimsessions, which points to ~/.vimsessions.

Bugs/Limitations

• works only on Linux (hardcoded ls usage, sorry Windoze)
• expects all the files in the session directory to be session files not dirs
• no docs
