How to save a session in Vim

Question

Depending on my task in Vim I have several tabs open. How can I save different sessions for later use? Thanks!!

Answer 1

Hi there,

You want something like

:mksession ~/mysession.vim

Then later you can just source that vim file and you'll have your old session back.

Answer 2

You might want to set these session options in your vimrc. Especially options is annoying when you've changed your vimrc after you've saved the session.

set ssop-=options " do not store global and local values in a session set ssop-=folds " do not store folds
