nvim-possession VS sessions.nvim

Yes, you can use the post_hook callback in nvim-possession, for example.

This morning while reading the documentation of an awesome looking session plugin nvim-possession, I realized that I had a hidden frustration.

nvim-possession

I recently wrote nvim-possession: it isn't as feature-complete as most other session plugins, but it does only and exactly what you need (which is its market proposition), and it looks cool ;-)!

All the new commands are described in detail in the README and help file, have a look and try it out! Link to the repository.

P. S. Do you mind if I open a PR to support yet another session manager? :p

There are already some quite good session managers out there, however for my use case they all seemed to add many features I didn't need and to require learning commands, mappings and events that I didn't use. As such, I wanted to create a minimal sessions picker that only exposes listing, creation and deletion of sessions, ideally with some visual candies and browsing to make it appealing. And nvim-possession is just that: it is aimed to the ones who aren't using sessions yet (it's still one of the least used vim features from what I hear) and only want the bare minimum without digging into bigger plugins. Moreover if you already use fzf-lua you can just install this on top (as most others use Telescope only instead).

sessions

I'm biased, but my favorite is a combination of workspaces.nvim and sessions.nvim (I created both). Both are extremely simple frameworks meant to be customized to your needs. Not for everyone, but if you are looking for something simple its worth giving a look.

sessions.nvim * Manually save and load sessions to/from a configurable directory * Automatically save active session
