nvim-possession VS vim-obsession

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).

You must be talkng about pair programming, because that's the only situation where any of this stuff would actually matter. I haven't tried it out, but one possible solution is to just use a shared session file. You can use something like https://github.com/tpope/vim-obsession to keep it updated, and then you can decide on some heuristic to reload the session file (like on a timer, or in an autocommand).

obsssion

If you use Tim Pope's obsession, you can disable it right after closing your tab, then re-open your session. The tab you closed will still be here.

These are the main characteristics of linefly: * Small size (564 lines of Lua) * Very fast startup (almost as fast as the stock Neovim statusline) * Simple tab support (workspace tabs only, not buffer tabs) * Winbar support (works well in combination with global statusline) * Git branch detection * Git status via Gitsigns * Diagnostic status * vim-obsession and possession.nvim session support * Minimal jank as mode changes or write-status or line number changes; I don't like it when the filename moves one or two characters left or right when there are state changes. Not here. * Direct colorscheme support for these themes: moonfly, nightfly (both my own themes) along with: catppuccin, dracula, edge, embark, everforest, gruvbox,gruvbox-material, kanagawa, nightfox, sonokai and tokyonight. All other themes will use best-guess-fallback colors derived from the theme in effect.

Nice work, I may have to try this out. Currently I rely on vim-obsession and a bash function to open vim with a session file matching the name of the directory I'm in.

Instead of a start screen, I prefer vim-obsession, Telescope, and which-key.nvim.
