nvim-possession VS vim-prosession

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).

Why isn't everyone just using `vim-prosession` ?

prosession

You could pair obsession with vim-prosession and forget about it.

Have you tried https://github.com/dhruvasagar/vim-prosession? It automatically starts/loads a new session for every git repository you open in vim. It also lets you switch between existing sessions.
