session-lens VS persistence.nvim

I use auto-session for session management and session-lens telescope extension for switching the sessions. When I switch to a different session, auto-session clears all buffers from my current session, including the modified ones, without warning. I'm wondering if there are any ways to prevent losing my changes. For instance, can I save the modified buffers in the session and load them on session restore, or configure auto-session to give me a warning before switching to a new session if there are unsaved changes? Alternatively, is there a way to use Telescope to display a list of recently modified buffers, so that I can review them before switching sessions and take appropriate action?

auto-session * Automatically save AND load session based on cwd * Customizable with optional hooks when saving and loading a session * Has a companion plugin for switching sessions through a telescope picker called session-lens

Hey author here, auto-session paired with session-lens (telescope extension) would give you the switching capabilities you seem to be looking for.

Dropped something in your discord about it. I was also in the process of building a session switcher for my plugin as a telescope.nvim extension, finished today, probably still rough around the edges but here it is. https://github.com/rmagatti/session-lens

persistence.nvim for using session management which is useful

i use persistence.nvim plugin, and i map the commands on my dashboard so i can open my last session

I've been using vim sessions for a while now. Sessions can have their own configuration files and that's what I use for projects. For this to be actually convenient you'll need plugin like persistence.nvim to handle the sessions themselves (or make your own workflow).

I like the idea of a "config" module. Plugins like persistence and mason.nvim have it, they allow you to set variables without calling the main module.

persistence.nvim: Small session manager. I use some of its functions to also manage project local configs. It is because of this plugin I can use language servers the way I want.

persistence.nvim * Automatically save active session to a configurable directory * API to load most recent or current session based on cwd * No direct support for a telescope picker but could probably be setup with vim.ui.select()

yeah, I was planning on shimming this functionality out to another plugin. sessions have little to do with a startup gui imo. i mention in the docs using something like https://github.com/folke/persistence.nvim
