  • Auto-Session Removes modified buffers
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 13 Jul 2023
    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?
  • which session manager for nvim

    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
  • Any good ways to switch between existing sessions?

    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
