Vim After 15 Years
https://github.com/xolox/vim-session
I actually have in normal mode ,ss for save session and ,so for opening them. Central location of session dirs and that's it. Save session saves everything from files open, positions, tabs, you name it.

Which, in your opinion, is the best session management plugin?
I'm looking to switch from vim-session to a Lua based session management plugin (i.e. :mksession wrapper). In awesome-neovim it looks like there are a couple of alternatives. I have relatively simple needs: I want a command for manually creating a new session, and automatic saving of an opened sesion when I quit Neovim. Bonus points for a built-in Telescope session picker, but I can always use (telescope_sessions_picker.nvim) otherwise. Do you guys have any advice?

Can you isolate buffers to a specific tab?
You can use sessions to switch between different projects. They store your tabs, buffers, etc. Check out :help mksession. I personally use vim-session which is a wrapper around mksession which allows you to use it more lazily.

How to handle working with multiple directories?
Check out :help :mksession. There's also a great plugin called vim-session that is a wrapper around :mksession making it easier to use, that adds commands like :SaveSession and :OpenSession that you can tab-complete to choose between all your saved sessions.

TIL - what is your most recent vim discovery?
I started seriously using sessions a couple of months ago and it's awesome. Although the built in :mksession works I like to use vim-session which is a wrapper for :mksession that adds stuff like auto saving sessions on exit etc which I love.

Which, in your opinion, is the best session management plugin?
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.
