1. Persistence                                  *persistence.nvim-persistence*

**Persistence** is a simple lua plugin for automated session management.


FEATURES                               *persistence.nvim-persistence-features*

- automatically saves the active session under `~/.local/state/nvim/sessions` on exit
- simple API to restore the current or last session


REQUIREMENTS                       *persistence.nvim-persistence-requirements*

- Neovim >= 0.7.2


INSTALLATION                       *persistence.nvim-persistence-installation*

Install the plugin with your preferred package manager:


LAZY.NVIM ~

>lua
    -- Lua
    {
      "folke/persistence.nvim",
      event = "BufReadPre", -- this will only start session saving when an actual file was opened
      opts = {
        -- add any custom options here
      }
    }
<


CONFIGURATION                     *persistence.nvim-persistence-configuration*

Persistence comes with the following defaults:

>lua
    {
      dir = vim.fn.stdpath("state") .. "/sessions/", -- directory where session files are saved
      save_empty = false, -- don't save if there are no open file buffers
    }
<


  [!TIP] To configure what should be saved in your session, check |:h
  'sessionoptions'|

USAGE                                     *persistence.nvim-persistence-usage*

**Persistence** works well with plugins like `startify` or `dashboard`. It will
never restore a session automatically, but you can of course write an autocmd
that does exactly that if you want.

>lua
    -- load the session for the current directory
    vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>qs", function() require("persistence").load() end)
    
    -- select a session to load
    vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>qS", function() require("persistence").select() end)
    
    -- load the last session
    vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>ql", function() require("persistence").load({ last = true }) end)
    
    -- stop Persistence => session won't be saved on exit
    vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>qd", function() require("persistence").stop() end)
<


EVENTS                                   *persistence.nvim-persistence-events*

- **PersistenceLoadPre**before loading a session
- **PersistenceLoadPost**after loading a session
- **PersistenceSavePre**before saving a session
- **PersistenceSavePost**after saving a session
