💾 Persistence
Persistence is a simple lua plugin for automated session management.
✨ Features
- automatically saves the active session under
.config/nvim/sessions
on exit - simple API to restore the current or last session
⚡️ Requirements
- Neovim >= 0.5.0
📦 Installation
Install the plugin with your preferred package manager:
packer
-- Lua
use({
"folke/persistence.nvim",
event = "VimEnter",
module = "persistence",
config = function()
require("persistence").setup()
end,
})
⚙️ Configuration
Persistence comes with the following defaults:
{
dir = vim.fn.expand(vim.fn.stdpath("config") .. "/sessions/"), -- directory where session files are saved
options = { "buffers", "curdir", "tabpages", "winsize" }, -- sessionoptions used for saving
}
🚀 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.
-- restore the session for the current directory
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("n", "<leader>qs", [[<cmd>lua require("persistence").load()<cr>]])
-- restore the last session
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("n", "<leader>ql", [[<cmd>lua require("persistence").load(last=true)<cr>]])
-- stop Persistence => session won't be saved on exit
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("n", "<leader>qd", [[<cmd>lua require("persistence").stop()<cr>]])
