fzf-session.vim

This plugin adds support for searching, saving, and deleting Vim sessions with fzf.vim. Heavily inspired by vim-ctrlp-session, which adds session management to ctrlp.vim.

Features

Fuzzy search vim sessions using fzf.vim, with a single configurable location for storing all session files.

Requirements

• fzf
• fzf.vim

Installation

NeoBundle:

NeoBundle 'dominickng/fzf-session.vim'

Vundle:

Plugin 'dominickng/fzf-session.vim'

vim-plug:

Plug 'dominickng/fzf-session.vim'

Configuration

There is one configurable option: the directory to store the session files. If not set, the plugin will use the containing directory of the current open file when a session is created.

let g:fzf_session_path = $HOME . '/tmp/vim/session'

Usage

The commands are modelled on those of vim-ctrlp-session, as much of the implementation is the same.

:Session {name}

Create a session called {name}. The session will be automatically tracked.

:SLoad {name}

Load session called {name}.

:SDelete {name}

Delete session called {name}.

:SQuit

Stop tracking the current active session and close all buffers.

:SList

List all available sessions.

:Sessions

Launch fzf prompt for fuzzy searching available sessions.

Default actions in the prompt:

• <Ctrl-X>: Delete session under the cursor
• Any other key: Open session under the cursor

Mappings

You may wish to create shorter mappings to the above commands, e.g.

" Launches fzf prompt to search sessions with <leader>l.
nnoremap <leader>l :Sessions<CR>

" Starts the prompt to save a session, awaiting a name to be entered.
nnoremap <leader>s :Session<Space>
