Question / Problem and steps to reproduce

When using Minimap with auto_start, the command :mksession will also save the minimap window with its "filename" -MINIMAP- which will make loading the session file fail as Minimap will auto-start too when reopening the files from the session and thus try to open a minimap window with the same name as the one recorded in the session.

Error Message:

I believe Minimap should prevent Vim from saving its own windows in the session as they are unusable anyway since their contents are not stored in the file system. Even if untrue, it should at least provide an option to activate this in order to not break :mksession when auto_start is enabled.

Could this problem be solved by toggling the minimap closed before you make the session?

[ZNielsen]

I don't see an autocmd in the documentation that fires when :mksession is ran. Without that, I'm not sure what minimap can do. If I'm missing it, please point it out and I'll mark this as a feature request.

Without an autocmd, you might look into making a custom mapping or function that closes the minimap, calls mksession, then reopens the minimap.

I had this very similar issue based on what I see in Session.vim.txt
The error for me was when using fzf.vim with :Rg!
