mansion is a Vim session manager. It's all about managing session files. So the options like 'sessionoptions', 'viewoptions', 'viminfo' are not touched. You may find it simple and convenient.
Commands provided are self-explained, such as SessionOpen, SessionClose, SessionSave, etc. See :com Session for all additional commands. The argument to a command is a session file specification(Look into mansion#session_path() for how an argument is translated to a full session file path.). And an extra :Restart command is also provided for restarting gVim.
Corresponding mappings are also provided. But you can disable them all if you wish(See below). See :exe 'map <Leader>s' for default mappings.
A session could be saved in the following occasions:
- Before Vim exits.
- After a user defined time(
g:mansion_save_time), repeatedly. - Whenever the focused buffer is different(
:SessionFollow).
- Set the central path of session files:
let g:sessiondir = '~/.vim/session'(default) - Disable auto-saving the current session before exiting Vim:
let g:mansion_no_save_on_exit = 1 - Disable default mappings:
let g:mansion_no_maps = 1 - Remember the session name when Vim exits:
set viminfo^=!
- Pathogen:
cd ~/.vim/bundle && git clone git://github.com/bohrshaw/vim-mansion.git - Vundle:
Add
Bundle 'bohrshaw/vim-mansion'to '.vimrc' and run:BundleInstall.
