CtrlP extension to manage your vim sessions

CtrlPSessions - manage your sessions

What is it?

This simple extension for CtrlP enables the following:

• global dir to store vim session files
• CtrlPSessions command to source a session from abovementioned dir
• MkS command to save or create a new session to abovementioned dir

Installation

With pathogen:

• git submodule add https://github.com/pielgrzym/ctrlp-sessions.git bundle/ctrlp-sessions
• add sessions to g:ctrlp_extensions - if you haven't got any other extensions just add let g:ctrlp_extensions = ['sessions'] to your .vimrc
• map something to :CtrlPSessions and optionally to :MkS

Commands

• CtrlPSessions - shows a list of files in your session directory; choosing a file and hitting enter will execute :wall and source chosen session replacing all currently open buffers
• MkS - if a session is already opened it will just overwrite it's file like :mks! <path to session files> would do, otherwise it will ask for session name and create a session file in g:ctrlp_session_dir

Settings

g:ctrlp_session_dir - directory relative to user $HOME dir that will hold the session files. Default value is: .vimsessions, which points to ~/.vimsessions.

Bugs/Limitations

• works only on Linux (hardcoded ls usage, sorry Windoze)
• expects all the files in the session directory to be session files not dirs
• no docs
