A VIM plugin to handle sessions like a pro.
It leverages vim-obsession and allows switching between multiple sessions cleanly, the idea is to maintain one session per project (directory) and switch between them when we need to switch context, automatically loading along with it the various files, settings etc ensuring compete isolation between projects. Now there's little need to launch multiple vim instances for separate sessions (projects), you can simply switch between them with ease.
ProSession uses a file name format similar to the undofile
name format.
:Prosession
provides existing session paths from the sessions directory from
g:prosession_dir
(set to ~/.vim/session/
by default) or also completes
paths from the file system which you can use to start new sessions for them.
For more details check :help prosession
.
Prosession also provides a telescope extension, to list and switch to other
sessions with Telescope, you can use Telescope prosession
and that launches
telescope picker with list of all existing sessions that you can find through
and select to switch to it
