INTRODUCTION SessX defines some simple, but very useful, enhancements to the standard session operation. Includes support for saving and restoring the `SelX` plugin status - #vimscript #5875 NOTE: I really have no idea what the minimum vim version requirement is to run SessX and I don't know of a practical way of finding out (I've only used it on v8.2). The best I can suggest is to try it; it will probably work and if it doesn't then let me know and I'll see if I can sort it *** If you have any suggestions for improving this, then please let me know. If you think it's rubbish then PLEASE let me know why - it's far more useful than just 'voting it down' (which really doesn't help at all). Contact details are in the top of the README file *** BASIC CONCEPTS SessX uses the normal vim session facility; it doesn't replace it or subvert it any way - it just makes it a little more convenient to use. If no session is in force then SessX will not interfere SessX makes sure that you always save your session files in the editor's startup directory so that you can easily find them again later. To make best use of this, start vim from the root of the source tree you are working with You can easily give your session a unique name, and change it whenever you want, and SessX also reminds you to save your session on exiting vim If you are using the SelX plugin, then SessX shall also save the SelX selection/highlight configuration too In normal vim fashion, you can reload the session when you start vim with `vim -S {filename}` where `{filename}` defaults to `Session.vim` if not specified

install details

Just un-tar into ~/.vim/bundle/ as usual and read the README file for config options

sessx.tar.gz	27/04/20	2020-04-28	7.0	Richard Bentley-Green	Added MKSInfo command Added 'default' to setting StatusMsg colour. Without this, colour override  would be hit-and-miss
