Possible to save session state with 3 seperate files loaded in one session?












1















Alot of times I will have a vim session with three split windows with three different files. But something might come up where I need to switch projects, close the vim session, and come back to it later.



Is there a way to have it where I can save the state of that vim session with 3 seperate files loaded, close it, and come back to it later? With out having to vsplit each file manually again.

          Check out `:h Session'



          You can save a session by :mksession session_name.vim and you can load a session by :source session_name.vim where session_name.vim is the name of the file that vim stores the info of a session.



          If you use :mksession without a filename, it will by default be saved into a file called Session.vim in the current working directory.



          You can configure what settings of the current session you want to be saved for later use by setting up :h 'sessionoptions'
