I've been trying Helix and really like it. But as someone coming from VS Code, I've been relying a lot on VS Code automatically saving and restoring sessions on restart (things like opened files, unsaved files, cursor position, etc.). It's helpful when I occasionally restart my computer. How do you that in Helix (or for that matter in Neovim)?
- worksonmine 1y agoI don't know about Helix but Neovim (and vim) has something called sessions and it does everything but unsaved files. By default it's manual but it wouldn't be too difficult to automate. A very simple way could just create/update the session on BufWritePost and ExitPre. Then create an alias to open Neovim with that session: 'nvim -S .session.vim'. You'll get an error if the session doesn't exist but it's easy to dismiss. There are probably plugins that do this in a more seamless way though if you prefer.
