Easily persist and restore your editing sessions
The easysession Emacs package is a lightweight session manager for Emacs that can persist and restore file editing buffers, indirect buffers (clones), Dired buffers, the tab-bar, and Emacs frames (including or excluding the geometry: frame size, width, and height). It offers a convenient and effortless way to manage Emacs editing sessions and utilizes built-in Emacs functions to persist and restore frames. With Easysession.el, you can effortlessly switch between sessions, ensuring a consistent and uninterrupted editing experience. Key features include: - Minimalist design focused on performance and simplicity, avoiding unnecessary complexity. - Quickly switch between sessions while editing without disrupting the frame geometry, enabling you to resume work immediately. - Save and load file editing buffers, indirect buffers/clones, Dired buffers, windows/splits, the Emacs frame (including support for the tab-bar). - Helper functions: Switch to a session (i.e., load and change the current session) with `easysession-switch-to', load the Emacs editing session with `easysession-load', save the Emacs editing session with `easysession-save' and `easysession-save-as', delete the current Emacs session with `easysession-delete', and rename the current Emacs session with `easysession-rename'.

To facilitate session management, consider using the following key mappings: C-c l for switching sessions with easysession-switch-to, and C-c s for saving the current session with easysession-save-as: (global-set-key (kbd "C-c l") 'easysession-switch-to) (global-set-key (kbd "C-c s") 'easysession-save-as) Links: ------ - More information about easysession (Frequently asked questions, usage...): https://github.com/jamescherti/easysession.el
