Saving sessions

[davejacobs]

This is great. How can I save a session to see later?

If you don't expect the tags to be saved between Vim sessions this only
works for the default tag. But only, if you have enabled persistent undo
files (e.g. you need a Vim 7.3 compiled with +persistent_undo, see the
:version info).

I hope this answers your question.

Hi Christian, thanks for the reply. I'm wondering if there's a way to save Replay/undo sessions to a specific file and recall them later with replay? I know about persistent undo, but that history will eventually go away.

Indeed, but how could we save those sessions?

I don't know script, but do you think this could work to capture and replay the session?

I wonder if there's a similar way to store an arbitrary register's contents to a file? If so, maybe you could transfer the undo tree to a file?

That is different. I think, sessions don't even care about undo-states,
which this plugin is about.

I think, the only way to make it work, is trying to record a vim-replay
using script and let it later be replayed.

I have just integrated a screencapturing feature into the Replay plugin.
You need ffmpeg/avconv installed and it is currently only working in a
Unix environment with vim running on a X11 server. You need to set the
variable g:replay_record='avconv' to enable this feature.

See also the help :h Replay-record. Please test and tell me, if this
works for you.
