When I need to reopen vim for some reason (vim updated, reboot, etc), I need to manually open a bunch of buffers when I start up.

Is there some way I can save the current set of buffers open in some kind of list and open them all as a group the next time I start vim?

  • @aharris88 - A yes, that does appear to be a proper solution, I just missed it. I'm more interested in recovery of a session after quitting vim, so perhaps there's a simpler solution other than using :mksession and saving session state to a file?

Reset to default

You can save your current session to a file with :mksession filename and then restore it by running vim with vim -S filename. You can find the full documentation with :help views-sessions.
