  • 0

I use VIM as my main text editor here at work and I often have 10-15 files open at once in a couple of Windows with several tabs, each of which has its own split Windows. I love using VIM, but I hate having to re-do my entire set-up every time the dev server gets bounced or my machine crashes.

Is there a way to get VIM to remember a setup, such as the “project” features in many IDEs? Or am I stuck having to open all the files in the same way each time?

    Have a look at the :mksession command.

    A Session keeps the Views for all windows, plus the global settings. You can
    save a Session and when you restore it later the window layout looks the same.
    You can use a Session to quickly switch between different projects,
    automatically loading the files you were last working on in that project.
