Question

When I save my vim session using :mksession mysavedsession, it saves everthing that is relevant to me except for the swapped buffer opened in each of my vim windows brought to view by Ctrl-6.

Any easy solutions to this?

Answer 1

That’s <C-^>, not <C-6>.

I don’t think that there’s such a thing as a “<C-^> state”: <C-^> is used to edit the previously edited file but it doesn’t have a “hard” value. When you are restoring a session you haven’t edited any previous file so it’s likely that <C-^> doesn’t work. Just like there’s no “previous file” if you just started Vim.

A quick look at :help mksession, :help mkview, :help sessionoptions and :help viewoptions doesn’t seem to indicate any workaround.
