A tool to preserve a set of screen tabs and vim buffers in vim sessions within those tabs.
The following function is needed in the local .vimrc. The name of the function may be different, but it must then be specified with the -b option when running vimsaver.py.
function! BufferList()
execute "silent redir @m"
execute "silent buffers"
execute "silent redir END"
let a=@m
return a
endfunction
In order to be preserved, vim sessions must be opened with a --servername. You might add alias vimsn="vim --servername" to your .bash_aliases file, so you can type "vimsn gridcity gridcity.c" to open a vim session called gridcity with the file gridcity.c to start. Any additional tabs you open with :tabnew should then be preserved.
Screen sessions to be preserved should also be opened with a session name. This will use the default session name, vimsaver: screen -S vimsaver.
In order to restore a session, open a screen with a session name and then simply run ./vimsaver.py load (it will assume the default session name vimsaver, please see help for details).
