Created page with "'''Session management''' allows session data such as buffers, cursor positions, global variables, windows, and frames to be saved and restored...."

New page

'''Session management''' allows session data such as [[buffer|buffers]], cursor positions, global variables, [[window|windows]], and [[frame|frames]] to be saved and restored. This is often used to quickly restore a previous working environment. The particular session data which can be saved varies across session management packages.

+* [[desktop.el]] - Bundled with Emacs.  Saves buffers, points, marks, history, and other variables in a desktop file, that we can load afterwards. Emacs 24.4 snapshots [http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/emacs/trunk/revision/113242 since June 2013] also store frames, including their desktop position and window arrangement. Works for many projects: we can save a desktop file in a given directory (<code>desktop-save</code>) and load it (optional argument to <code>desktop-read</code>).
 * [[savehist.el]] allows you to save many variables accross sessions. Activate it with <code>(savehist-mode 1)</code>. By default it will only save your minibuffer history, but you can save other variables. For instance save your search strings by setting <code>savehist-additional-variables</code> to <code>(search-ring regexp-search-ring)</code>.
