Re: Adding Session Awareness to a Plugin
Hi Marc, Could you get into a little more detail? I don't really have any experience in writing a plugin. All I'm trying to do is patch one so that it is session aware. Thanks a lot.

Adding Session Awareness to a Plugin
Hi, I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to make a plugin session aware. For example, I starting using the Highlight plugin over at http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1599 but was disappointed to find out that as soon as I saved my session, exited and then reloaded my session, all the highlights made in my previous session were lost. Other plugins such as the TabName plugin could really use this as well. Any ideas?

I can see only two different approaches here:
1. Create custom `MkSession {name}' command which will save session file
{name}.vim and near {name}x.vim which will do plugin-related setup (it is what
I
do in vimpluginloader. It is going to be replaced with frawor, so don't use
it).
See 10'th item in `:h :mksession'.
2. Save custom data in a global variable which starts with an uppercase letter
and contains at least one lowercase letter, then use SessionLoadPost event to
actually restore the session. See 2'nd item in `:h :mksession' and search for
`globals' in `:h 'sessionoptions''.
