Started learning vim just about month ago and now trying to have netrw file-browser window loaded with the rest of the session but not getting it back when the session is sourced. What I get is some real strange behavior depending on what window/tab is active when running :mksession command.
STEPS TO REPLICATE: Start vim Open netrw file-browser with ':e.' Open any text file in a separate tab 'tabe .vimrc' Run ':mksession' command Exit vim Load saved session with 'vim -S' or 'vim -S Session.vim' RESULT: all windows from the session are there except netrw, but it is restored by sourcing the session again from inside vim with ':source Session.vim'. The other way: Start vim with a text file loaded like 'vim .vimrc' Open netrw file-browser with ':vs.' Run :mksession' command Exit vim Load saved session with 'vim -S' or 'vim -S Session.vim' Run :mksession!' command Exit vim Load saved session with 'vim -S' or 'vim -S Session.vim' RESULT: all windows from the session are loaded but netrw one is empty and no way to fix it. Can anybody replicate this?
