Hot exit is one of killer features of Sublime Text editor. It allows to close editor at any point of time without worrying about modifications in opened files - it just closes without any question. When launch ST again all opened and edited files will be at the same state as they were before closeI wonder is there a way doing the same in vim?
Is there any vim plugin that implement hot exit feature from sublime text
save
Vim can do this, though it may be a bit clunky and take some setup.romainl gets you partway with session. The missing bits are swap files, :preserve, and the & flag for cpoptions.Swap files are intended for recovery if Vim or your system crashes. They enable you to recover any unsaved changes (with some limitations, see :he swap-file). However, when Vim exits normally, it deletes any swap files it was using, even if the buffer had unsaved changes.That's where :preserve and cpoptions's & come in. :preserve forces Vim to write all buffers to their swap files immediately (as opposed to the standard after 4 seconds or 200 characters, or whatever your options have set it to). Doing :set cpoptions+=& tells Vim not to delete swap files saved with :preserve when exiting normally.Unfortunately, Vim does not automatically clean up swap files when recovering from them, so you can soon end up with a directory looking like this:.foo.txt.swn.foo.txt.swo.foo.txt.swpfoo.txtYou can delete the older ones manually, but Vim will only automatically offer to recover if there is a *.swp file where it would put its new swap file. The :recover command will force Vim to look for swap files to recover from.By using autocommands, you can automate preserving (probably with the QuitPre event) and recovering (probably with BufRead or BufReadPost). Recover.vim is a plugin that might work as a friendlier alternative for managing recovering. It appears to also handle cleaning up swap files. I'm not sure how it would handle a directory with a .swo but no .swp file. You may still need to use :recover for that case.vim-obsession is another plugin that claims to make handling sessions much easier.
