Session management allows session data such as buffers, cursor positions, global variables, windows, and 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.

Packages

  • desktop.el - Bundled with Emacs. Stores buffers, points, marks, history, and other variables. Emacs 24.4 snapshots since June 2013 also store frames, including their desktop position and open windows.
