Support obsession / global session option is required to work with vim sessions about vim-wintabs HOT 5 CLOSED

Support for vim sessions should be out of the box as long as you have the correct settings for vim session: sessionoptions should contain 'globals'. I'm not sure if vim-obsession is an edge case.

Let me know if this doesn't work for you. I'll need a minimal repro vimrc from you if that's the case.

Nice ! Actually works perfectly!!

I was using obsession because that was the recommended session plug in for tmux-resurrect. I'm going to add instructions on how to use vim-session instead of obsession on that repo in this pull request that i will finish later tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect#257

Hooray using the global session option works is!

I have one concern about using this option though. One benefit of using sessions is that if I am playing around with my Vim set up, and I want a clean reload of Vim (but still reopen all my files), I can just type :wqa<cr> then nvim -S.

If I enable the global session options then doing the above reload would not clean Vim very well, because there are a whole lot of global variables that are saved.

So basically, to get obsession working with this plug-in, there will be a much of side-effects.

I'm really not sure what the solution could be.

I just found this by googling https://github.com/xolox/vim-session#the-gsession_persist_globals-option which allows persistence of specific global variables. I might have a play with this later tonight.

Yeah I use vim-session myself, and wintabs supports vim-session out of the box: you don't need to register the wintabs global.
