i3session

=========



  

  

  

  

  



`i3session` remembers what's running in your i3 workspaces by saving a session file (in ~/.i3/session).

It is then able to restore the running processes (and their simple orientation) to one or more workspaces.

Since `i3session` executes i3 commands sequentially (tree traversal), changing focus during restore will affect where clients open. By default, the `i3-nagbar` will appear during restore with a message to remind you of this.

**Note: The restore command does not remove the current contents of a workspace, so you'll want to (manually) clear a workspace before restoring to it.**
