Vim Session Manager

A manager for the under-utilized `mksession` command in vim

ℹ️ Reasoning

If you use vim or neovim on a daily basis and work in large codebases, it is probably not uncommon for you to have 10+ tabs open at a time, with various splits. Once you close this vim session the layout is lost to the ethers. the mksession command in vim(neovim) can save you, thus saving the session to a directory, promising to return you to your work exactly how you left it. However, the problem is most of us accrue many of these session files scattered about, personally I have 28 vim session files, easily loading them, rememembering the context of each one, and removing stale sessions becomes a hassle. enter vsm (Vim Session Manager), it is a script I wrote years ago that has been kicking about my dotfiles, and now is being revamped and written as an easily installable python package as some of my compatriots have expressed interest in using it.
