Feature request: render different session in separate buffer

[phanen]

I often navigate between different session in single nvim instance. But it feels laggy since all session need to be re-render in a single buffer, also the cursor position is reset.

ALso if we render different in separate buffer, maybe cursor position can be remember automatically :h 'quote.

I am not against the idea, it could be useful.

But I am not sure what would be the workflow. do you want to interact with the other session as well ? or just want to view the content of another session ?

Would a session viewer in a floating pane works ? or another split ? or Tabs in the output window ?

I navigate and create new sessions frequently. To ask them do different thing at the same time or ask different question.

          ['<a-p>'] = { 'navigate_session_tree', 'backward', mode = { 'n', 'i' } },
          ['<a-n>'] = { 'navigate_session_tree', 'forward', mode = { 'n', 'i' } },
          ['<a-,>'] = { 'open_input_new_session', mode = { 'n', 'i' } },

Each time I use only one session, but just switch session frequently. This operation will redraw in a single buffer from scratch and reset cursor position. Each session can be assigned to a scratch buffer (probably with session id as unique bufname so we can find/resue it again without maintaining state.

I'm satisfied with the current layout, but that can be discussed later. If we need to render multiple sessions at the same time (I'm not sure how it would be looks like, maybe user can toggle different session like :Opencode toggle <session_id>), but it inevitably means that each session should have its own buffer.

Ok I get it now.

I will work something out. It might take a bit as I will soon be on vacation for the comming weeks.

Now that opencode support tabs natively. I might got this route

I've been used another workaround recently, to disable treesitter completely, which make thing way much faster. (: treesitter is always the bottleneck
