Description

Hi, i think it can be useful bind "save with name" or bind Ctrl + s + 1, for example, to save session-1 and handle last-1. Usually i work with i3 and a "desktop" with tmux opened and i restore all my windows (in tmux):

  1. rails session with all about my project
  2. screenfetch and bash standard
  3. mutt and khal and khard (like agenda)

It's very powerfull but it can be more if i can detach sessions and load when i want. I hope i'm clear.

Thanks

IT'S A VERY GOOD PLUGIN ;)

Research direction
Investigate the current save/restore logic in scripts/tmux resurrect.sh. Look for how sessions are named and saved. The issue suggests adding a 'save with name' feature and perhaps multiple session files. Consider how to extend the save command to accept a session name argument and corresponding restore. Check if any existing functions handle session naming. Review comments in the issue for any proposed solutions.
