Disable Startup Command

[Catgroove]

What would you like sesh to do?

Apologies if this is already possible.

When using a default session along with a startup command, I would like to be able to clear that on a session basis using something along the lines of startup_command = "".

Why?

For my default startup command, I typically want to always run nvim, but for some specific sessions, I would just like to be placed in the directory, for example when I'm opening up my folder of git repositories.

I recommend setting it to something like ls. That's what I do in this situation.

[Catgroove]

That works. Feels a bit hacky but good enough for now.

[joshmedeski]

Do you have any suggestions?

We could detect if the startup command is an empty value then don't run the default command. Not sure if that's very intuitive

[joshmedeski]

What do you think of this

[[session]]
name = "fish config"
path = "~/c/dotfiles/.config/fish"
disable_startup_command = true

It should be trivial to implement, but I think adding some sort of simple command is easy enough.

Looks good! More intuitive than leaving it empty, for sure, even though that's what I tried initially.

Great, I'll add this as an official feature to be worked on soon.

As a user, I want to disable the default startup command, to avoid unwanted behavior for certain sessions and improve my workflow.

• Add a disable_startup_command option to the session configuration
• Skip the default startup command if the option is set to true on the selected config session

[[session]]
name = "fish config"
path = "~/c/dotfiles/.config/fish"
disable_startup_command = true

Is there a way to disable it for a normal path without adding it to the config sessions.

I tend to move to the root folder of my projects and I don't want it to open nvim nor to I wanna add it to config sessions
I tried this

[[session]]
path = '~/Projects'
disable_startup_command = true

[joshmedeski]

For now, there isn't a way to disable the default startup command on specific directories without creating a custom config.

For now, you'll have to include the name:

[[session]]
name = 'Projects'
path = '~/Projects'
disable_startup_command = true

I'll think of some ideas for how we could approach a better configuration solution for this use case.
