recover-session-finish

Sometimes emacs freezes, sometimes it crashes, but let’s recover

As an exwm user, everything is in emacs. I hate to admit it, but sometimes things crash or freeze. Sometimes I need to go to my shell and pkill emacs to get back to a running session. When this happens, I am helpfully reminded to recover all those unsaved buffers, especially those related to my orgmode-agenda. I then go hunting through my error log to find all the buffers that need a recover-file.

I just found the one-command solution here: recover-session-finish. There you get a special dired screen and can recover the entire most-recent files, including many things that were not touched to show up in my error log. Then just save files and you are back in action!
