Bug Description

First I posted this on askubuntu.com, then someone suggested it would be better to post it here.

 Byobu can save layout, that is somewhat useful to me. But I would like to save working directories of the current layout as well. And even better, if it can re-run ssh logins or restore vim/emacs currently open files. With this feature, I can have a servers layout to login quickly to servers I usually work with, or open projectABC layout to quickly get to the project and start working from where I left off.

A quick search shows that this almost exact idea has been implemented with tmux-resurrect (https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect) I just don't know how to use it with Byobu yet. One different thing, however, I want to save the layout or session with a specific name, not just one name for everything.

Good idea. I think this would be better added by users who want this by installing the tmux-resurrect plugin.
