.. tip::
If you want session files to be saved to a specific directory regardless of
your current working directory, use the ``--base-dir`` option. For example::
map f7>s save_as_session --use-foreground-process --base-dir ~/.local/share/kitty/sessions
This is particularly useful when kitty is launched from system-wide shortcuts

``--relocatable`` is typically not used with ``--base-dir``, since relocatable
is meant for session files that are co-located with their project directories.
If instead, you want to create these by hand, see the example below which shows
