Looking for some recommended configurations for desktop-save-mode and savehist-mode. |

Currently, I noticed the following configurations for
desktop-save-mode and savehist-mode on this website
<https://ebzzry.io/en/emacs-tips-2/>:
---
;Desktop
;An indispensable tool that I use now is desktop. It saves the state
of my Emacs session, so that in the event of crash, power outage, or
anything that will make me lose my session, I can back to it. Desktop
comes built-in with the recent versions of GNU Emacs. Here's my
snippet:
(require 'desktop)
(desktop-save-mode)
(setq desktop-dirname "~/.emacs.d/save"
desktop-base-file-name "desktop"
desktop-base-lock-name "desktop.lock"
desktop-restore-frames t
desktop-restore-reuses-frames t
desktop-restore-in-current-display t
desktop-restore-forces-onscreen t)
(defun desktop-save ()
(interactive)
(if (eq (desktop-owner) (emacs-pid))
(desktop-save desktop-dirname)))
;Savehist
;Another important functionality that I use is savehist. It saves the
minibuffer history. It’s roughly similar to saving the command line
history. Here’s my snippet
(savehist-mode t)
(setq savehist-file "~/.emacs.d/save/savehist")
;Consolidation
;There were a lot of times, when I want to manually save the state of
as much session information that I could save. I’d want to save the
buffers, minibuffer history, bookmarks, and comint mode histories. To
do that, I have the following:
(defun save-defaults ()
(desktop-save desktop-dirname)
(savehist-save)
(bookmark-save))
(defun save-histories ()
(let ((buf (current-buffer)))
(save-excursion
(dolist (b (buffer-list))
(switch-to-buffer b)
(save-history)))
(switch-to-buffer buf)))
(defun save ()
(interactive)
(save-desktop)
(save-defaults)
(save-histories))
;This gives you a nice:
;M-x save RET

This configuration seems a bit cumbersome and lengthy. Is there a
concise similar configuration for this sort of settings? Any
hints/notes/suggestions/configurations are highly appreciated.
