burly.el VS tabspaces

burly.el by u/alphapapa - might be an easier way to approach the current-window-configuration/set-window-configuration that Sacha has implemented

For the "lauch workspaces", I use burly which just uses simple bookmarks. Then with consult, I just use C-x b, then m to narrow to bookmarks and I have all the workspaces available (remote as well).

Well, that is essentially what Burly does: https://github.com/alphapapa/burly.el

Install https://github.com/alphapapa/burly.el

These features are especially useful with Burly: https://github.com/alphapapa/burly.el Because Burly can save and restore those kinds of windows, so you need not recreate them manually.

How does it compare to packages like burly, which (to my understanding) provide similar features?

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but take a look at this: https://github.com/alphapapa/burly.el

I think you want "window configurations", which can be saved into registers. You might try tab-bar-mode for cycling through them. Or there's also https://github.com/alphapapa/burly.el/ . (I'd like something similar but haven't found something that matches what I want)

desktop is not a great solution for restoring buffers, because it generally only works for file-backed buffers. Instead, I wrote Burly to restore buffers, windows, and frames in mode-specific ways, on-demand using Emacs bookmarks. This is much more flexible and powerful than similar functionality in desktop.

tabspaces, the package that leverage vanilla emacs as much as possible by using tab-bar-mode and project.el added session/tabspace restoration somewhat recently and it works pretty well.

However, it seemed that the buffer save/restore was misbehaving. I created 2 PRs (one for save, one for restore) -- would you be able to have a look?

Hi all. I am using tabspaces: https://github.com/mclear-tools/tabspaces

I tend to use a single emacs instance and single frame with multiple tabs as workspaces using tabspaces (I'm the maintainer). That lets you group buffers by tab (which means by window configuration), and there is an option to connect tabs with specific "projects", as understood by the built-in project.el. I tend to have a tab for my agenda, another for email, and then tabs for whatever projects I'm working on. I've been doing this for a couple years and it works pretty well for me but YMMV.
