doomemacs VS bufler.el

Yes, you need to install Emacs. It is probably available from whatever package manager your system uses.

I prefer Doom (https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs) to Spacemacs. However I haven't looked at Spacemacs for many years; perhaps it's now on par with Doom.

Ever since I've started my Emacs journey it seemed like the wholy grail to have your own (vanilla!) configuration without any hard dependencies on frameworks like Doom or Spacemacs. There are plenty of dotemacs configurations ouf there which can serve as a great source of inspiration.

Use doomemacs for a start. It really optimizes startup time and offers vast included modules as well as great package management. https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/blob/master/docs/gett...

I installed Corfu using this PR in doom https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/pull/7002

The doom documentation does a pretty good job of walking you through this: - https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/blob/master/docs/getting_started.org - https://noelwelsh.com/posts/doom-emacs/

I was poking around and opened up the README.org file in the Doom Emac's faust module and i saw these nifty nagivation things that weren't coming form within the file. I didn't see anything in the directory that hinted at it (to me) either.

I tried this code: $ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs ~/.config/emacs ~/.config/emacs/bin/doom install

I am a long-time Emacs user and used to maintain my own config, but I switched to Doom Emacs [1] a year ago. Doom Emacs is like a pre-packaged/pre-configured emacs distro. You still need to configure the features that you want to use, but it's a lot easier (and faster) than having to do everything from scratch, and definitely if you already have some emacs background anyway. For me, it makes the newer, more advanced, features more accessible. Since switching, I started to use Emacs more again.

No problem, I know that time is limited. There have already been a couple of issues filed about TRAMP, e.g. https://github.com/alphapapa/bufler.el/issues/63 If you last tried Bufler before those issues were filed, maybe give it another try; otherwise, please do chime in on that one when you get a chance.

The package I've written that provides tools for grouping buffers into something like "workspaces" would be Bufler: https://github.com/alphapapa/bufler.el See bufler-workspace-mode. It has many more features which are described in its readme.

What are you trying to convince me about? :D :D :D. To start with I recommended to you to use ibuffer, and I can recommend you even to check up Bufler if you are heavy ibuffer user.

Bufler has a lot of options in how to group buffers: https://github.com/alphapapa/bufler.el

Others have mentioned the awesome projectile, but I think it should be said that Emacs now has built in project.el which has come in leaps and bounds (though probably still lacks some projectile features).

I use project.el alongside consult[1] which has many convenient wrapper functions over built-in ones, like an enhanced `switch-to-buffer` with project support. I am actually using an even tighter integration called consult-project-extra[2].

The most advanced and overkill solution would probably be to use bufler.el[3] which basically allows you to define your custom logic for buffer grouping.

It's not designed to work that way, but it's theoretically possible. Especially, when I refactor parts of Bufler to use Taxy, it will be easy to make certain grouping keys non-consuming. See https://github.com/alphapapa/bufler.el/issues/69

Regarding the buffer-switching part of this package, you might look at https://github.com/alphapapa/bufler.el and consider how you could implement it through Bufler.
