How to make packages in emacs? from beginner to advance? PLEASE HELP
An Emacs package is just Emacs Lisp code that adheres to package conventions. If you can write moderately complicated code in your init file and believe that it may be useful to other people, put it into its separate file, add package headers/footers, adjust to package writing conventions and it's ready for publishing. I've learned all that from looking up the documentation and most importantly, studying other packages. I was at that point one year into my Emacs journey and published https://github.com/wasamasa/eyebrowse shortly after.

Advice on moving from Emacs to Neovim
Thanks that is helpful. I do have a question though. Is there any plugin similar to ace-window? I frequently have a situation where I have two frames (basically two windows) that are connected to the same Emacs process, and I am jumping between buffers in both frames.

I created a package that forces Emacs to open buffers in the current window
Looks good. But https://github.com/abo-abo/ace-window was a game-changer for me :-)

[ido-numbered-mode] I made my first emacs package! It lets you switch buffers fast.
take a look at https://github.com/abo-abo/ace-window

Workspaces in Emacs
I recently started using workspaces in my workflow, and although I know many packages are available in Emacs such as the ones mentioned in the comments, but what worked for me so far is just make a second frame and use ace-window with the variable aw-scope set to 'frame. And from there I just move one frame to the appropriate workspace in my desktop environment and that's it. It's worth keeping in mind that the buffers are still shared so might not be the perfect workspace experience, but I don't think that matters in Emacs.

How to move the cursor from one buffer to another quickly
Try the ace-window package. I think you're referring to C-x o which is bound to other-window.

Also highly recommend ace-window.

find-file-at-point in ace-window selected window
I'd like to use ffap (to open files/dirs) in windows I select with ace-window (https://github.com/abo-abo/ace-window). Similar to what aw-switch-buffer-in-window and aw-switch-buffer-other-window do, but with find-file-at-point instead of buffer selection. Crucially, the point means the where I am when the function is called.

What is your Emacs window/frame usage stye?
If someone has a big monitor I recommend changing C-x 1 delete-other-windowsto revert to have 2 windows open, (like in this config) and using ace-window to navigate to your many windows.
