Starhugger.el now displays suggestions as overlays
I also use https://github.com/tarsius/minions to selectively show minor mode lighters, in starhugger.el's case if you want to show its lighters (currently just emojis):
-
A less verbose OR more organized modeline
Use the minions package to hide minor mode lighters.

Ask: What's your favorite modeline mode?
I like the look and minimal implementation of Moody, combined with Minions for hiding all minor modes.

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.

Tool for managing buffers and windows
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.
