persp-mode.el VS burly.el

I'm just switching to emacs (a noob). As far as I understood, doom uses " persp-mode.el " package instead of emacs built-in tab-mode. In order to reorder the tabs, tab-mode has tab-move and vim has tabmove. How can we do the same for doom?

I assume that it's the workspaces module in Doom Emacs which is powered by persp-mode.el.

But I'm rethinking about my approach, as tab-bar-mode would give me nice visual help (#3), and it seems difficult to recover a perspective using perspective, and persp-mode may be a better fit in that sense (#4). The Treemacs integration isn't working for me either, and I get the same list of file trees for all perspectives -- I'm pretty sure I'm doing something stupid, but this was handled nicely with Doom Emacs's workspace support (#5). But perspective seems to work best for segregated buffer list (#1).

I’ll also add that along with project.el/projectile persp-mode can be configured to work as you desire. persp-mode allows you to create different perspectives (or groups) of buffers. I usually have a few different perspectives and a project open in each of them.

You could try perspective or persp-mode

Doom achieves this via persp-mode.

The workspaces module in Doom uses persp-mode.

Built-in elisp -- are there libraries in emacs that could be extended? Here are two ideas: project.el is a great start but is lacking in some ways, especially as compared to an external library like projectile.el. Could you write up something to extend project.el's functionality by comparison? Similarly, tab-bar-mode is great, but one thing it is missing is a way to group buffers by tab, as something like persp-mode does. Could you write something that would extend this functionality to cover that case?

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.
