persp-mode.el VS .emacs.d

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?

The second one is a little bit more complicated. For a number of packages I kind of abuse use-package/straight to separate out setup of different files/modes contained within the same package into their own use-package statement. Good example of this is my setup for helm. ) For example, after the normal (use-package helm …) statement, I have the below which configures helm-files related stuff, which comes from helm-for-files.el within the helm package:

siren-tab-bar.el

If anyone is curious of the hacky solution I used to have in my config, here is the comment where I initially replaced it with an earlier version of yank-indent.

I’d like to throw my personal vanilla config into the hat as a point of reference/starting point/inspiration: https://github.com/jimeh/.emacs.d

My config uses/has use-package, straight.el, lsp, company, magit, tree-sitter, doom-themes, doom-modeline, vertico, marginalia, consult, treemacs, undo-fu, GitHub Copilot, projectile, vterm, smartparens, yasnippet, diff-hl, and more.

I did a similar thing with yaml-mode highlight queries in my config before the highlights were merged in. You can see the relevant commit in my config here: https://github.com/jimeh/.emacs.d/commit/ebbdab36fb2a3d635d591cc3179b8f4ed9a476d0

I'm two months in (without any programming experience) and I've gone through various re-writes (from a literate .org init to a modular setup akin to Emacs Prelude or Siren configurations. (See: https://github.com/jimeh/.emacs.d)
