persp-mode.el VS dotemacs

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?

Here's my mu4e setup

7 - Meow: Meow is great. I switched from evil a few months ago and am pretty happy with it. I also dropped general.el for bind-key.el, which is included with use-package (which I see you are using anyway). You can look at my setup of meow here and a more generic setup of keybindings here. I haven't had any trouble with using this instead of general.

One thought is to limit which parts of the org-cite libraries to load. I had similar issues with speed. You can look at my current setup in my dotfiles here. I just use oc and oc-csl, along with citar (no org-ref) and everything works pretty well.

Another thing you might consider (this depends on how many tabs you usually keep open, etc.) is not displaying tabs in the tab-bar at all (setq tab-bar-show nil) and displaying them in the echo-area instead. I use a combination of https://github.com/fritzgrabo/tab-bar-echo-area and https://github.com/qaiviq/echo-bar.el to give a consistent but very unobtrusive presentation of the tabs in the echo bar on the bottom right. You can see that in this image -- and my config for it is here.

Yes. It’s not a problem (it’s also easy to write papers in markdown using markdown mode). If you want to see some of the packages involved look at my setup-writing.el file in my config.

If you just want folding then you can use emacs' built-in outline mode. And there are very easy ways to jump around a "modular" or multi-file config as well. I use both of these tools in my own config. I also like that I can easily load just small parts of my config via command line args, and of course that I don't need to worry about bootstrapping org-mode to get things running.

You can take a look atmy setup and see if any of it looks helpful. The relevant modules for you will be:

Yeah +1 for perspective.el. I use it with projectile to manage projects and have discrete buffers for different projects. You can look at my setup if it is helpful here.
