persp-mode.el VS tabspaces

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?

tabspaces, the package that leverage vanilla emacs as much as possible by using tab-bar-mode and project.el added session/tabspace restoration somewhat recently and it works pretty well.

However, it seemed that the buffer save/restore was misbehaving. I created 2 PRs (one for save, one for restore) -- would you be able to have a look?

Hi all. I am using tabspaces: https://github.com/mclear-tools/tabspaces

I tend to use a single emacs instance and single frame with multiple tabs as workspaces using tabspaces (I'm the maintainer). That lets you group buffers by tab (which means by window configuration), and there is an option to connect tabs with specific "projects", as understood by the built-in project.el. I tend to have a tab for my agenda, another for email, and then tabs for whatever projects I'm working on. I've been doing this for a couple years and it works pretty well for me but YMMV.
