perspective-el VS doomemacs

I opened a ticket https://github.com/nex3/perspective-el/issues/198 but can’t promise to get around to it soon.

I have tried to get this behaviour for a while. The closest I have gotten is using perspective.el, but it ended up being a bit clunky when I tried it like 4 years ago and now I just used bookmark+ which can save/load desktop files as bookmarks.

perspective for named workspaces.

persp-mode?

To scratch a personal itch, I created a little package that integrates perspective-el into the built-in tab-bar.

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 think perspective.el is about what I’m looking for. If you had a list of org-ids, theses could be brought up in indirect buffers, and then those buffers added to the perspective group.

As for why this broke: this change went into Perspective a few weeks after Emacs 28 shipped. You either updated your packages recently after not updating for a while, or you switched to Emacs 28 (or later). Full discussion surrounding this change: https://github.com/nex3/perspective-el/issues/180

It sounds a bit like you want „perspective.el“ (1). It allows you to define „virtual workspaces“ of buffers with individual window layouts. On each virtual desktop the standard buffer list is replaced with a shorter showing only buffers belonging to the current context. I use it every day to keep „code“ buffers separate from my „test“ buffers.

Yes, you need to install Emacs. It is probably available from whatever package manager your system uses.

I prefer Doom (https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs) to Spacemacs. However I haven't looked at Spacemacs for many years; perhaps it's now on par with Doom.

Ever since I've started my Emacs journey it seemed like the wholy grail to have your own (vanilla!) configuration without any hard dependencies on frameworks like Doom or Spacemacs. There are plenty of dotemacs configurations ouf there which can serve as a great source of inspiration.

Use doomemacs for a start. It really optimizes startup time and offers vast included modules as well as great package management. https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/blob/master/docs/gett...

I installed Corfu using this PR in doom https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/pull/7002

The doom documentation does a pretty good job of walking you through this: - https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/blob/master/docs/getting_started.org - https://noelwelsh.com/posts/doom-emacs/

I was poking around and opened up the README.org file in the Doom Emac's faust module and i saw these nifty nagivation things that weren't coming form within the file. I didn't see anything in the directory that hinted at it (to me) either.

I tried this code: $ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs ~/.config/emacs ~/.config/emacs/bin/doom install

I am a long-time Emacs user and used to maintain my own config, but I switched to Doom Emacs [1] a year ago. Doom Emacs is like a pre-packaged/pre-configured emacs distro. You still need to configure the features that you want to use, but it's a lot easier (and faster) than having to do everything from scratch, and definitely if you already have some emacs background anyway. For me, it makes the newer, more advanced, features more accessible. Since switching, I started to use Emacs more again.
