Is the default "display-buffer" logic secretly good?

(define-minor-mode dedicated-mode "Minor mode for dedicating windows. This minor mode dedicates the current window to the current buffer. The code is taken from here: https://github.com/skeeto/.emacs.d/blob/master/lisp/extras.el" :init-value nil :lighter " [D]" (let* ((window (selected-window)) (dedicated (window-dedicated-p window))) (set-window-dedicated-p window (not dedicated)) (message "Window %sdedicated to %s" (if dedicated "no longer " "") (buffer-name))))

  Emacs minor-mode to summon and dismiss buffers easily.

Or popper! I like how it carefully doesn't interfere with display-buffer-alist.

  Save and restore frames and windows with their buffers in Emacs

I wrote Burly to help with this problem. I'm working on Emacs 27+ tabs support in a branch: when burly-tabs-mode is enabled, opening a Burly bookmark does so in a dedicated tab-bar tab, and that tab's window configuration can be restored with the command burly-reset-tab. It seems helpful.

• bufler.el

  25 441 7.4 Emacs Lisp

  A butler for your buffers. Group buffers into workspaces with programmable rules, and easily switch to and manipulate them.

Bufler also helps a bit with its bufler-workspace-mode and bufler-workspace-tabs-mode, but it's more about making it easy to find and switch to buffers rather than window configurations.
