• Advice on moving from Emacs to Neovim

  Thanks that is helpful. I do have a question though. Is there any plugin similar to ace-window? I frequently have a situation where I have two frames (basically two windows) that are connected to the same Emacs process, and I am jumping between buffers in both frames.

• I created a package that forces Emacs to open buffers in the current window

  Looks good. But https://github.com/abo-abo/ace-window was a game-changer for me :-)

• [ido-numbered-mode] I made my first emacs package! It lets you switch buffers fast.

• Workspaces in Emacs

  I recently started using workspaces in my workflow, and although I know many packages are available in Emacs such as the ones mentioned in the comments, but what worked for me so far is just make a second frame and use ace-window with the variable aw-scope set to 'frame. And from there I just move one frame to the appropriate workspace in my desktop environment and that's it. It's worth keeping in mind that the buffers are still shared so might not be the perfect workspace experience, but I don't think that matters in Emacs.

  Try the ace-window package. I think you're referring to C-x o which is bound to other-window.

  Also highly recommend ace-window.

• find-file-at-point in ace-window selected window
  1 project | /r/emacs | 27 Nov 2021

  I'd like to use ffap (to open files/dirs) in windows I select with ace-window (https://github.com/abo-abo/ace-window). Similar to what aw-switch-buffer-in-window and aw-switch-buffer-other-window do, but with find-file-at-point instead of buffer selection. Crucially, the point means the where I am when the function is called.

• What is your Emacs window/frame usage stye?

  If someone has a big monitor I recommend changing C-x 1 delete-other-windowsto revert to have 2 windows open, (like in this config) and using ace-window to navigate to your many windows.

  Ace-Window is meant to replace `other-window' by assigning each window a short, unique label
