As you probably already know=2C modern window manage= rs support virtual desktops=2C which extend the workspace to multiple deskt= op areas. This allows users to spread the windows they have open across mul= tiple workspaces=2C as an alternative to crowding them all on to one screen= . I find this helpful because I work on multiple projects at a time=2C and = having multiple desktops allows me to group the windows for each project to= gether in separate desktops.

I was wondering if there was a way to g= roup related buffers in Emacs through the use of=2C say=2C multiple buffer = workspaces. For example=2C it would be nice if when I display a list of exi= sting buffers by typing C-x C-b it would be possible to group the buffers i= n the list=2C and when I called C-x b only the buffers in the current group= ing would be available. (To get at the others it would be necessary to chan= ge the current buffer workspace.)

Thanks!
