Second reply to this list.

I think most people in this thread don't understand how awesome have different panes of pre-selected terminals, or ncurses type programs in a specific designation of split panes can be. I think that's primarily what the main person who asked the question is after. I don't think the main OP is after figuring out how to manipulate the buffer list itself.

Just wanted to note, please check out my post with my previous research as I think you'll find what you're looking for.

Also, my take on default buffer management in Emacs is that it sucks by default, but the iBuffer package helps a tad bit.

I'll have to join this thread in that I too have been seeking something that allows you to designate a couple of pre-loaded buffers, or programs loaded via ansi-term or vterm that would be saved, and interacted with, just in the same method on how 'tmux' does different windows of buffers.
