Not sure if this helps but I was looking for the same kind of thing, but am more of a 'tmux' fan. I know what you're after where its easy buffer management on the fly to do quick splits (vertically or horizontally), as well as managing 'windows' of different terminal panes. Unfortunately, I haven't found anything useful yet since the 'tmux' derivatives I have tried are either outdated because of recent updates to Emacs, or just jenky / dead projects. But, I will share with you my research that I gathered since I write all life tasks as todo list items, so hopefully my research below can help you somehow (NOTE: I'm also a person that if I don't see a .gif or screenshots of projects of Emacs plugins, I NEVER try it since I firmly believe every decent project should have a corresponding screenshot to actually know what it does) RESEARCH: <2021-06-11 Fri 22:43>: I would like to create multiple workspaces within a single Emacs window itself somehow, kind of like how Tmux does separate windows. <2021-06-15 Tue 17:28>: Somewhat related but I found 'yabai' which looks like a Window Manager for MacOSX: - https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai <2021-06-15 Tue 17:30>: Apparently the "C-x left" and "C-x right" allow you to switch buffers left and right. <2021-06-15 Tue 17:32>: Someone on IRC told me about this, which is "eyebrowse" a related window manager Emacs package for Emacs buffers: - https://depp.brause.cc/eyebrowse/ <2021-06-15 Tue 17:40>: These are other related window manager style Emacs packages mentioned by the maintainer for the 'eyebrowse' package: - https://github.com/shosti/elscreen - https://github.com/emacsattic/escreen - https://github.com/ilohmar/wconf - https://github.com/tlh/workgroups.el - https://github.com/pashinin/workgroups2 <2021-06-15 Tue 17:45>: I never even knew there was a 'tmux plugin manager' or 'tpm': - https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm <2021-06-15 Tue 17:46>: I could also use 'tmux-pane' from MELPA as well: - https://github.com/laishulu/emacs-tmux-pane <2021-06-20 Sun 22:50>: This is cool, but I don't do this too too often. Demoting to bottom of list. <2021-06-22 Tue 00:09>: I found a few more :/ so the decision will be a tough one: - https://github.com/manateelazycat/awesome-tab - https://github.com/ema2159/centaur-tabs <2021-06-22 Tue 00:10>: In total, here are the options, aka here's a checklist of them so I can just try out each one, and just nuke it if I don't like it [57%] - [X] https://github.com/shosti/elscreen <2021-07-06 Tue 23:39>: No longer maintained = no way - [X] https://github.com/emacsattic/escreen <2021-07-06 Tue 23:39>: Doesn't have a description in GitHub, no way - [X] https://github.com/ilohmar/wconf <2021-07-06 Tue 23:40>: No gif, no buy - [X] https://github.com/tlh/workgroups.el - [ ] https://github.com/pashinin/workgroups2 - [ ] https://github.com/manateelazycat/awesome-tab - [ ] https://github.com/ema2159/centaur-tabs On Sat, Aug 21, 2021, at 9:28 AM, Jean-Christophe Helary wrote: > > > > On Aug 21, 2021, at 22:24, Julius Hamilton wrote: > > > > Hey, > > > > There is a bash tool called screen which lets you switch windows between > > different command line prompts. > > > > Is there any similar tool for Emacs, where you could run some kind of > > process, for example the Emacs web browser, then switch to a different > > window or process within Emacs, such as a text file being edited? > > Aren't you describing what buffers are about ? > > -- > Jean-Christophe Helary @brandelune > https://mac4translators.blogspot.com > https://sr.ht/~brandelune/omegat-as-a-book/ > > >
