Elscreen

Elscreen

[Andrea Crotti]

As I wrote in another thread I had a problem with ediff-mode, where I
could not quit correctly.

After some research I found out that the root of the problem is
elscreen.

It's enough to load it and ediff can't quit properly anymore, but it's a
pity I would like to continue using it.
If the project is dead though or I try to fix it myself or I should
abandon it, since it might not work also with the coming versions...

I might also use different frames but I prefer to keep only one in
fullscreen, are there other alternatives to elscreen?

This because sometimes I want to keep more than 2/3 buffers open for
quick view, and switching back and forth to have a look at something
would be already annoying...

I use Emacs Desktop, but I'm not sure if those are the features you're
looking for.

Ehm no not really, I also use desktops but is something else.
I think I can just try to use frames and map the keys I use for elscreen
to switch between frames.
In this way maybe I can even save some more pixels ;)

FYI - Bookmark+ gives you related features.
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BookmarkPlus

You can jump among bookmarks that each restore an Emacs configuration: buffers,
windows, frames, variable values, etc.  IOW, you can save and selectively
restore various kinds of Emacs state.

escreen may be an alternative.  See
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsScreen

On Debian there is the package windows-el.
