Using Workspaces

Multiple workspaces are a convienient way to manage working with different projects.

Space l is the workspace menu from practicalli/doom-emacs-config (Space Tab in Doom Emacs)

Space p p and selecting a project will open the project within a workspace

Space l l lists existing workflows

Space l Tab jumps to the last open workspace (use to toggle between two projects)

Space l d displays existing workflows as tabs at the bottom of the frame

Isolated buffer-list

Space b b is workspace-restricted, showing open buffers only from the scope of the current workspace (projeect).

Space b B shows the global list of buffers, along with any typically hidden buffers, e.g. *messages*

Automatic workspaces

A workspace is automatically created (and switched to) when you:

• Create a new frame with make-frame
• Switch to a project using projectile-switch-project

Session persistence

Space q s to save the current session, including open workspaces and buffers, to , ~/.config/emacs/.local/etc/workspaces/autosave. Space q s to choose a different file to save the session.

Space q L (~+workspace/load-session~) to load a previous session

You can supply either a name to load a specific session to replace your current one.

Workspace persistence

Space l s (~+workspace/save~) to save the current workspace to a file. If workspaces are already saved to file, a prompt appears to confirm keeping the other saved workspaces.

Space l l (~+workspace/load~) to load workspaces from the persisted workspace file, ~/.config/emacs/.local/etc/workspaces/autosave

Space l L to load a workspace that was previously created in the current session but was not loaded automatically
