Floating Emacs buffers #63

Open Stebalien opened 5 months ago

Stebalien commented 5 months ago

It would be nice if regular Emacs buffers could be made to float the same way X windows can.

90% of the code already exists given that floating X windows are actually just floating Emacs frames with a single unsplittable window dedicated to an EXWM buffer. All we need to do is make this work for non-EXWM buffers.

According to https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm/issues/560, this isn't possible so maybe I'm missing something. But I don't think I am?
