I just use winner-mode
and undo the configuration a few times if something ever messes it up. It's very simple and easier to do than remembering to set a checkpoint, then going back to it when needed.
Another approach is to copy a window config to a different slot (by visiting an unoccupied one), then once the current one has been messed up closing it, switching to the pristine one, then back to the closed one.
I really like the UX of eyebrowse — the overall experience of having a few workspaces, easy swap commands, a great mode-line indicator.
The one thing I'm really missing, though, is a way to say (dynamically) "this is what workspace 1 should look like", and have an easy way to revert it to that configuration if it gets far from there.
I'm not asking for a way to save configurations across restarts, or to set up configurations from Elisp — just a way to hit a key that says "this is the 'right' version of this workspace", and to later hit another key to snap back to it.
wconf
mode has this feature and so I've switched to it fromeyebrowse
, but there's a lot of good stuff ineyebrowse
that's missing fromwconf
.Does anyone else have this desire? Have you fixed it in some other way?
(Honestly maybe all I really want is a better modeline/keystroke UI around the built in window config register commands.)
