Eyebrowse contribution layer for Spacemacs
Description
This layer adds i3wm like workspaces thanks to the eyebrowse package.
Once the layer is activated a new number is added to the left side of the mode-line. This number corresponds to the currently active workspace number.
At startup, the workspace number 1 is active. Switching to a workspace will
create it if it does not exist. For instance at startup you can press
SPC l w 2 to create the workspace 2.
The key bindings are registered in a micro-state displayed in the minibuffer.
The docstring of the micro-state displays the existing workspaces and the
currently active workspace has square brackets. Since this is a micro-state it
is possible to just preview a workspace, for instance press SPC l w 2 to see
what's on the workspace 2 then press TAB to go back to the previously
activated workspace.
It is also possible to give a label to a the current workspace by pressing
r in the micro-state.
