Eyebrowse layer

/TakeV/spacemacs/media/commit/552fb1e1a67f3fd3db2dd404b16603fb77b3272b/layers/+window-management/eyebrowse/img/eyebrowse.gif /TakeV/spacemacs/media/commit/552fb1e1a67f3fd3db2dd404b16603fb77b3272b/layers/+window-management/eyebrowse/img/i3wm.png

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 transient-state displayed in the minibuffer. The docstring of the transient-state displays the existing workspaces and the currently active workspace has square brackets. Since this is a transient-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 transient-state.

Install

Layer

To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add eyebrowse to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.

Removing additional help

Once you know the key bindings to navigate between the workspaces you may want to disable the exhaustive help in the workspace transient-state. Set the variable eyebrowse-display-help to nil

  (setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
    '((eyebrowse :variables eyebrowse-display-help nil)))
