Eyebrowse contribution layer for Spacemacs

/TakeV/spacemacs/media/commit/8105e19d5e38dbff41d0f2a32e682f67a501ef7c/layers/+window-management/eyebrowse/img/eyebrowse.gif /TakeV/spacemacs/media/commit/8105e19d5e38dbff41d0f2a32e682f67a501ef7c/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 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.

Install

Layer

To use this contribution add it to your ~/.spacemacs

(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(eyebrowse))

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 micro-state. Set the variable eyebrowse-display-help to nil

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