• Install
  • Grouping buffers
• Key bindings
  • Global
  • IBuffer

Description

This layer configures Emacs IBuffer for Spacemacs.

Features:

• Grouping of buffers by major-modes
• Grouping of buffers by projects

Install

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

Grouping buffers

Buffers can be grouped by major-modes or projectile projects. By default buffers are grouped by major-modes.

To change how buffers are grouped set the layer variable ibuffer-group-buffers-by to one of the following supported values:

• modes to group buffers by major-modes (default)
• projects to group buffers by projectile projects
• nil to not group buffers

Example:

  (setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
    (ibuffer :variables ibuffer-group-buffers-by 'projects)))
