ui/workspaces: replace persp-mode with tabspaces #30
Description
Important
This is a roadmap issue and is used solely to announce and document progress (to make it easier for users to follow and maintainers to track). Please do not use it for discussion; use our discussion board instead.
Note
This is being worked on in the feature/tabspaces branch.
persp-mode is notoriously difficult to work with. Documentation is light, breaking changes have wide-reaching effects, and the project reinvents a few wheels (desktop.el, tab-bar, etc). Replacing it is complicated, because so many packages and modules are integrated into it. The :ui workspaces module tries to provide:
- Isolated, per-workspace buffer lists
- Session persistence
- Saved, switchable, and nameable window configurations
- A UI for workspaces (e.g. tabs)
- Integration with project.el/projectile (e.g. project workspaces)
The packages I'm currently considering to replace persp-mode with are (ordered by most to least promising):
- https://github.com/mclear-tools/tabspaces
https://github.com/j-hotlink/hotdeskhttps://github.com/alphapapa/activities.elhttps://github.com/wasamasa/eyebrowseNative: tab-{bar,line}-mode (built in to 27+) + desktop.el
