NonGNU-devel ELPA - workroom

There is always a workroom named "master", which contains all live buffers. Removing any buffer from this workroom kills that buffer. You can't kill this workroom, but you can customize the variable workroom-default-room-name to change its name.

All the useful commands can be called with following key sequences:

Here the prefix key sequence is C-x c, but you can customize workroom-command-map-prefix to change it.

You might want to remap switch-to-buffer, kill-buffer and other commands with Workroom-aware commands by adding something like the following to your init file:

(global-set-key [remap switch-to-buffer] #'workroom-switch-to-buffer)
(global-set-key [remap kill-buffer] #'workroom-kill-buffer)

You can save all your workroom in your desktop by enabling workroom-desktop-save-mode mode.

You can create a workroom containing only your project buffer with workroom-switch-to-project-workroom. You can also enable workroom-auto-project-workroom-mode, it'll switch to (creating if needed) the project's workroom when you open a file.

If you want to completely automate managing workroom buffer list, check out the docstrings of workroom-buffer-manager-function, workroom-set-buffer-manager-function and workroom-buffer-manager-data.

There's a Info manual available with more information, which can be accessed with C-h i m Workroom, also available here on the internet.
