Kudos to the programmer, who is apparently still in high school: https://p.bauherren.ovh/

I find myself very rarely using window features of emacs. Am I missing out on something? I value mostly screen space dedicated to the one thing I am doing.

I’m confused, is this operating on Emacs’ frames or windows.

** For those here that are not Emacs users these terms mean the opposite of what you’re likely used to.

The joy of this is that emacs doesn't care if you have a desktop or if you're headless in a terminal. Which sounds a but morbid.

Any chance folks have pointers on how I could do this for the windows of my desktop? Running PopOS and would love to setup some keyboard macros to setup common window arrangements. I am embarrassed that I have basically no idea where to start in doing that, though. :( Would I be looking to do a Gnome plugin?

Oh, this will be nice. I've had a home-grown (rotate-windows) function in my config for a long time. I love it when I can shrink my config because core now has an equivalent.

I once created a custom function that toggles between vertical and horizontal splits of two windows. It’s quite handy. https://github.com/masutaka/dotfiles-public/blob/66c976fb069...

I am on macOS with a split screen browser left and emacs in the right half. Max 2 window vertical split in that frame and if needed a C-x 5 2 which opens a full screen frame workspace to the right for a c-x 3 side by side layout. That’s it - all the other buffers are backstage partying until they get called.

This is great! I often have a situation where I have a nice three pane split with one split vertically and another one horizontal in one of the vertical panes, but if I close the big vertical pane, I now just have two wide horizontal panes and have to recreate the layout.

These functions are far more useful than I would have expected them to be. Will have to find a way to add them to my muscle memory. Curious if there are any obvious keybindings people have started using for them?

Oh this makes me quite happy! I’ve been using an awful hack to do horizontal-mirroring (that sometimes borks), I’m so glad to find there’ll be a better way. Massive props to the author!

I've gravitated to the use of a 43" 4K TV as my main monitor (and have a few others scattered about for auxiliary purposes) and when hacking hard have a full screen emacs window split into lots of panes, vertically and horizontally a la Mondrian. I am confused about how others get anything done without a similar configuration! This new feature seems like it will be great fun.

nice ! i typically use windmove.el for all windowing needs within Emacs including (but not limited to) moving between windows, swapping buffers etc. etc.

Neat, I've been using this for a while. Happy to strike off yet another package.
