This package provides tagged workspaces in Emacs, similar to workspaces in windows managers such as Awesome and XMonad (and somewhat similar to multiple desktops in Gnome or Spaces in OS X).
perspective.el provides multiple workspaces (or "perspectives") for each Emacs
frame. This makes it easy to work on many separate projects without getting lost
in all the buffers.
Each perspective is composed of a window configuration and a set of buffers. Switching to a perspective activates its window configuration, and when in a perspective only its buffers are available by default.
It's recommended that you install perspective.el from Marmalade using M-x package-install. Alternately, you may put it in your load path and run
(require 'perspective).
To activate perspective use (persp-mode).
Commands are all prefixed by C-x x. Here are the main commands:
s--persp-switch: Query a perspective to switch or createk--persp-remove-buffer: Query a buffer to remove from current perspectivec--persp-kill: Query a perspective to killr--persp-rename: Rename current perspectivea--persp-add-buffer: Querry an open buffer to add to current perspectiveA--persp-set-buffer: Add buffer to current perspective and remove it from all othersi--persp-import: Import a given perspective from another frame.n,<right>--persp-next: Switch to next perspectivep,<left>--persp-prev: Switch to previous perspective
