- Description:
- The Perspective package provides multiple named workspaces (or
"perspectives") in Emacs, similar to multiple desktops in window
managers like Awesome and XMonad, and Spaces on the Mac.
Each perspective has its own buffer list and its own window layout,
along with some other isolated niceties, like the xref ring. This
makes it easy to work on many separate projects without getting lost
in all the buffers. Switching to a perspective activates its window
configuration, and when in a perspective, only its buffers are
available (by default).
Each Emacs frame has a distinct list of perspectives.
Perspective supports saving its state to a file, so long-lived work
sessions may be saved and recovered as needed.
