persp-fr

This code is an extension of the persp-mode mode that uses the GUI window title (AKA frame name, in Emacs nomenclature) to show a perspectives list. It also indicates the currently selected one.

Change Log

• Release 0.0.4 - 03/01/2018 - Add functions to move the current perspective to the left, right, first or last position.

• Release 0.0.3 - 08/09/2017 - Revert last change because persp-mode now properly sorts the list of names.

• Release 0.0.2 - 07/09/2017 - Last persp-mode release reversed the list of persp names, which affected how names are shown in the title bar. Now names in persp-fr are shown as before. If you use the customization shown below, please consider exchanging the key assignment. Otherwise you will navigate persp buffers in reverse order.

Usage

Mostly the same as persp-mode:

    (require 'persp-fr)     ;; was (require 'persp-mode)
    (persp-fr-start)

Customization

The customization group lets you tweak few parameters.

Access it as usual: M-x customize-group RET persp-fr RET.

Useful keys to switch from next/previous perspective, as in most tabbed user interfaces, and to move current perspective to left/right:

    (global-set-key [(control prior)] 'persp-prev)
    (global-set-key [(control next)] 'persp-next)
    (global-set-key [(control meta next)] 'persp-fr-move-right)
    (global-set-key [(control meta prior)] 'persp-fr-move-left)

Example

The images I could show here are mostly the same as the ones you can see in elscreen-fr, except that persp-mode-fr shows only the perspective name.

Finally

Tested only under Linux / Gnome. Feedback welcome!
