Decabytes

Recently I've been consolidating my workflow. First is using a single monitor, and then using shortcuts to switch to other Windows when I need to. I find that for me it's easy to get distracted when I have multiple different Windows up.

I also have moved from a workflow in Emacs where I split my buffer and have things side by side, to one where I make new frames and then flip to the frames. This is easier on my eyes as I can have a large window for larger fonts, and I don't have to deal with wrapping in both Windows.

I love Emacs but I agree with the poster about how everything as text can have its drawbacks. I'd love to see a NeoEmacs that addresses some of these issues

There have been tiling window managers based around Emacs before. I think the most recent I tried was https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm -- in this case the window manager is itself emacs, and your windows are buffers in emacs etc.

It makes a lot of sense, since Emacs does its own tiling, and one is usually familiar with the keystrokes already, and then you don't have tiling in tiling.

So I keep meaning to go back and try this again, or something similar, but I recall it having issues with a lot of my commonly used applications back when I tried it.

When I get in the tiling mood, I use regolith, which is a nice packaging up of i3 in with the gnome environment. I'd love to have something like that, but built around emacs.

(The crazy thing is I'd probably end up editing source code in CLion inside that... since the CLion Rust plugin is superior to anything I can get in emacs)
