eyebrowse-mode ============== .. image:: http://bitbucket.org/wasamasa/eyebrowse/raw/HEAD/eyebrows.gif About ----- ``eyebrowse`` is a global minor mode for Emacs that allows you to manage your window configurations in a simple manner. It displays their current state in the modeline by default. The behaviour is modeled after `ranger <http://ranger.nongnu.org/>`_, a file manager written in Python. Installation ------------ For now installation is only supported via `quelpa <https://github.com/quelpa/quelpa>`_. Use ``M-: (quelpa '(eyebrowse :fetcher git :url "https://bitbucket.org/wasamasa/eyebrowse"))`` and you should be good to go. Installation via MELPA will be supported eventually, too. Usage ----- Use ``M-x eyebrowse-mode`` to enable ``eyebrowse`` interactively. If you want to enable it automatically on startup, add ``(eyebrowse-mode t)`` to your init file (either ``~/.emacs`` or ``~/.emacs.d/init.el``). The default key bindings are: ============== ================================ Key bind Function ============== ================================ ``C-c C-' <`` Switch to previous window config ``C-c C-' >`` Switch to next window config ``C-c C-' '`` Switch to last window config ``C-c C-' "`` Close current window config ``C-c C-' 0`` Switch to window config ``0`` \... ... ``C-c C-' 9`` Switch to window config ``9`` ============== ================================ Further Customization --------------------- Use ``M-x customize-group RET eyebrowse`` for a list of customizable options. The more interesting ones would be ``eyebrowse-wrap-around-p`` and ``eyebrowse-switch-back-and-forth-p`` which affect both wrap around and lazier switching. If you're not happy with the default keybindings, a riskier set can be enabled additionally either by executing ``M-: (eyebrowse-setup-opinionated-keys)`` interactively or inserting ``(eyebrowse-setup-opinionated-keys)`` in your init file. If the function detects the `evil <https://gitorious.org/evil>`_ package, it will enable extra key bindings for it as well. The extra key bindings are: ======== ================================ Key bind Function ======== ================================ ``C-<`` Switch to previous window config ``gT`` ... ``C->`` Switch to next window config ``gt`` ... ``C-'`` Switch to last window config ``zx`` ... ``C-"`` Close current window config ``gc`` ... ``M-0`` Switch to window config ``0`` \... ... ``M-9`` Switch to window config ``9`` ======== ================================ Name ---- Actually, I wanted to name this mode "eyebrows" for no real reason, but then a silly typo happened. The typo stuck. So did the new name.
