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
------------
Install via `quelpa <https://github.com/quelpa/quelpa>`_ with ``M-:
(quelpa 'eyebrowse)`` or install the package from `MELPA
<http://melpa.milkbox.net/>`_.
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-<``, ``gT`` Switch to previous window config
``C->``, ``gt`` Switch to next window config
``C-'``, ``zx`` Switch to last window config
``C-"``, ``gc`` Close current window config
``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.
