Usage¶
The whole config should look like this:
(require 'workgroups2)
;; Change some settings
(workgroups-mode 1) ; put this one at the bottom of .emacs (init.el)
Now you activated workgroups-mode
.
Basic commands¶
Most commands are bound to both <prefix> <key>
and <prefix> C-<key>
.
By default prefix is: C-c z
(To change it - see settings below)
<prefix> <key>
<prefix> c ; create workgroup
<prefix> A ; rename workgroup
<prefix> k ; kill workgroup
<prefix> v ; switch to workgroup
<prefix> C-s ; save session
<prefix> C-f ; load session
Settings¶
(require 'workgroups2)
;; Your settings here
;;(setq wg-session-load-on-start t) ; default: (not (daemonp))
;; Change prefix key (before activating WG)
(setq wg-prefix-key (kbd "C-c z"))
;; Change workgroups session file
(setq wg-session-file "~/.emacs.d/.emacs_workgroups")
