Spacebar provides workspaces with an interface similar to vim tabs. Workspaces can display any buffer, but retain their own split layout. Spacebar is a user interface built on eyebrowse, which manages the workspaces.
Emacs keybindings are provided in the spacebar-command-map keymap. Bind this keymap to a prefix of your choice:
(use-package spacebar
:bind-keymap ("C-c w" . spacebar-command-map)
:config
(spacebar-mode))| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| C-c C-w c | Prompt for a space name and create it or switch to it |
| C-c C-w ” | Close the current space |
| C-c C-w ’ | Switch to the most recent space |
| C-c C-w 1 | Switch to space 1 |
| C-c C-w 2 | Switch to space 2 |
| C-c C-w 3 | Switch to space 3 |
| C-c C-w 4 | Switch to space 4 |
| C-c C-w 5 | Switch to space 5 |
| C-c C-w 6 | Switch to space 6 |
| C-c C-w 7 | Switch to space 7 |
| C-c C-w 8 | Switch to space 8 |
| C-c C-w 9 | Switch to space 9 |
| C-c C-w 0 | Switch to space 0 |
| C-c C-w < | Switch to the space to the left |
| C-c C-w > | Switch to the space to the right |
