Projects


task-mode

A GNU Emacs package which enable you to group your buffers into tasks so that when you switch buffer, the whole task is restored. A task is essentially associed to a window configuration, so changing buffer restores the window-configuration. It is particuliary useful if you use ERC or gnus for instance: C-x b #emacs, and you can see your 4 ERC buffers in the split-in-4 screen you've set. C-x b .emacs, and you returns in the one-window screen editing your .emacs.

Features:

Task mode version 0.8rc1
Many bugs have been fixed (thanks to Stefan Reichör), but I need to do some deeper changes to improve task-mode. In next release, buffers will be able to belong to several tasks.
