I was vaguely aware of them but presumed they'd been added mostly for those who were more used to that UI convention: not something long-time users of Emacs might really need but Emacs (as usual) trying to accommodate all types of usage styles or preferences.

But, trying it out the other day briefly out of curiosity, I noticed that tabs could hold their own window configuration/layout (which, like, makes sense but hadn't dawned on me).

And I started thinking that I could use them in the same way I tend to use desktop workspaces: organizational buckets to put groups of windows in.

I've used registers to save particular window layouts but that has the added effect of, also, saving the point, as well (which, while I could keep saving to that register so I don't end up at a totally different portion of the file when I try to go to the layout, it's certainly less than ideal).

Tabs seem to keep track of your most recent buffer, per tab, – as well – so I can have each tab be their own little environment. I could open up Elfeed in one (along with all of the new buffers that might generate), a Magit buffer and various files from that repo. in another, and Wanderlust to check my E-mail in a third. And, whenever I switch to one, whatever other buffer I'd been working in before the current buffer of the tab is just a switch away because each tab keeps the correct buffer order of what was done in it.

Maybe this isn't new to anyone else but I rarely see people talk about tabs (other than brief, once-in-a-blue-moon mentions) but, while maybe not suitable for every person's workflow, this is yet another way the flexibility and power of Emacs just blows anything else out of the water, to me. It's such a useful iteration on the common UI structure.

Just wondering if anyone else uses them, found any pitfalls with them, etc. Mostly curious about people's experiences and if it's as infrequently used as my impression originally was.

Dunno if anyone would know but, basically, I want something similar to Ctrl-r, when you're using Bash.

eshell-isearch-backward kind of gets at it but it seems to fail at detecting commands that have definitely been used in the past, randomly (and finds them when invoked a second time…; the other issue is there doesn't seem to be an easy way to reinvoke it. Commands like eshell-isearch-repeat-backward don't seem to work like anticipated).

Figured I'd throw out a line, in case anyone knew.

After one-too-many "Buy <different hierarchical business/corporation suggestion>" posts and struggling to look up resources for my own needs, I figured there might be use (and an audience) for a hub for people to go to and collect resources at.

I considered just posing questions here but, while definitely a sub-topic, this sublemmy seems more expansive than my more limited scope (which, obviously, is also a good thing); just wanted to share here as, like I mentioned, there's obviously overlap.

Also, the original thing that kicked me to finally make this is I wanted to make and order stickers for a design I had; I could, of course, use something like Zazzle but that felt like a less good decision. Feel free to let me know if there's anything cooperatively owned out there, possibly.

They've got a few different things going on, including discussion groups, a journal, and a publishing house.

They're also running a fundraiser with the main aim of getting people paid, which seems laudable!
