Is it possible to have get subset of related buffers with each emacs frame when switching and displaying buffers

I mean

  • A frame that is dedicated for GNUS will show only gnus buffers
  • A frame that is dedicated for ERC will show only erc buffers
  • A frame that is dedicated for Editing will show only all other buffers

  • Any progress on this issue? I'm interested in exactly the same thing, this would make using emacs for sevaral things in parallel much more enjoyable – Vitomir Kovanovic Apr 04 '14 at 07:31

The closest thing I can find is "Forcing Display in the Same Window". But it is not exactly what you want.

I do not think there is any way to do what you want short of redefining all of the commands related to selecting buffers. I would not mind being proven wrong.

I think you could get most of the way there using Window Configurations and Frame Configurations, probably with some mode hooks. I've been meaning to really figure out a good way of doing this reliably, but haven't had time as of yet (which isn't really helpful I guess).

Anyhow, best of luck, maybe someone with more knowledge will have a better answer.
