eyebrowse is a global minor mode for Emacs that allows you to manage your window configurations in a simple manner. It displays their current state in the modeline by default. The behaviour is modeled after ranger, a file manager written in Python.

For now installation is only supported via quelpa. Use M-: (quelpa '(eyebrowse :fetcher github :repo "wasamasa/eyebrowse")) and you should be good to go. Installation via MELPA will be supported eventually, too.

Use M-x eyebrowse-mode to enable eyebrowse interactively. If you want to enable it automatically on startup, add (eyebrowse-mode t) to your init file (either ~/.emacs or ~/.emacs.d/init.el).

The default key bindings are:

Use M-x customize-group RET eyebrowse for a list of customizable options. The more interesting ones would be eyebrowse-wrap-around-p and eyebrowse-switch-back-and-forth-p which affect both wrap around and lazier switching.

If you're not happy with the default keybindings, a riskier set can be enabled additionally either by executing M-: (eyebrowse-setup-opinionated-keys) interactively or inserting (eyebrowse-setup-opinionated-keys) in your init file. If the function detects the evil package, it will enable extra key bindings for it as well.

The extra key bindings are:

Actually, I wanted to name this mode "eyebrows" for no real reason, but then a silly typo happened. The typo stuck. So did the new name.
