This is Buffer Layers, a simple, layer-based buffer management system.

It works by defining buffer layers using a fairly simple macro. The following would be put in a file called org.layer

;; -*- emacs-lisp -*-
(define-buffer-layer org
  :files ("~/org/"
          "~/org/main.org")
  :buffer-to-select "main.org"
  :run-on-apply ((my/find-current-notes-file)))

It can be loaded with (load-buffer-layer "/path/to/org.layer" nil). If the final nil is changed to true, it will load and apply the layer.

To manipulate buffer layers, execute buffer-layer-mode, and then you can use the following keybindings:

  • C-x L l Load a buffer layer, if defined, otherwise, load from the given file.
  • C-x L u Unload a loaded buffer layer.
  • C-x L U Unload all loaded buffer layers.
  • C-x L L List defined buffer layers, noting if they've been applied.
