Emacs Asked by Witek on February 23, 2021
I have a window layout with three windows and I would like Emacs to remember the buffers even if the buffers don’t exist after restart.
Context: I am using Spacemacs for Clojure development. In window #1 I have my sourcecode. In window #2 I have *cider/repl ..., which is my REPL which is only available after starting it. In window #3 I have *cider-test-report* which is my unit test report. Since the buffers in #2 and #3 are temporary, Emacs fills them with *scratch* after restart.
How to get Emacs to open my usual buffers in windows as soon as the buffers are available?
You can save the current window configuration (as well as other features of your current Emacs session) using M-x desktop-save.
As node Saving Emacs Sessions of the Emacs manual tells you:
You can also enable automatic saving of the desktop when you exit Emacs, and automatic restoration of the last saved desktop when Emacs starts: use the Customization buffer (*note Easy Customization::) to set
desktop-save-modetotfor future sessions, or add this line in your init file (*note Init File::):
(desktop-save-mode 1)
