;;; Commentary:

;; A couple of tricks and fixes to make using EXWM and perspective.el
;; a better experience.
;;
;; Most importantly, this package provides `perspective-exwm-mode',
;; which fixes certain annoying issues between the two packages.  Take
;; a look at its docstring for more info.
;;
;; Other useful functions are:
;; - `perspective-exwm-cycle-exwm-buffers-backward' and
;;   `perspective-exwm-cycle-exwm-buffers-backward'
;; - `perspective-exwm-switch-perspective'
;; - `perspective-exwm-copy-to-workspace' and
;;   `perspective-exwm-move-to-workspace'
;;
;; Finally, take a look at the package README at
;; <https://github.com/SqrtMinusOne/perspective-exwm.el> for more
;; information.

 - fixes a bug with half-killing the current perspective when closing

   `perspective-exwm-revive-perspectives' if the problem arises
   anyway.
 - fixes a bug with running `persp-set-buffer' on an EXWM buffer that

 - fixes a bug with `persp-set-buffer' copying all the

 - adjusts the name of the inital perspective in the new workspace.
   It tries to get the name from the

   \"main-<index>\".

The latter also serves a purpose, because otherwise there are
issues with multiple perspectives sharing the same scratch

inital workspaces are created with the new perspective names."
