1. Description

This layer configures Emacs IBuffer for Spacemacs.

1.1. Features:

Grouping of buffers by major-modes
Grouping of buffers by projects

2. Install

To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add ibuffer to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.

2.1. Grouping buffers

Buffers can be grouped by major-modes or projectile projects. By default buffers are grouped by major-modes.

To change how buffers are grouped set the layer variable ibuffer-group-buffers-by to one of the following supported values:

modes to group buffers by major-modes (default)
projects to group buffers by projectile projects
nil to not group buffers

Example:

(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
  (ibuffer :variables ibuffer-group-buffers-by 'projects)))
