  • As you say, they are basically just window configurations, so I do use them ocassionally. If, in addition to remembering an Emacs window configuration I also want to remember whether the frame is maximized or not, I will use frames instead of tabs. I used to put window configurations into registers, before tabs existed, but tabs are better because when you put a window configuration into a register it even remembers the location of point in every buffer. This means that when you restore the window configuration from the register, points get restored to where they were when you stored the configuration, not to the last time you were using it. In this sense tabs are like window configuration registers that automatically update every time you switch away from them.

    One small thing I liked in the new version is the grep-use-headings user option, if you set it to t, then grep buffer lists the search results with headings, one per file, instead of repeating the filename every single time.








  • By default undo does work in the scratch buffer so it is something in your configuration that is keeping this from working. As a quick way to check, try running emacs -q, which skips loading your configuration, and see if you have undo in the scratch buffer there; if so, it's definitely something you have in you configuration.

    You can bisect your configuration to figure out how you are deactivating undo. You can do this manually or with the help of the bug-hunter package.
