These doom configs will make magit always open in a dedicated
workspace.

​

    (map! :after magit :map magit-mode-map :nv "q"
#'+workspace:switch-previous)

    (map! :leader "g s" (cmd!
                     (+workspace-switch "magit" :auto-create-p)
                     (magit-status-setup-buffer)))

Was wondering if anyone has a nice config to widen focused windows. I
have seen a screencapture of someone else doing this a while ago and
forgot about it, but is now something that would help me out a bit.

​

Idea is, when I focus a window, it widens by a few characters. When I
switch to another window, it shrinks back down and the new focused
window gets larger.

Just want to know if a package already implements this or not before I
go and hack it together myself :)

Something like

or

[https://github.com/cyrus-and/zoom](https://github.com/cyrus-and/zoom)

maybe?

Hi folks,

We’ve got multiple announcements pinned to the top of r/emacs, so I’m
going to have to unpin this one.  If you have a burning question, look
into other avenues!
