Re: [tip for EXWM users] An alternative method for isolate trees

["Julian M. Burgos" <julian.burgos@hafogvatn.is>]

Hi Juan Manuel,

Thank you, although I tested your functions and compared with the original org-tree-to-indirect-buffer, the only difference I see is that your function creates a new exwm workspace.  The original function already creates indirect buffers with their own names (using a slash instead of the double colons).  Or I am missing something?

My best,

Julian
