Sounds like you want layouts, a new feature in 4.1.0. > i've read that one can have window groups but theres very little > documentation - is this something which would allow me to achieve > this? Layouts aren't documented [all that well] (https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?23597). But for a quick intro: the possible layout commands are: layout new layout save <name> layout next layout prev layout show layout title [title] layout select layout autosave on|off layout number [number] The commands do what you would expect them to do. :) Someone should totally write up the documentation!
