Re: Neat features in Eclipse editor

[Richard Stallman]

When you switch from workspace A to workspace B, does your current
window configuration get recorded as workspace A?
That is an important aspect of Eclipse perspectives.

But just switching between named window configurations is only
part of the feature.  

The configurations should have names, not single letters.  And it
needs to be possible to get all the right behavior.  For instance, we
want GUD to be able to take advantage of this, with a predefined "gud"
perspective.  This predefined "gud" perspective should have a window
for displaying source, and windows for displaying other things.
Each window should have tabs for switching between the various
things you can view in that window.

Your code might be the start of this feature, but a convenient
smooth perspectives feature would do a lot more than this.
