help understanding buffer-isolated tabspaces about tabspaces HOT 3 CLOSED

Thanks for your questions. The project as currently stands is pretty dead simple. It just provides a filtered buffer list for the current tab and some help functions for opening projects in workspaces. As for your two use cases, let me see if I can help. You add a buffer to a tab/workpace by simply opening it in the tab. So tabs are themselves indifferent to which project(s) are open in them, or even whether you have multiple projects open in them. If you want to open a project in its own tab use tabspaces-open-existing-project-and-workspace. If you just want to open a project in a tab that already exists and has other buffers you want to keep you would just use project-switch-project (or you could use my project-switch-project-open-file if you want to skip project.el's interactive menu).

Your second case is such that you needn't specify the buffers -- remember all you need to do to add a buffer to a tab/workspace is simply open it in the tab/workspace. So, for example, I have this function to open my email tabspace:

(defun cpm/open-email-in-workspace ()
  "Open mu4e email in its own workspace"
  (interactive)
  (if (member "Email" (tabspaces--list-tabspaces))
      (progn
        (tab-bar-switch-to-tab "Email")
        (cond ((get-buffer "*mu4e-headers*")
               (switch-to-buffer "*mu4e-headers*"))
              ((get-buffer " *mu4e-main*")
               (progn
                 (switch-to-buffer " *mu4e-main*")
                 (delete-other-windows)))
              (t (mu4e))))
    (progn
      (tabspaces-create-workspace)
      (tab-bar-rename-tab "Email")
      (require 'org) 
      (find-file (concat org-directory "mail.org"))
      (mu4e)
      (switch-to-buffer " *mu4e-main*"))))

(bind-key* "s-5" 'cpm/open-email-in-workspace)

If you want separate tabs for mail, rss, etc., but also want them all grouped within one overarching tab you want to use tab-groups. There's a related package for this: https://github.com/fritzgrabo/tab-bar-groups. I think that should work with tabspaces but I haven't tested it extensively. I'm hoping to more clearly accommodate tab-groups in the future.
