Readme workflow assumes `set-workspace-p` about bufler.el HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi Jan,

Thanks for reporting the discrepancy. It's easy for me to forget to update the docs when the code is changing quickly as I'm exploring how it should work. I think this should make the description accurate to the current code.

I think defaulting bufler-workspace-switch-buffer-sets-workspace to t might be sensible, since the user expects the described workflow without any configuration. What do you think?

I don't think that should be the default, because IME, I'm often switching to buffers in other workspaces, like *scratch*, *messages*, help buffers, etc, while I'm working in one workspace's buffers. If the workspace switched every time, that would negate the benefit of bufler-switch-buffer's presenting the active workspace's buffers by default.

In fact, now that I've been using it for a while, I think that option should probably be removed, because I don't think it makes sense to switch the workspace every time bufler-switch-buffer is called. Please read the new workflow description and let me know if you still think it's a useful option to have.

On a related note, I also expected selecting a buffer via bufler-list to automatically set the workspace.

No, that's what the f and F bindings are for. I think the most frequent need is to simply switch to a buffer, not to switch to a buffer and change the workspace. If the workspace changed every time the buffer changed, I think that would negate much of the benefit of having workspaces.

All that said, I'm only one user, and there are other workflows, so I'm interested to hear about them and how Bufler may support a wider range of them, and even enable new ones.

Thanks for the kind words. Your feedback is very valuable. Please keep sending it!

Thanks for the super quick response and changes.
I had just started using this package and after starting to figure out my own workflow I agree with your points.
I'll gladly report my experiences, since I've been hoping for this kind of package a long time :)
I've previously been using persp-mode but never quite managed to make it work for me.

Great, thanks. Yes, I had always wanted some kind of workspace manager that didn't require me to manually place buffers into workspaces every time or manually define a workspace for every project/directory/mode. It looks like persp-mode has something like that now: https://github.com/Bad-ptr/persp-mode.el#auto-perspectives And it may be more powerful in some ways. But I think Bufler is easier to use. :)
