tab-line as an alternative to tab-bar for macOS? about bufler.el HOT 2 CLOSED

I ended up giving up trying to use the mac tab-bar with bufler, as things like tab-bar-switch-to-tab (by name) doesn't work with the advice that's in place. What does work, however, is combining eyebrowse (and likely other window configuration systems) with bufler!

This customization code helps a lot:

(defvar asf--bufler-workspace-assignments (vector nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil)) ; 10.

(add-hook 'bufler-workspace-set-hook
          (defun asf-register-bufler-ws-with-eyebrowse (workspace)
            (setf (aref asf--bufler-workspace-assignments (eyebrowse--get 'current-slot))
                  workspace)))

(add-hook 'eyebrowse-post-window-switch-hook
          (defun asf-eyebrowse-bufler-switch-group ()
            (let ((eb-workspace (eyebrowse--get 'current-slot)))
              (bufler-workspace-frame-set (aref asf--bufler-workspace-assignments eb-workspace)))))

Now, whenever I switch to one of the eyebrowse window configs (to one of the 10 that I have bound to s-<number key>, bufler switches workspaces too; and whenever my bufler frame workspace changes, that gets recorded so eyebrowse can keep up, as well.

I'm pretty happy with this solution, despite not being tab-bar based - hope this customization is useful to somebody else. I'll close this issue.

As you have probably guessed, I don't use a Mac. I'd prefer to not add platform-specific workarounds to this project. If you're able to come up with some code to work around this problem on a Mac, I'd be willing to mention it in the documentation.
