;;; Commentary:

;; The default behavior of EXWM is to make buffers containing X windows
;; accessible only from the workspace they were created in. This is a useful
;; feature, but introduces some level of inconsistency as this does not apply to
;; normal buffers. exwm-buffer-groups aims to change this by associating all
;; buffers with a workspace.

;;; Code:

(require 'cl-lib)
(require 'exwm)

(defun exwm-buffer-groups-default-buffers ()
  "Initial list of buffers for a workspace."
  (if (get-buffer "*scratch*")
      (list (get-buffer "*scratch*"))
    nil))

(defvar exwm-buffer-groups-buffers
  (make-vector exwm-workspace-number (exwm-buffer-groups-default-buffers))
  "Vector containing lists of associated buffers for each workspace.")

(defun exwm-buffer-groups--buffer-seen-p (buffer)
  "Whether or not BUFFER is contained in `exwm-buffer-groups-buffers'."
  (reduce #'(lambda (x y) (or x y))
          (map 'list
               #'(lambda (workspace)
                   (memq buffer workspace))
               exwm-buffer-groups-buffers)))

(defun exwm-buffer-groups--remove-buffers ()
  "Removes dead buffers from `exwm-buffer-groups-buffers'."
  (setq exwm-buffer-groups-buffers
        (map 'vector
             #'(lambda (buffers) (cl-remove-if-not #'buffer-live-p buffers))
             exwm-buffer-groups-buffers)))

(defun exwm-buffer-groups--add-buffers ()
  "Adds unseen buffers to `exwm-buffer-groups-buffers'.
Any unseen buffers are added to the entry corresponding to the
current workspace."
  (dolist (buffer (buffer-list))
    (unless (exwm-buffer-groups--buffer-seen-p buffer)
      (push buffer (elt exwm-buffer-groups-buffers exwm-workspace-current-index)))))

(defun exwm-buffer-groups-update ()
  "Updates `exwm-buffer-groups-buffers' to reflect the buffer list."
  (exwm-buffer-groups--remove-buffers)
