#+TITLE: Helm-EXWM

Helm for [[https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm][EXWM]], the Emacs X Window Manager.

Helm-EXWM defines two new sources: one for a customizable selection of EXWM buffers, one for the rest of Emacs buffers. This allows to effectively separate Emacs buffers from EXWM buffers in ~helm-mini~.

• Run ~helm-exwm~ to spawn a Helm session of all EXWM buffers.
• Call ~(helm-exwm FILTER)~ to spawn a Helm session of all EXWM buffers for which the FILTER function returns non-nil. See the documentation string of ~helm-exwm~ for an example.
• To define a source of filtered EXWM buffers, use ~(setq my-helm-exwm-source (helm-exwm-build-source FILTER))~.
• Enable follow-mode with ~(add-to-list 'helm-source-names-using-follow "EXWM buffers")~.

Helm-EXWM also provides the ~helm-exwm-switch~ helper function for switching to EXWM-supported programs. It uses Helm to switch between the windows owned by one or several specific programs.

Helm-EXWM provides two default switchers for ~browse-url-generic-program~. See ~helm-exwm-switch-browser~ and ~helm-exwm-switch-browser-other-window~. Those switchers are most useful when bound to global keys.
