fbd5e7fb18 Remove evil dependency from window-manager.el
When `keybindings` requires `window-manager`, the `evil-want-integration`
warning emerges. If I remove the `evil` dependency from `window-manager`, it
resolves the issue.

6df182d45e Move KBDs from window-manager.el to keybindings.el
Assuming (hoping) that this doesn't break anything.

6eac1de187 Debug Emacs initialization
Since "Briefcase" doesn't exist, `window-manager--switch` fails and so does
`exwm-init-hook`. It'd be nice to catch these errors earlier...

b4b929a55b Define window-manager-swap-workspaces
This is a wrapper around the existing `exwm-workspace-swap` except it's aware of
my `window-manager-workspace` struct.

869bcf3fc8 Define fn for outputting the current workspace's label
This is a useful helper fn, and hopefully something I'll support in my mode line
soon.

ce61987959 Extend named-workspace struct to include display information
I want to couple my EXWM workspaces with monitors. E.g. - I'd like my "Chatter"
workspace to prefer my `4k-vertical`. This change supports that.

I also did a small amount of formatting, which I don't think belongs in a
separate commit.

fc0c795c4e Debug failed Emacs initialization
My newly minted macro for defining monitors introduced two bugs:
1. Laptop defined its position in terms of 4k-horizontal and 4k-horizontal
   defined its position in terms of laptop, I introduced a circular dependency.
2. The identifier, `laptop-monitor`, which `window-manager.el` depends on, is
   now defined as `laptop`.

A friendly reminder to myself to always test new Emacs builds to make sure that
everything can initialize properly. This is something that my CI should be
automating, but ever since I moved flats, I lost my CI and need to restore it.

This is another reminder to drop into a TTY when Emacs fails to initialize, run
`nix-env --rollback`, then attempt to restart X. But this time, debugging this
entirely from a TTY wasn't so disappointing.

c17796a60d Rename alist.el to al.el
After switching my namespace separator from "/" to "-" the function,
`alist-get`, clashed (surprise!) with the pre-existing function, `alist-get`. As
I was struggling to debug my broken Emacs (it broke bc Emacs 27 rolled out), and
I changed the module name, "alist", to "al" attempting to defuse the issue.

This should cover most of the remaining linting errors. After this, I expect
fewer than ten linting errors.

a638e15c0d Lint string, macros.el

`namespace/`.

84d6fb8f39 Lint window-manager.el

- add Version, URL, Package-Requires sections
- move `pkill` into wpc-misc.el

I'm trying to tidy things up, so I'm trying to apply some of the principles from
"Essentialism" to my Emacs configuration.

4d8ce34a7e Simplify EXWM init hook
Anytime something before or during window-manager.el fails to evaluate,
I lose the ability to type, but I *can* still click.

@tazjin recommended that I use the mouse to cycle to the *Warnings*
buffer, which led me to another bug in a series of bugs that I'm
uncovering: ~/briefcase/org didn't exist.

A simple mistake like this should break my WM startup, so I decided to
remove most of my init hook logic.

ca67b4256d Debug unresponsive keyboard
After binary searching through my git history to restore my keyboard
functionality, I discovered the issue: I deleted the "Terminal" workspace, but I
did not remove the call to `(exwm/switch "Terminal")`, which silently prevented
EXWM from initializing.

I wish errors like this were noisier.

f23e1be416 Drop support for Terminal workspace
I created the Terminal workspace before I wrote a function for finding/creating
vterm instances. I now use the latter almost exclusively.

2af05f698c Support vterm-mgt.el
I enjoyed using term-switcher so much that I ended up adopting vterm as my
primary terminal. After reaching for vterm as often as I did, I realized that I
would enjoy supporting cycling through instances, creating new instances,
deleting existing instances, renaming instances. Thus spawned vterm-mgt.el.

I'm particularly excited about the KBD to toggle between vterm instances and
source code buffers.

cce926d60f Remove KBDs supporting undesired Ergodox configuration
I mistakenly mapped one of my dual-function keys on my Ergodox to send Shift+CMD
instead of CMD. When some of my Emacs keybindings weren't firing, I noticed that
the key event they received was some like `C-S-s-<char>` instead of say
`C-s-<char>`. As a quick fix, I duplicated each of my keybindings that relied on
the CMD key to support Shift+CMD as well until I remapped the key on my
Ergodox. This morning, I remapped the Shift+CMD key to CMD, so I'm bidding adieu
to this code.

Press `<M-escape.` to display a list of buffers hosting X applications. Use
`completing-read` to select and focus one of these.

2ec436b2b5 Support KBDs for term-switcher package
To facilitate transitioning from using `terminator` to using `vterm`, I'm
defining some KBDs that I hope will help me habituate my usage of `vterm`.

837cfe07c7 Rename dotfiles -> briefcase
Renaming my mono-repo briefcase.

I first introduced this commit in master, but it introduced a bug where one of
two things would happen:

1. Emacs wouldn't start and would crash X.
2. Emacs would start but my keyboard wouldn't work.

I learned some valuable debugging skills in the process. Here are some of them:

When my keyboard was broken, I wanted to control my computer using my
laptop. Thankfully this is possible by using `x2x`, which forward X events from
the SSH client to the SSH host.

```shell
> # I'm unsure if this is the *exact* command
> ssh -X desktop x2x -west :0.0
```

Git commit-local bisecting. I didn't need to do a `git bisect` because I knew
which commit introduced the bug; it was HEAD, master. But -- as you can see from
the size of this commit -- there are many changes involved. I wanted to binary
search through the changes, so I did the following workflow using `magit`:

- git reset --soft HEAD^
- git stash 1/2 of the files changed
- re-run `nix-env -f ~/briefcase/emacs -i`
- restart X session
- If the problem persists, the bug exists in the non-stashed files. Repeat the
  process until you find the bug.

In my case, the bug was pretty benign. Calling `(exwm/switch "Dotfiles")` at the
bottom of `window-manager.el` was failing because "Dotfiles" is the name of a
non-existent workspace; it should've been `(exwm/switch "Briefcase")`.

There may have been more problems. I changed a few other things along the way,
including exposing the env vars BRIEFCASE to `wpcarros-emacs` inside of
`emacs/default.nix`.

The important part is that this was a valuable learning opportunity, and I'm
glad that I'm walking away from the two days of "lost productivity" feeling
actually productive.
