I understand basic use of frames.
First, I'm asking if there is a way to group buffers in frames. So that frame A
works on buffers 1-2-3, frame B has buffers 4-5-6, frame C has buffers 1-4-7-8
for ex.
Second, the utilities for manipulating frames and buffers within frames are
extremely limited. There does not seem to be a way to "name" a given frame, or
to call a frame to the front for example, like I'd call a buffer to the front.
There does not seem a way to specify a frame to send commands to either.
Let me give you an example.
On macos, with AppleScript, in most applications (but 1 frame = 1 window = 1
buffer), I can access the name of a given frame, I change its name, I can call
it to the front or to the back, I can modify its contents, I can rearrange the
size and placement of each frame, etc.
I can't work on "buffers" because the concept does not exist, but I think you
see what I mean.
I can't seem to be able to do that in emacs for emacs frames.
