+;;; niri.el --- seamless niri/emacs integration. -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-
+;;
+;; Copyright (C) 2024 The TVL Contributors
+;;
+;; Author: Vincent Ambo <tazjin@tvl.su>
+;; Version: 1.0
+;; Package-Requires: ((emacs "27.1"))
+;;
+;;; Commentary:
+;;
+;; After having used EXWM for many years (7 or so?) it's become second nature
+;; that there is no difference between windows and Emacs buffers. This means
+;; that from any Emacs buffer (or, in the case of EXWM, from any X window) it's
+;; possible to switch to any of the others.
+;;
+;; This implements similar logic for Emacs running in Niri, consisting of two
+;; sides of the integration:
+;;
+;; # In Emacs
+;;
+;; Inside of Emacs, when switching buffers, populate the buffer-switching menu
+;; additionally with all open Niri windows. Selecting a Niri window moves the
+;; screen to that window.
+;;
+;; # Outside of Emacs
+;;
+;; Provides an interface for the same core functionality that can be used from
+;; shell scripts, and bound to selectors like dmenu or rofi.
+;;
+;; # Switching to Emacs buffers
+;;
+;; Some special logic exists for handling the case of switching to an Emacs
+;; buffer. There are several conditions that we can be in, that each have a
+;; predictable result:
+;;
+;; In a non-Emacs window, selecting an Emacs buffer will either switch to an
+;; Emacs frame already displaying this buffer, or launch a new frame for it.
+;;
+;; Inside of Emacs, if *another* frame is already displaying the buffer, switch
+;; to it. Otherwise the behaviour is the same as standard buffer switching.
