Howto get a persistent spacemacs window position and size?

[triklsbg]

What is the minimum action required to get a ... between spacemacs restarts? Shouldn't be this a faq-candidate ? or the default behaviour ?

I think the layer spacemacs-layouts can do that. It uses persp-mode.el to do it.

This fellow made a layer to do it: https://github.com/aaronjensen/spacemacs.d/tree/master/layers/frame-geometry

Also here is a gist if you just want to put it in your .spacemacs: https://gist.github.com/synic/0357fdc2dcc777d89d1e

Thanks synic! I didn't expected such an expensive solution. @Andre0991: I will take a look at spacemacs-layouts.
@StreakyCobra: The faq- and default-part of the question remains open for me.

@triklsbg According to #1585 (comment) it seems that spacemacs-layout offers this possibility. I have a tailing window manager so I can't test, but I suppose you can try it by setting dotspacemacs-auto-resume-layouts to t in your .spacemacs.

In case it gets more confusing, I referenced spacemacs-layouts in #1585 considering that OP wants to restore emacs window layout posioning, not the OS window(frame in emacs jargon) positioning. If that's the case then what synic pointed is the way to go. I had that kind of snippet some time back, not anymore(as I use one frame with many layouts now)

Indeed it's confusing even in the linked issue. Ok, so spacemacs-layout is not a solution then.

@triklsbg As you just went through this configuration, you are the best person to write the FAQ entry :-) It's a nice way to get started if you want to contribute. Please just read the guidelines first. If you can't or don't want to, I'll reopen it and mark it as beginner friendly documentation.
