Notes

• Switching screens with both enter key and click with mouse are supported since 1.1.0.
• You can use any existing keybindings of elscreen, because elscreen-tab-mode just keep displaying tabs of elscreen at the specified side.
• You may try tab-bar-mode as an alternative if you are using Emacs version 27.
