You need to start Firefox in the background (put an & after it). 
When you run it in the foreground, you freeze rc.wmii's event 
loop, so it never shows you that you've created and switched to 
a new tab.

If you only plan on having firefox open under the web tag, you can just
add a tag rule. That way whenever you start firefox it will open in the
web tag.

For example:

/Firefox/ -> web

Hope this helps,
Thomas

[wmii] How to make a new tab and start application inside ?

2009-05-03 Thread jpec 
Hi everybody !

I'm trying to make shortcut to simply the utilisation of wmii. 

I arrange my opened programs in tabs [irc,mail,web,work].

For example, when i press MODKEY + Shift + f I want to open a new tab called 
web and open firefox inside.

So i'll add the following lines in my rc.wmii.local file :

fn Action-overridekeys {
### OTHER KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS

fn Key-$MODKEY-Shift-f { wmiir xwrite /ctl view web ; firefox }
}

But when i press MODKEY + Shift + f, it open firefox in the current tab
and when i close firefox, it create the web tab empty.

I'd tried with wmiir xwrite /ctl view web && firefox >> same problem!

What's wrong ?
