Hi,
( my first post to the awesome mailing list )
Firstly, a huge thanks to Julien and the rest of the crew
for such a wonderfully flexible and configurable window manager,
Yes ... it ... is ... awesome !!!
However, before everyone gets too happy and contented, I found
some really strange behaviour. I wrote a tiny rc.lua file
( included in full at the end of this message ), which simply
creates two tags as follows:
tag1 = tag( "1" )
tag1.screen = 1
tag2 = tag( "2" )
tag2.screen = 1
then sets up a table 'othertag':
othertag = { }
othertag[ tag1 ] = tag2
othertag[ tag2 ] = tag1
and finally defines a pair of global keys:
key( { }, "a", function ( )
local thistag = awful.tag.selected( )
if thistag == tag1 then
awful.tag.viewonly( othertag[ tag1 ] )
elseif thistag == tag2 then
awful.tag.viewonly( othertag[ tag2 ] )
end
end )
key( { }, "b", function ( )
local thistag = awful.tag.selected( )
awful.tag.viewonly( othertag[ thistag ] )
end )
So keys 'a' and 'b' should both simply flip between tags 1 and 2.
Key 'a' works fine, just as expected.
Key 'b' fails, however, with othertag[ thistag ] = nil .
Looking at the Lua code, it's hard to see how there could be
any difference whatsoever between the actions of the two keys.
Or am I doing something really really silly here?
