i recognised four ideas:
* navigation: simple navigation and client management (ordering matters)
* overview: list of icons, client names, for quick identification
* grouping: manage a set of clients together (automatically)
* persistency: get a group of clients back and running with the same state
i don't see why this would not make sense outside the browser context,
if it works for browsers then it should work for other similar
applications so this is a general wm task.
of course implementing this in general (outside the application) would
be hard: we don't know what information should be stored persistently,
which applications should be grouped and how to interact with the wm
without interfering with the application (one key shortcuts)
Very interesting.
Navigation: I think ordering new tabs close to the current tab in opera /
firefox is equivalent to creating additional windows with the same tags as
currently visible in dwm.
Overview: Good point. Dwm currently doesn't help here :(.
Grouping: Should we automatically create additional tags on the basis of
process name + few (configurable) arguments. That would group all xterms and
surf instances together at the same time respecting user tags.
Persistency: Oh man... I would love this feature :). Is there a way to store
tag information in the client windows?
