2007/1/16, Archie Elberling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hello,
I have a vague idea this has been discussed before, but since it was a simple
patch, I wrote it anyway and you can do what you like with it.
My main irratation with stock dwm* is that if you have multiple tags selected
then when you create a window it will be tagged with all the currently selected
tags.
Personally I have a tag I'm working on primarily, but will swap other tags in
and out as I work which contain specific window(s). This tag adds a mastertag
variable which is used as follows:
* initally tag 0 is the master tag.
* new windows are tagged with mastertag only.
* if you switch tag with view, that tag becomes the mastertag.
* if you toggle the master tag off the lowest selected tag becomes master.
This patch won't be for everybody, but I thought someone might have a use for
it.
Regards,
Archie
*Apart from java, but my ire for that is fully aimed at sun
I was using for some time (aproximately dwm 2.0 or 1.*) a similar
thing. My tags were: 1, 2, 3, 4, web, irc, etc. And I had a define in
config.h:
#define WORKSPACES 4
then tags of new clients were only assigned to 1-4 tags, and when I
changed my view with MOD+1-4 I didn't make unvisible the other tags.
So, they were working like workspaces (though I could see more than
one at a time), and the rest of tags were some sort of sticky clients
(or groups of clients).
I know I haven't explained myself very well, this (and the fact that I
thought it would be usefull to nobody) is the reason I didn't tell
anything about this patch in the list, but it could give you some
ideas.
I was thinking about adding the funcionallity of remembering which
"sticky tags" were activated in each workspace, but after some time I
find more confortable - because of its simplicity - the tags
implementation in current dwm.
Salut!
