Hi,

Just a question inspired by this thread:

I use both dwm and dvtm. And when I am forced to use windoze I use
cygwin+dwm too, so I almost always use dvtm from within dwm -- when I log
to other remote machines of mine. (That's why I like the Status bar of dvtm
too). I slowly get used to type C-g-<whatever> but often it is still a bit
confusing when I'm not aware that I'm inside dvtm, and expect to move
around with MOD-<whatever>...

The best way to cope with this seems to me to be a key binding for
switching on/off grabbing MOD in dwm. Say, MOD-g, like in
- MOD-3         // goto tag "3", where the dvtm terminal is running
- MOD-G         // stop grabbing MOD 
- MOD-j,k,...   // do what I want in dvtm with the dwm/dvtm key bindings 
- MOD-G         // (uppercase G!=g dvtm grid layout) start grabbing MOD
- MOD-<.>       // back in dwm world 

Well, _not grab_ is perhaps better said  _pass through_, I don't know ...

Does this sound meaningful?
Is it doable without much overhead?

Thanks!
