hmm... i sometimes use dvtm in dwm well am sticking to using thangs i can get from ubuntu's packages but this way of combining dvtm & dwm is not smart?
yes i also think that the key-bindings of dvtm is a bit tidious but if it becomes the same with dwm i cannot use dvtm in dwm .. right? if there could be an interactive mode switcher for dvtm that would be great On Tue, Sep 16, 2008 at 06:16:41PM +0200, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi, > > Just a question inspired by this thread: > > * Donald Chai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2008-08-29 14:10]: > > Another thing is that since I use dvtm when I can't use dwm, I have > > ALT-j cycle through windows, rather than "CTRL-g j".
