This would be fairly disturbing when using mod_query "query_attachclient" and "query_gotoclient", since those need the exact clientwindow name. If they were able to "grep" or "glob" what you type in this wouldn't be a problem (ie. if I only type "Firef", this would give me my Firefox and whatever web address I'm visiting) but you'll have to handle problems when there are more than one possibility (ie. I have several Firefoxes managed by Ion). In fact, those two functions, or using the windowlist menu, may be a much cleaner solution to the source problem Yojuancho was speaking about : quick switching between apps. > Since in the default binding for numbered frame switching is > 'Mod1+K n', it might be better to display number tags after > Mod1+K has been pressed.

Maybe you can add a function that toggles tab enumerating, instead of just displaying these a short time, but I don't know if it would be hard to manage enumeration when killing/moving/creating clientwindows in each tab. -- Sylvain Abelard,
