(Longtime pwm user, now switching over to the ion way... I'm currently
using ion2; should I be using ion3 at this point?)
I have a number of questions about how to set up ion to do a few various
things. I've looked through the mailing list archives and read
through the
manual, but haven't been able to figure out the following.
(Admittedly I
don't think I've yet groked the programming/configuration model well, so
some of the following may be simple/I may just be missing something.)
1. I'd like to set up MOD1+Tab so that it cycles focus through the
frames
on the current screen. (Order doesn't really matter, just so it's
consistent.) I usually have three frames up, so the default binding
kpress(DEFAULT_MOD.."Tab", WIonWS.goto_right) in ionws.lua isn't
quite what
I want. (It'd be fine if I only had two frames...) From the
documentation, I had hoped that I'd be able to call the
WMPlex.switch_next() method to do this (since WIonWS is a subclass of
WMPlex), but that doesn't seem to be working. What is the right way
to go
about doing this?
2. I'd like to set things up so that for a certain set of applications,
their windows open up in floating windows on top of the regular old
ionws
frames. I assume I want to use floatws for this, but I'm not sure
how. Do
I want to set things up with a floatws at the root, then an ionws inside
it, with the usual frames inside of that, and then windows from this
set of
applications are opened up as new WFloatFrames dynamically created as
necessary? Any tips/recipies for doing this?
thanks,
-matt
