Well I'm not sure about what would be the best way to implemented this but config wise it would be nice to have a "show on every group/desktop/workspace" property that could be changed inside hooks or via key press, actually several stacking wm like openbox, blackbox and kwin have this option in the window header along with maximize, minimize, close, etc, not sure if this also applies to tiling wm though. Another point that I thought just now is that I might be approaching it in the wrong way, yakuake actually works fine when floating, the only problem is if I open it in a group then switch to another group then if I press the yakuake key to open/retract it won't work I have to go to the group where I opened it, retract it, go back to the other group and open it again. I have tried running "qdbus-qt4 org.kde.yakuake /yakuake/window toggleWindowState" but if I'm on a different group it won't respond. Is it maybe a bug in yakuake? or simply groups in qtile are completely different to workspaces in kde? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qtile-dev" group.
