The only bindings I've got so many modifiers on are music control. C-M-S plus Left/Right to go to the previous/next song, Up/Down to change volume, and Tab to toggle pause. > I assume since you have no number pad that you're also on a > laptop. I'm going to assume with a 17 inch screen? Sometimes. Lately, I've been using a 24" 1920x1200 LCD and a 12" 1280x800 notebook. They're 94dpi and 125dpi. Before that, I was often on a 1024x768 notebook. Here's a shot from just before I retired it: http://toykeeper.net/tmp/nano-finished.png And FWIW, this is my current desktop: http://toykeeper.net/tmp/chi.2008-07-16.png It shows the communications desktop on my notebook. > As long as we're posting screenshots, ...

I guess I'm spatially-oriented, so I can easily remember where something is but not what number it is. And I tend to have more than 10 desktops... a minimum of 12, but sometimes more than 30. There just aren't enough number keys. > Sawfish is easily and by far the most versatile window manager > out there. It is unfortunate that the pool of talent that can > work on it is so small. I've gotten pretty spoiled by syntactic sugar. Most of what I found was that things I normally do in half a line would take several lines, because lisp tends toward writing out the parse tree instead of using syntactic shortcuts. ... And, I suppose, because I'm accustomed to a language where almost everything is a hash table, and most things in lisp are lists. > I loaded up your tabbing code a long time ago.

I got it working just barely well enough for my own use, and stopped. Producing working rep code was a very slow trial-and-error process for me and I couldn't justify a lot of time to work on it. > I'd very likely start using it a bunch if I had set up proper > key bindings for it. The only bindings I have for it are: C-Tab, M-Tab: raise tab to the left/right of current. H-g: put window into a tab group (press once to grab, move the mouse, then press it again to drop it into a group) I'd like to have a mousey grab-and-drop for tabs, but mostly just while showing people how it works. The concept is a lot more obvious when windows move gradually instead of teleporting. > The better though, at least for my purposes, would be to > auto-tabbify windows that I push to a particular quadrant/size. That would be pretty cool. I have no idea how to maintain the data structures for that in rep, though. :( -- Scott
