Re: Some questions from an awesome beginner
Tags in the awesome sense are basically 2 things, one you see them and can use them as something similar to workspaces, 2 you can assign a tag to an app for a tag/workspace it is not currently on and it will appear there also, the fun thing about this is, that the app is not a seperate instance but the same instance of that application which means that if it is a doc then edits are in both places, if it is an app Music Player (dumb example) it is in both places. This is great for having a reference document that you need to use with other documents and you may have to edit also, and you can have it on as many tags as you need.

No worries. Couldn't agree move. For me the gnome-sound-applet does the trick for controlling the master pulseaudio volume, and everything else is done using pavucontrol. gnome-sound-applet does not exist anymore. Using amixer sset (it is beautiful to use the notification for that cf. https://github.com/kiike/** scripts/blob/master/volume.shhttps://github.com/kiike/scripts/blob/master/volume.sh) has a bug where it does not unmute, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/** ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+**bug/878986https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/878986 . (Until now, I spent ~10 hours with awesome and has not finished yet!) Well, I noticed several people are happy with that. But I am too habituated to have some applications at fixed size and at fixed locations, and minimise them when I do not need them. Perhaps you are among those people who would never adopt to tiling, but honestly speaking, I doubt it. Instead of minimizing applications, just switch to a fresh tag... Yeah, that might take a little getting used to. I also starting using mostly two or three tags like I did with workspaces under gnome. But now I always have 10-15 tags open, each with it's specific set of applications. I do not really understand how to use tags. My work flow involves the use of emacs, always open at left, with agenda and various post-it notes (random thoughts), thunderbird at the left half of the screen (minimised except when reading e-mail), firefox at the right half, and two terminals at bottom left and right, always opened. All these apps do not change position. From terminals I start applications (pdf viewer etc.) which float anywhere on the screen. When I have not done with an application (read half of a pdf doc for ex.) and have to swith to other things, I minimise it. Thus, I have it always in the eyes, as if it were in the TODO list. I have never more than ~10 windows opened, since it becomes too complex to manage for me; I prefer working on 1-3 things at a time. So what the tags can improve in this work flow? (The only thing I see to optimise is that often I open/minimise thunderbird to check messages or start an e-mail.) Well, I still use gnome-terminal, so the settings are the same as in gnome. Still, in gnome there was a bell, now there is not. And terminal bell is checked on in terminal settings. Hmm, a bit strange... Perhaps Gnome configured sound system in some way at start? Do you have any sounds at all? I guess you might need to take a llok at alsa/pulseaudio/whatever else is there... I'd guess it's some kind of xbelld thing within gnome. Have not yet found a solution for that. -- Eugen -- To unsubscribe, send mail to awesome-unsubscribe@naquadah.**orgawesome-unsubscr...@naquadah.org . -- Gerald Klein DBA contac...@geraldklein.com www.geraldklein.com http://geraldklein.com/ geraldklein.wordpress.com j...@zognet.com 708-599-0352 Arch Awesome, Ranger Vim the coding triple threat.

Opening Apps On Screens
Hi, I have a little problem, I load MPlayer into screen 2 tag 1, now when I start VMWare (vmplayer) it loads into screen 2 tag 1, Not earth shattering problem but kind of annoying because I load multiple vm's at once and they all head for that tag. I tested it by changing the rule to put MPlayer into another screen and tag and that's where vmware ended up. The classes for the windows are similar but not the same and it seems like the matching is using a contains and not an equals, is there a way to make this work right? Vmplayer and vmplayer MPlayer and mplayer I am using version v3.4.15 thanks for any help Gerald Klein DBA contac...@geraldklein.com www.geraldklein.com http://geraldklein.com/ geraldklein.wordpress.com j...@zognet.com 708-599-0352 Arch Awesome, Ranger Vim the coding triple threat.

Moving apps to screens and apps to tags
Hi, I was lamenting about sending apps to specific screens and tags a while
back using the right side keypad, which is more convenient for me then say
'modkey-shift 1' above the keyboard. Thats gonna take 2 hands unless you
are good at hand gymnastics, I played an instrument and I can't do it. I
finally got back to it and I tried using like 'KP_1' etc never worked for
me. So now I tried using key codes and voila! so what I have is this
This will move an app to a specific screen, using what is my right key pad
number 1, 2 or 3
though you will have to experiment as keycodes can be different. Also my
screens
from left to right ended up being 1,3,2 as below is illustrating.
awful.key({ modkey, }, #87, function (c)
awful.client.movetoscreen(c, 1) end), --screen 1
awful.key({ modkey, }, #88, function (c)
awful.client.movetoscreen(c, 3) end), --screen 2
awful.key({ modkey, }, #89, function (c)
awful.client.movetoscreen(c, 2) end), --screen 3
next thing was apps to specific tags... Now I know this should be in a
loop. I will get to that at some point but
this sends apps to a specific tag on the current screen, and combining
modkey with Mod1 which in my case is 'alt' key
you can go above 9.
for those who don't know, use xev to get your keycodes.
awful.key({ Mod1, }, #87, function (c)
awful.client.movetotag(tags[c.screen][1]) end),
awful.key({ Mod1, }, #88, function (c)
awful.client.movetotag(tags[c.screen][2]) end),
awful.key({ Mod1, }, #89, function (c)
awful.client.movetotag(tags[c.screen][3]) end),
awful.key({ Mod1, }, #83, function (c)
awful.client.movetotag(tags[c.screen][4]) end),
awful.key({ Mod1, }, #84, function (c)
awful.client.movetotag(tags[c.screen][5]) end),
awful.key({ Mod1, }, #85, function (c)
awful.client.movetotag(tags[c.screen][6]) end),
awful.key({ Mod1, }, #79, function (c)
awful.client.movetotag(tags[c.screen][7]) end),
awful.key({ Mod1, }, #80, function (c)
awful.client.movetotag(tags[c.screen][8]) end),
awful.key({ Mod1, }, #81, function (c)
awful.client.movetotag(tags[c.screen][9]) end),
awful.key({ modkey, Mod1}, #90, function (c)
awful.client.movetotag(tags[c.screen][10]) end),
