Re: [dwm] focus changes with recent dwm
Hi Jukka, you are right, I removed the selscreen stuff, but if there are still some classical multihead users I would reconsider this decision. Kind regards, Anselm On Sun, Apr 06, 2008 at 04:03:17PM +0200, Jukka Salmi wrote: Hi, I haven't really followed dwm development during the latest weeks or even months. Somewhere between 4.7 and current tip focus behaviour changed: when starting a program on a different screen (e.g. running `DISPLAY=:0.1 xclock' from terminal on screen 0), focus now moves to that program. Previously it did not move. Is this considered a feature? Is there an easy way to get the old behaviour back? Glancing at the code revealed that selscreen is gone...

[dwm] togglemax substiute in 4.9?
hi, as `togglemax' seems gone in 4.9: I agree, that `monocle' is very useful (and superior). the only problem is (seems?) that one cannot easily toggle back and forth to the previous layout. rather, one needs to cycle through all 4 layouts right now, it seems. this is not so nice... question: is their a chance to get a kind of `togglemonocle' functionality into dwm without writing it myself? this would seem a frequent demand: activate monocle for some time than switch back to tiling (or whatever layout was in effect previously). w.r.t. to `floating': I find it always rather annoying that leaving `floating' layout, i.e. going to some tiling layout, there is no way of going back to floating while getting back the previously manually selected arrangements of windows. I admit, I use `floating' rarely, but when I do, the above behaviour comes into the way quite often. the problem with destroying floating arrangements by selecting a diferent layout is, of course, especially severe because layout changes act global. question: any chance of making `dwm' remember any `floating' positioning information on a per-window basis which would enable restoration of positions when coming back to floating layout? regards, joerg
Re: [dwm] togglemax substiute in 4.9?
Hi Joerg,
question: is their a chance to get a kind of `togglemonocle'
functionality into dwm without writing it myself? this would
seem a frequent demand: activate monocle for some time than
switch back to tiling (or whatever layout was in effect
previously).
I had a similar demand, and I solved it by using a custom defgeom, as
the following in config.h :
DEFGEOM(full, 0, sh,sw, 0, 0, sw,sh, wx, wy, sw, sh, mx+mw, wy,
ww-mw, wh, wx, wy, ww, wh)
Geom geoms[] = {
/* symbol function */
{ [], single }, /* first entry is default */
{ [f],full },
};
With this configuration, I got something similar to togglemax() by
using Ctrl+Mod+Space.

julien,
thanks for responding. I've not dived into the new `geom'
stuff yet, but tried your patch simply as is. I find that it
always maximizes the master area, irrespective of current
focus (but keeps the focused window in the foreground). is
that as it should be?
so, this patch helps some, but a real `togglelayout' would
be nicer :-)

Makes sense. I'd prefer

though to make sure dmenu is not passed an empty argument in case
dmenu_run is called without arguments.

Why? This is equivalent...

Hmm, for few directories and lots of files this is indeed slightly
faster.
- done | sort | uniq $CACHE.$$
- mv $CACHE.$$ $CACHE

+ mv $CACHE.$$ $CACHE
-cat $CACHE

Not all sort(1)s have a -u option. However, the '' is a good idea,
as is the quoting.

Besides the quoting, one and a half lines less. :)

Whoops, sorry then. I had checked SuS, heirloom toolchest, the autoconf
portability manual and DJB's portability notes and none of them mentioned
a missing -u option.
