The Fixed font is superb. For unicode I've had great luck with -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* which has flawless greek support as well as support for a variety of arrows, miscellaneous and technical glyphs. I discovered the fixed font after I decided I wanted to take notes for physics class on my laptop. I have also written a handy script that utalizes dmenu and a hierarchical file format to browse, select, and copy unicode charecters to the keyboard. I'll post the script to the list in the near future.

Re: [dwm] last.fm + youtube downloader scripts
Using the external browser is a great hack, especially since w3m supports three of them. For mplayer scripting, I use the following command: mplayer -really-quiet $URL /dev/null When I want high-quality videos, I manually edit the script to add fmt=18 to the end of line starting URL=. This will increase web traffic, but will give a much better picture.

[dwm] last.fm + youtube downloader scripts
Hello again, While I'm at it, I might as well share a pair of my media scripts which are extremely helpful when it comes to handling web A/V from command line browsers. These two files are various bash scripts I've written [or adjusted] for CLI media-related activities. mcfmod is a heavy modification of a last.fm mpd player which allows a user to play specific songs, artists, genres, or songs via mpd and the command line. mcf --help details syntax. The script as I have it now will download and label a single mp3 file from a specified genre, artist, or etc. The script depends on id3, xmlstarlet, and misc. other the standard GNU-linux tools. youtubedl is a fairly short bash script which, given a youtube URL, provides an mplayer-able or wget'able download URL. While this is definitely not the shortest of youtube download scripts, it is extremely readable and sends the minimum required information to the youtube servers. This script can be used as a basis for other, similar scripts. I run mcfmod in a while [ True ] loop on my server, slowly filling up the 300gb sata drive I have in there with assorted house and techno music. youtubedl I am currently working on binding to a hotkey in w3m to allow near-seamless viewing of youtube videos from a command line browser.

Re: [dwm] last.fm + youtube downloader scripts
Hi All,
Perhaps my first 'release' was premature. In testing I found
a rather atrocious bug which rendered my script useless with some
youtube videos.
I just completed a partial rewrite and have tested it with great success.
##CODE##
UGETURL=$(curl -s $1 |grep fullscreenUrl)
URLPARAMS=${UGETURL#*/watch_fullscreen}
SPLIT=`echo $URLPARAMS | sed -e 's//\n/g'`
video_id=`echo $SPLIT | grep video_id=`
t=`echo $SPLIT | grep t=`
URL=http://www.youtube.com/get_video?$video_id$t;
echo $URL
##/CODE##
The bug came from having the positions or t and video_id hardcoded via awk.
By splitting URLPARAMS and grepping for t and video_id, the script can
extract the information necessary no matter where it is located.
As for setting up a hotkey in w3m, I got distracted from
the manpage by my bugfix but I'll post to the mailing
list as soon as I have it figured out.
Best,

[dwm] subnotebooks take two
Hi all, Paralleling the dwm-on-subnotebook discussion of a few months back, I have two things to share. First off: I've spun a dwm/debian build for the OLPC XO. The XO is a tiny, durable, water resistant laptop with an amazing 1200x900 7.5 display. More details on the hardware can be found here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Hardware_specification I use my XO as my day-to-day computer, irregardless of it's florescent green colors. With DWM, the two display modes I use most often are monocole and reversed gridmode(columns instead of rows). I find that its screen, while comparitively tiny, is sufficient for reading ebooks, browsing the web on w3m or a remote firefox session, and for editing documents on a remote OpenOffice session or with nano. I also, shamefully enough, use the device as a thinclient for my school's remote desktop server. DWM is particularlly conducive to the above actions due to its small size, hotkeys, and incredibly efficient use of screen realestate. The STDIN functionality of the menu bar is also useful as it allows me to display my battery level on a system which most battery monitoring applets choke due to it's disues of ACPI. Another often-used suckless app on my XO is dmenu, which I use with a custom script to rotate the screen, suspend the laptop, change the backlight, and so on. Thanks for all the awesome software you all have put together! Second off: The HP2133 mininote is on sale on amazon. Running linux out of the box, the thing packs a 1280x768 8.9 screen, this thing isn't affected by the most significant limitation of most subnotebooks, the puny screen.

Say, there are five windows with currently viewed tag and you're viewing the third window in the stack; then there could be an indicator like: [3/5] or [..*..]. What do you guys think about that? This idea is rather old and it was implemented once in some official version of dwm. However, because it is only interesting for 1 particular layout, namely monocle, it has been removed again. AFAIR the solution to the problem was a change to the Layout struct, instead of defining a simple symbol string for the layout, I used some function pointer which returned the layout symbol string. When using this indicator for some time, I concluded that it wasn't obvious enough to be useful, especially because the information nth client of X clients doesn't give you much -- you rarely remember the client order anyways. Because of the fact that dwm is a dynamic window manager, my recommended solution is to switch to some appropriate layout before you focus the particular client you are looking for, and then switching to monocle again. So, the way I use monocle is usually only on a client basis or on very few clients -- there is the powerful tagging concept for grouping the clients you work on. With this in mind, this idea won't go mainstream again ;) Also, implementing the alt-tab to switch between the windows on that tab would seem to make sense. The philosophy behind dwm and all other less suckish projects I'm involved in follows the idea that there should be only 1 distinct operation to perform a certain function. If any feature of some software can only and always be performed in using 1 distinct operation (which never changes), then it is easier to remember and to use. Hence one indicator of bad software design is if there are plenty ways performing the same operation (e.g. having an icon to click on, a shortcut, a menu entry, a context menu entry, another shortcut, etc). This indication applies to vim unfortunately -- there is :wq and ZZ and what not for instance -- it basically performs the same operations, polluting your command space unnecessarily and making you think a lot which is the fastest way to perform a certain operation in a certain situation, that sucks). The only exception regarding the 1 distinct operation paradigm is to allow only 1 distinct different way in performing it, if there is a different input device, like the mouse. Having two key bindings for the same thing also makes the usage less consistent, because Mod1-Tab (in default setup) has a totally different meaning. So IMHO Mod1-j/Mod1-k are the navigation shortcuts in all layouts (at least in default setup). And if you are unhappy with this, feel free to change it in config.h. Kind regards, --Anselm :q! Sorry just thought that I was in vi ;). Just wanted to add that I didn't know about Mod1-j and Mod1-k in monocle. Thanks for the explaination - now it makes sense to me.
