I just don't want to accidentally unstick any of those windows I randomly use to have floating around. Earlier I switched to use BOOKMARKED_WINDOW, but since I like to mark multiple windows in cthe same way one can do with toogle the sticky-ness, I asked in an earlier post how to do that. Jaimos Skriletz pointed me to use states - so now I hope to go that way full out. > ...there's.no code change required.

But as I now got infostore to work in the piperead, I feel I can live with that I need to use quotes until I find out why it not work as you described. -- /Peter Holm

I Wrote earlier "And why I don't use transient windows instead, well I have further plans to use the state call - which I described shortly in my previous post." I used the wrong term here. I meant sticky, not transient. And also - a few years ago I used sticky windows for that, but it was something with the behavior of sticky windows that didn't fill my needs - I don't remember what it was. But I decided to switch to bookmarked_window. And now I make the switch to states. which will take my config way further from what it is today because I can have multiple states to one window. It's more about to explore and learn the advantages of whats possible than find the simplest solution. 2018-12-26 19:26 GMT+01:00, Jaimos Skriletz : > On Wed, Dec 26, 2018 at 9:35 AM Peter Holm wrote: >> >> This is more or less a follow up from my earlier question. >> I have this >> --- >> Key Space A M State >> $[infostore.transi] True >> Key Space A C State >> $[infostore.transi] False >> >> .. >> AddToFunc StartFunction >> + I InfostoreAdd transi 31 >> >> >> >> Then when I switch desk/workspace I let the window(s) follow me > > Why not just use Sticky for this.

No need to define a custom state to make it so windows move to a new workspace (pages/desktops) when you do. (sorry for the duplicate reply, forgot to CC the list) jaimos
FVWM: Escaping calls to State and Infosostore in piperead
This is more or less a follow up from my earlier question. I have this --- Key Space A M State $[infostore.transi] True Key Space A C State $[infostore.transi] False .. AddToFunc StartFunction + I InfostoreAdd transi 31 Then when I switch desk/workspace I let the window(s) follow me .. DestroyFunc GoLeft AddToFunc GoLeft ... + I PipeRead "\ if [ $[page.nx] -gt 0 ]; then\ echo All '(State 31)' MovetoPage -1p 0p;\ echo GotoPage -1p 0p;\ elif [ $[desk.n] -eq 0 ]; then\ ... I would like to replace All '(State 31)' with All '(State $[infostore.transi] )' but it makes the GoLeft function not work Any suggestions.? And why I don't use transient windows instead, well I have further plans to use the state call - which I described shortly in my previous post.
