Hi, I find it useful to move and resize windows without the mouse in dwm. Here's a revision of an old patch that was out there. Mine is based on 5.6.1. Caveat emptor: I'm not sure about some of the innards of dwm. I have some comments in the code below which I'd like answers to, if anyone

[dev] [tabbed] Opening new tab as the last one

2009-11-18 Thread Tadeusz Sośnierz
Hello, I'm always thinking about this while using tabbed with surf: would it be possible for tabbed to open the new instances in the background, not as the new main tab? I think it would be especially nice when using surf, so one can open a few tabs from links from one page, without moving around
