Hi folks! Is it possible to use tiling w/ dualhead? i.e. have a separate tiling area on each monitor - so that if you move a window from monitor 0 to monitor 1 in floating mode and then move it to the tiling layer, it stays on monitor 1. (The way it works for my setup right now is that it's

Hey, We aren't intending to have 'readline' bindings, readline just happens to have a few useful bindings we can steal. On 14/11/2011, Bastien Dejean wrote: > C-w is not extremely useful as it considers that anything except > 'space' is a word character. I actually find this more useful. A lot

Hi, A few problems with the current 'readline' bindings: C-w is not extremely useful as it considers that anything except 'space' is a word character. #| That's now the default bash behavior and it can be overcome by appending the following lines to your .inputrc: set bind-tty-special-chars

Hey all, I noticed today that dwm has click-to-focus monitors (if those monitors have no clients), which seemed to me a bit at odds with dwm's general sloppy focus approach. I've attached a patch which fixes this for my multimonitor setup, at least. (Also, why is the XWindowAttributes variable in
