Sounds like a good use-case for wmii's dynamic tagging system. I create task-based views all the time, particularly temporary ones: Imagine that you're programming. You have your text editor, a bunch of terminals, a web browser for searching, a PDF viewer for reading a reference e-book, and a terminal for reading man pages. Suddenly you've figured out how to implement that thing you've been working on all day: all you need now, for distraction-free implementation, is your text editor and the reference material (say in a man page). In this scenario, I simply use the client grouping feature of my wmiirc (which really just adds a special tag to certain clients) and group the text editor and man page window. Next I press C-A-Right, which is my shortcut for create a temporary view and then auto-arrange the clients inside it, and boom! I'm ready to code. When I'm finished, I press C-A-Left to destroy the temporary view, send the grouped clients back, and take me back where I started. :) -- Do you think there's a God?

I don't get everyone's obsession with destroying tags. It's not like they take up memory on your machine or anything. They're just a bitmask! Just compile in a bunch of tags and leave it at that. Simple. cls
Re: [dev] [dwm] layers
I think what he means is he wants the number of tags to dynamically grow and shrink on the fly given some key combination according to his workflow that day. A hypothetical example - On Monday's he conference calls with other people in the office and has to use skype and thunderbird and other junk and wants n number of tags. However, from Tuesday to Sunday he doesn't need to have any conference calls and thus doesn't need tags for skype or other crap and so would like to have (n - m) number of tags, where m n. Recompiling dwm every Sunday night or Monady morning seems like a hassle. I /think/ thats what he means... I think.

No, recompiling proves you're a real hacker, not possible *troll und wech*
[dev] [dwm] layers
Hi, I wonder if there is a dwm patch implementing layer. What I mean by layer ? For instance, I have a tag named com (communication) and rules to launch thunderbird and skype in that tag (I know they suck, any suggestions are welcome). I want to simultaneously have thunderbird in monocle mode and skype in tile mode in the same tag and switch between them (_all_ thunderbird windows and _all_ skype windows) like if they are simple windows. I dont know if I was clear! Any hints ?

I think what you want is the pertag patch, which, if I'm not completely wrong, allows you to choose your layout per tag. Then you can have a tag for Thunderbird and a tag for Skype and set them to different layouts. Does that work for you? --Andrew Hills

For example, if I want a third application for chat (I don't know, say pidgin) I have to create a new tag, and it's not very handy to create a new tag for each new application I install. Plus, this layer system may help to simulate tabs (even more powerful 'cause we can have layouts). Thanks anyway, may be I should try to implement it myself.

Plus, the system really interest me and I wanted to check out if it doesn't already exist before I start trying to understand the dwm code and messing with it.

Like I sayed before I don't want to have many tags. For organisation matter, I dont think this is the way to go.
