[dwm] cycling through clients
Hi everyone,
I'm quite used to alt-tab like cycling through open program windows and
I was missing that in dwm.
I wrote one for the current version where
next_client() moves the next visible client to the master area and moves
the old one to the *end* of the stack ( counter clockwise movement )
and
prev_client() pulls the last visible client to the master area and moves
the current one to the top ( clock-wise )
just add this file to your config.h and make your bindings...
comments are welcome.
Client *next_visible();
Client *prev_visible(Client *c);
Client *last_client();
void attach_to_end(Client *c);
void next_client(const char *arg);
void prev_client(const char *arg);
void
attach_to_end(Client *c) {
Client *last = last_client();
if( last == NULL )
{
attach(c);
return;
}
last-next = c;
c-prev = last;
c-next = NULL;
}
Client*
prev_visible(Client *c)
{
Client* dum = c;
while( dum !isvisible(dum) )
dum = dum-prev;
return dum;
}

Re: [dwm] CPU comsumption
Michel Verdier [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi, When testing dwm (and wmii) I got a problem for 2 applications xemacs and firefox. When starting xemacs tiled it starts using CPU. Right and bottom borders are flickering. When starting or switching to float all is ok. The same problem occurs with wmii. A long time ago I have had this bug with another wm, I can't remember which one. So I suppose it's xemacs which behave badly. With firefox the same appears when reducing width of its windows down to ~150px. I have a 4.2 compiled. I can test patches. Thanks I haven't used xemacs but with emacs I don't have this problem. I'm also using firefox and I don't have this problem. Do you have flickering with firefox as well ? or just the cpu ? I also have 4.2.

this is pretty much illegible with only line numbers. I suggest you to
open the diff file and layout.c. It is pretty much easy to follow the
diff file and make the necessary changes. I also attach my own layout.c
so that you can adapt yours appropriately. (if you haven't edited your
layout file before, then you should have this layout in the end actually.)
