Would anyone give more detail? TIA - regards, GPG key 1024D/4434BAB3 2008-08-24 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4434BAB3

Would anyone give more detail? Try moving tiled windows with the mouse. (Make sure there are multiple windows on screen.) It should look like this: http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliding_puzzle

Since i use dvtm i don't have more than a terminal in a tiled tag anymore but all the terminals has been moved to one dvtm session and the rest (iceweasel, aMSN, etc.) is floating or maximized, so i don't need such feature at all. OTOH i wouldn't have its opposite feature: auto-floating when move a tiled client. This mean that i prefer to have this patch in mainstream instead of the current implementation. I'm perfectly happy keeping this out of the trunk, but I think the auto-floating behavior really needs to go. BTW, changeset 1213:368a80dcf5bd makes auto-float active only when snap is nonzero, which I believe is a mistake. (offtopic) I find it strange how many people use dwm mostly for monocle-mode. I used Ratpoison for years because I assumed that any alternative would require that I install gkrellm, turn on fake transparency in my xterms, and use some sci-fi wallpaper. Finally I got fed up with Ratpoison because you need to deal with its awkward frames if you don't want a monocle-mode. The irony is that it's 16k lines of code, but has fewer useful (to me) features than dwm. Anyway, thanks Anselm, for keeping dwm clean and hackable!

Hi, awesomewm (and my dwm) move windows within the clients list instead of turning on 'floating', and I very much prefer it that way. Interesting feature, could you send a patch ? -- Tinoucas

Though i don't want to toggle the window floating automatically and i prefer to check for arg and arg-v before to use it. --snip-- I still use moveresize since it's a wrapper for the resize() function not strictly related to the keyboard. Isn't? THX for your help, dwm is going to be perfect for me. I concur, and would go as far as to suggest that maybe: 1) if the window is not floating, move it around the clients list or update mfact, and 2) this all get unified with movemouse and resizemouse. awesomewm (and my dwm) move windows within the clients list instead of turning on 'floating', and I very much prefer it that way.
