generally i use numeric tagnames in wmii, because it's easier and faster to tag
with and to navigate between views.
but numbers are'nt of any information about what is that tag for.
so i scripted wmii to support "tag comments"; the comment is some string, which
may be assotiated with tag, and will be shown in tagbar/tagmenu after the tag
name. maybe someone will find that feature useful too.
paste these lines somewhere near tagging rules:
#------
#predefined tag comments (example)
TAG_COMMENTS=$(cat<<!
1 -> www
3 -> dev
4 -> icq
!
)
#string to delimit tag name and tag comment in tagbar/tagmenu
TAG_CDELIM="-"
#outputs tag name with optional comment
tag_display() {
echo -n $1`echo "$TAG_COMMENTS" | sed -n
's|^'$1'\s->\s\(.*\)$|'$TAG_CDELIM'\1|p'`
}
#------
paste these to keys definition block:
#------
#set comment for current view tag ('d' for 'describe')
Key $MODKEY-Shift-d
tag_choosen=`wmiir read /tag/sel/ctl`
new_comment=$(echo | $WMII_MENU)
TAG_COMMENTS=`echo "$TAG_COMMENTS" | sed
'/^'$tag_choosen'\s->\s/d'`
if [ -n "$new_comment" ]
then
TAG_COMMENTS=$TAG_COMMENTS$'\n'"$tag_choosen ->
$new_comment"
fi
wmiir xwrite "/lbar/$tag_choosen" "$WMII_FOCUSCOLORS"
"$(tag_display "$tag_choosen")"
#------
replase tagsmenu() function with:
#------
tagsmenu() {
all_tags=`wmiir ls /tag | sed 's|/||; /^sel$/d'`
for tag in $all_tags
do
menu_tags="$menu_tags"$(tag_display "$tag")$'\n'
done
choice=`echo -n "$menu_tags" | $WMII_MENU`
for tag in $all_tags
do
if [ "$choice" = "$(tag_display "$tag")" ]
then
echo -n "$tag"
return 0
fi
done
echo "$choice"
}
#------
and, finally, replace tag name in all wmiirc tag names display code with
"$(tag_display $tag_name)"
#------
Event CreateTag
echo "$WMII_NORMCOLORS" "$(tag_display "$@")" | wmiir create
"/lbar/$@"
#------
#------
Event FocusTag
wmiir xwrite "/lbar/$@" "$WMII_FOCUSCOLORS" "$(tag_display
"$@")"
Event UnfocusTag
wmiir xwrite "/lbar/$@" "$WMII_NORMCOLORS" "$(tag_display "$@")"
Event UrgentTag
shift
wmiir xwrite "/lbar/$@" "*""$(tag_display "$@")"
Event NotUrgentTag
shift
wmiir xwrite "/lbar/$@" "$(tag_display "$@")"
#------
#------
# Setup Tag Bar
seltag="$(wmiir read /tag/sel/ctl 2>/dev/null)"
wmiir ls /lbar |
while read bar; do
wmiir remove "/lbar/$bar"
done
wmiir ls /tag | sed -e 's|/||; /^sel$/d' |
while read tag; do
if [ "X$tag" = "X$seltag" ]; then
echo "$WMII_FOCUSCOLORS" "$(tag_display "$tag")" | wmiir create
"/lbar/$tag"
else
echo "$WMII_NORMCOLORS" "$(tag_display "$tag")" | wmiir create
"/lbar/$tag"
fi
done
