Hi
I really like it that you try to find new ways in window-management, I
like it that you try to stay simple and minimalistic. that made wmii so
powerful.
Thats why I began to wounder when I got this editable tag thing. What is
the motivation for the editable tag bar? You can easily accomplish
editing the tags with the wmiimenu. Or is there more behind editable tags?
It would be more helpful to get a TagClick, TitleClick and StackClick
or something like that when someone click inside the tag or
stack-position on the window bar, so the event-script can handle this
thing. I think this would be more powerful and less code as directly
editable tag.
Or did I not understand the way editable tag work? I did not find any
good informations about your next steps with wmii, so perhaps it makes
sense at some point. Please enlighten me ;)
The idea is basically stolen from Plan 9: all text should be snarfable
(selectable/copyable), plumbable and it should be editable where it seems fit.
Ideally, in wmii-4, everything you can do by keyboard shortcuts, you'll be
able to do with the keyboard and mouse (i.e. sans shortcuts), and you'll be
able to snarf/plumb any text in the wm. Editing of the tag bar will most
likely be handled by wmiirc through events, as will plumbing. The acme paper
(http://cm.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/acme.html) is a good place to start if you
want the 'philosiphy' behind it. (The plumbing paper, in the same directory,
wouldn't hurt either).
