Hi,
extending the patch with automagic-tagging and automagic-moving of on window start
This patch needs changes to the core of xmonad to work, but most work is done is in the TagWindows module: - add/delete tags - automatically adding tags on window creation based on window class, name, command - use tags for automagically assigning workspaces to windows (including floating status) * adding a tag "~" makes the window floating initially
This could play quite well with mplayer.
* adding a existing workspace id will move the window to workspace with that id, e.g. adding "2" will move the window to the second workspace
Then you need to define some specific groups of tags, like "1", "2",... for workspace and the "~" for floating. Otherwise, it could easily get confused when you assign more integers to it, couldn't it?
- change focus restricted to a group of windows with a specified tag, either only on the current workspace or globally
The two rules in tagMatches below state: - tag every window with WM_CLASS = gimp with the tags "2" and "~", thus moving them to workspace "2" and float them - tag every xterm window which has "screen" as an argument gets with "abc"
As it is a bit invasive I'd like to hear your comments.
Regards, Karsten
As you described, it looks quite impressive. And I really like this idea. Apart from assigning predefined tags, I'd like a method to change the tag dynamically. Could it be a smart way to use the XPrompt code to assign the tag and later choose some specific tag? -- c/* __o/* <\ * (__ */\ <
