Hi all,
Is there now any reason why we can't have sticky windows? I'd love to be able to show the same xclock on every workspace, instead of having to start N xclocks. Actually, I'd like something akin to dwm's tagging, I believe (although I've never used it). I want something like "copy this window to that workspace." Is there any reason this would be tricky? Or undesirable? I have no idea how it'd interact with Xinerama, since two visible workspaces could then both contain the same window.
Potential issues with multi-workspace windows in the current StackSet: - functions like findIndex and delete assume a window is on only one workspace. You'll have trouble after the window closes. We could probably change this behavior. - multi-screen: when trying to view a window on two screens, the window will only be visible on the last screen rendered. There will be a gap in one screen, but perhaps that's not a big deal? - insert will refuse to add a duplicate window. I'm convinced this is the right behavior by default -- multi-tagging should be a separate function. If we change the delete behavior, I think we can do this in XMonadContrib. What do you think?
