Hi all, I'm partly just writing this to myself, to make note of the neat ideas I've had recently for new layout modifiers, and partly so you'll know what I might be up to soon, and partly in hope that someone else will implement them first, since I'm not sure when I'll have time to work on this. If any of these interest any of you, I'd be glad to explain my idea more fully, and let you take all the credit! :) (Or if you want to vote for what I work on when I've got time, you could do that, too... or suggest better module names.) 1. WindowNavigator A layout modifier that keeps track of the rectangles of visible windows and a "cursor" point, to allow keybindings for "shift focus up/down/left/right" in a real geometric manner. It's independent of the tiling algorithm used. A key point is that moving left followed by right will always return focus to its original position (except sometimes if the layout of the screen changes when you move focus left). 2. StrutLayout Automatically arrange screens so that windows won't overlap struts. This should involve changes to core, but may not *need* to involve changes to core. 3. Float A float layout (distinct from the current "float" layer) drawing title bars on the windows, so you can drag them around with one hand. Maybe even close boxes. 4. ToggleLayouts Allow for toggling between two layouts. Useful for allowing toggling of full screen mode, as in ion3. I'd much rather have this than include full in a rotating set of layouts. The easiest are (1) and (4), followed by (3). (2) would require learning more x-windows API than I currently do (to identify the struts/status bars). -- David Roundy Department of Physics Oregon State University
