Re: Basic spectrwm question?
I actually didn't know I had a terminal choice. I think the fanciest feature I'd want, is copy/paste, possibly via context menu as my keyboard has a context menu key (maybe they all do - dunno). If xterm/urxvt/ST have that I'll give one or all a look. Your profile pic is truly revolting. Well done s...

Re: Basic spectrwm question?
Fyi here's a version of my dumb little script, that lets you put the delay in ~/.spectrwm.conf along with the command
#!/bin/bash
sleep $1
$("${@:2}")
Ex:
autorun = ws[1]:/usr/local/bin/sleep-and-run.sh 2s /usr/bin/gvim + -c startinsert ~/.spectrwm.conf
Any terminal recommendations?

Re: Basic spectrwm question?
Looks like /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper?
Alternatives being koi8rxterm, lxterm, uxterm, xterm.
I kind of hate not really knowing what my terminal is, or why.

Re: Basic spectrwm question?
Gotcha. Also I owe you an answer, to what terminal emulator I use. To be honest I have no idea but I copied the config and I'm going with x-terminal-emulator $ grep term ~/.spectrwm.conf | grep ^autorun autorun = ws[1]:x-terminal-emulator As for the rest, I started to get pissy, at the thought havin...

Re: Basic spectrwm question?
Thanks for the answer. So when I assign two apps to the same workspace, it's a race?
Happy to use Support in the future. I don't know how I missed it; I looked in HOW-TO to see if that was the place for questions, which it clearly wasn't, but somehow I didn't see SUPPORT.

Ty all. Ivan, I'd argue this is an unusual place for anyone.

Re: Introduction
Was that the right thread (CWM: Egeszsegedre! (586) Development Notes)? I just read the whole thing and I do not think I understood any of it. If it *is* the right thread, then I'll just reread and see if I can actually understand it better this time. Otherwise I will spare my poor brain.

Re: Introduction
Machinebacon, Thanks for the suggestion (and elaboration). I just read about spectrwm in the docs and it seems like a solid choice. I still haven't wrapped my head around adding a window manager, or switching among window managers, let alone adding a distro to my perfectly good vanilla Ubuntu instal...

Re: Thoughts on C#
It's my primary language professionally, and I love it. I came to it from Java, and it's way better than Java. Way better. I actually took my first C# job with no C# experience, back when C# experience was hard to find, and it was a great decision. As others have said a lot depends on the company it...

Re: Introduction
Btw rhowaldt I was having a hard look at herbstluftwm, which appears to be your wm of record. I like that its scripting language is bash, and it sounds like you essentially create your layout on the fly from the cmdline, which I would enjoy. Do you think herbstluftwm is perfectly suitable, for a fir...

Introduction
Hello. Linux novice. Got frustrated at having to manually position my terminal windows every time I open them ... read a little about window managers ... somehow ended up here. This looks like a fun place. Might be a few days before I can grab a spin and fire it up (or whatever the correct phrasing ...
