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...

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?

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.

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...

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.

Thanks to the good people of these forums, I am up and semi-functional with spectrwm. But one issue has me stumped. The Goal: Left monitor - xterm in main area on left, gvim on right Right monitor - chrome full screen layout = ws[1]:0:0:0:0:vertical autorun = ws[1]:x-terminal-emulator autorun = ws[1...

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

spectrvm-on-ubuntu high on the list of things to do today

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.

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...

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...

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...

1. where are you located? USA
2. what is your favourite colour? Don't have one ... they're all pretty great

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 ...
