wmutils / sxhkd
Re: swm
So much love for swm & wmutils in there, thanks for this !
@dkeg: dcat wrote swm by taking inspiration from 2bwm, so you might like it as well. Now it's meant to be used with wmutils, as it will only handle the mouse, and windiw borders (it has double borders too!)
You guys might want to check the opt and contrib repos of the wmutils project. They contain alternative tools and scripts that reproduce others WM behaviors, and more!
Here is a non exhaustive list of what I managed to do with wmutils :
+ tiling (master/stack area)
+ fullscreen toggle
+ teleport to corners
+ sloppy focus
+ group/workspace management
I can also do things that NO window managr can do!
+ contextual borders
+ rainbow/pulsing borders
+ grid selector
+ ...
A quick overview of the possibilities: http://raw.z3bra.org/vid/wmutils-is-cool.webm
Possibilities are (i hope) endless! I just can't think of new things to do withbit, and that's why we need some fresh ideas from other users. Feel free to open pull/feature requests, as we will always welcome them!
Thanks for using our job, we truly appreciate it. You're awesome !

Re: swm
Indeed, awesome work, I really like wmutils and wrote a little maximizer (I usually just need one window open 'per workspace') based on the 'center of the screen' example on the github page.
No space left for a panel because I don't use one ;)
Edit: maybe we can open a thread for wmutils?
Code: Select all
#/bin/bash
# maximize and stfu
WID=$(pfw)
ROOT=$(lsw -r)
SW=$(wattr w $ROOT)
SH=$(wattr h $ROOT)
chwb -s 0 $WID
wtp 0 0 $SW $SH $WID
Edit: maybe we can open a thread for wmutils?

Re: swm
Yeah that could be nice! Should it be a thread to share scrots or scripts?

Re: swm
@machinebacon: Also, for your WM idea (one window per workspace), you could do the following
using wew(1) from the opt repo, and sxhkd(1) from baskerville:
This one will define what happens when a new window is created (so putting it
fullscreen, on top of others and add its ID to a file), and deletion (remove
the ID from the file). You can add this script to your .xinitrc for more
convenience
Then this script would help you switch between windows. It will put the window
with index $1 (in the text file) on top of others
And finally, bind your favorite keys to this script via sxhkd:
You might also want to check the "focus.sh" script in contrib to be able to alt-tab between them as well.
Damn I love when people come up with new ideas for wmutils! Thanks machinebacon!

Re: swm
Thank you, z3bra, this looks damned good. Great idea with putting the newly created window on top of the stack. Gotta try it right away!
Of course I already use sxhkd for the bindings :)

Re: wmutils / sxhkd
I'm lost already... Must be a good sign :)
Re: wmutils / sxhkd
Okay, it has been long time coming. I have been motivated, then lost it, happy to live in my configured world. But finally, it was Chef that gave the push that worked. And it was good timing too as the family is away, home all by my lonesome. I transferred my recently designed xbindkeysrc to sxhkd, which actually was more difficult that I had expected. I started with SWM, but also have working only using wm-utils. That is what I'm currently using.
So here is my newly configured sxhkdrc
Your turn Chef

Re: wmutils / sxhkd
I'm having trouble with wew.
*nevermind, I'm an idiot. Got that.
With 4 different cloned git repos and a few scripts being redundant, to better stay organized, I've created a directory called wmtls and added it to my $PATH. That way I can copy the scripts I'm using there.

Re: wmutils / sxhkd
You have been busy, I finally formatted the OpenBSD laptop and now wondering if I should package this all up and make it portable or just start cloning and compiling. I am also starting to have the same issue with the scripts taking over my ~/bin.
Edit: cha cha changes.

Re: wmutils / sxhkd

Any issues with the border colors active and inactive? mine wont change when I update them in focus.sh probably a .Xresource issue or maybe there also set in another script and getting stepped on.
Laptop has been updated with a fresh install and wmutils. woohoo

Re: wmutils / sxhkd
No. But I will guess that your issue stems from that based on your .sxhkdrc, you're using focus from z3bra's scripts, not focus.sh from contrib.

Re: wmutils / sxhkd
Lots of changes over the weekend I'm sure its related. I am using the focus.sh from contrib I think that .sxhkdrc was just my starting point. Anyway I will dig in and get it sorted out.
