1 Workspaces 2 ========== 3 Adds to dwm the functionality of remembering tagset, layout and mfact for a 4 given number of workspaces. You can also define preconfigured workspaces. 5 6 Code 7 ---- 8 Insert this code before your keys definitions in config.h or in an included .c 9 file: 10 11 typedef struct Workspace Workspace; 12 struct Workspace { 13 unsigned int tagset; 14 Layout *lt; 15 float mfact; 16 }; 17 18 static Workspace workspaces[] = { 19 /* tagset layout fact */ 20 { (1 << 0), &layouts[0], 0.55}, 21 { (1 << 0) | (1<< 8), &layouts[0], 0.75}, 22 { (1 << 0) | (1<< 1) | (1<< 8), &layouts[1], 0}, 23 { (1<< 8), &layouts[2], 0}, 24 }; 25 26 static unsigned int ws = 0; 27 28 static void 29 setws(int nws) { 30 workspaces[ws].tagset = tagset[seltags]; 31 workspaces[ws].lt = lt[sellt]; 32 workspaces[ws].mfact = (workspaces[ws].lt == &layouts[0]) ? mfact : 0; 33 if(nws < LENGTH(workspaces)) 34 ws = nws; 35 if(workspaces[ws].tagset) { 36 tagset[seltags] = workspaces[ws].tagset; 37 lt[sellt] = workspaces[ws].lt; 38 if(workspaces[ws].mfact != 0) 39 mfact = workspaces[ws].mfact; 40 arrange(); 41 } 42 } 43 44 static void 45 prevws(const Arg *arg) { 46 setws((ws == 0) ? LENGTH(workspaces) - 1 : ws - 1); 47 } 48 49 static void 50 nextws(const Arg *arg) { 51 setws((ws == LENGTH(workspaces) - 1) ? 0 : ws + 1); 52 } 53 54 And then, you can define keys: 55 56 { MODKEY, XK_Tab, nextws, {0} }, 57 { MODKEY|ShiftMask, XK_Tab, prevws, {0} }, 58 59 Or mouse buttons: 60 61 { ClkTagBar, 0, Button4, prevws, {0} }, 62 { ClkTagBar, 0, Button5, nextws, {0} }, 63 64 Comments 65 -------- 66 It is so easy to change the viewed tags, layout and mfact in dwm than having 67 artifacts to remember them are not necessary, this patch is just an example of 68 how it could be implemented, but it won't be updated for future releases. 69 70 It should be easy to add to the workspaces the possibility to remember bar 71 position too. 72 73 It is not necessary to define all your workspaces (or any of them). You can 74 perfectly do: 75 76 static Workspace workspaces[16] = { 77 /* tagset layout fact */ 78 { (1 << 0), &layouts[0], 0.55}, 79 { (1 << 0) | (1<< 8), &layouts[0], 0.75}, 80 }; 81 82 or: 83 84 static Workspace workspaces[16]; 85 86 Authors 87 ------- 88 * [Jesus Galan (yiyus)](mailto:yiyu dot jgl at gmail>) (aug 30 21:41:42 CEST 2008)*
