Vim-like window marking for any EWMH window manager

This is really small and simple tool that runs in the background and lets you mark any window using any letter (a-z) and then jump back to it whenever you want. (Even if you're on a different desktop.)

Right now, all you can do is assign a mark to a window and jump to it. I'll probably add another option that lets you bring a window to the current desktop.

For example, while in Gmail press Super+m then hit 'g'. Browse to some other desktop, and when you want to check your mail press Super+' and then hit 'g'. So the idea is to have two keybindings; one for marking and one for jumping. After you've initiated one of the keybindings, window-marker expects one more letter to complete the command.

The keybindings can be set on the command line.

usage: window-marker [-h] [-m KEYBINDING] [-g KEYBINDING]

Vim-like marks for windows.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -m KEYBINDING, --mark KEYBINDING
                        keybinding to add a mark (default: Mod4-m)
  -g KEYBINDING, --goto KEYBINDING
                        keybinding to goto a mark (default Mod4-apostrophe)

Using window-marker is exactly like using marks in vim. Namely, by pressing
the keybinding for "mark", window-marker then listens for one more letter
(a-z) to be entered. Whichever letter is entered will now be associated with
the active window.

If you now want to go back to that window (even if you're
on a different desktop), simply press the keybinding for "goto" and then enter
the letter you used to mark the window.

To set your own keybinding, please
consult /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h and the output of `xmodmap`. The `xev`
program may also be useful.

It's in the AUR.

Education is favorable to liberty. Freedom can exist only in a society of knowledge. Without learning, men are incapable of knowing their rights, and where learning is confined to a few people, liberty can be neither equal nor universal.

Re: Vim-like window marking for any EWMH window manager

I wanted to give it a try, installed it from the AUR. What I get is

% window-marker
Traceback (most recent call last):

@Army -

Could you post your output of the following command?

xmodmap -pk

It'll be long, so make sure to wrap it in [ code ] tags :-) Thanks!

Hey, I never missed using them! tongue

My apologies, just playing it safe :-)

Anyway, the good news is your xmodmap output shows what I guessed was the problem when you first posted; so I've already added a bug fix. If you're using yaourt, then a 'yaourt -Syua' should set you straight. If you're installing manually, you'll need to grab fresh versions of xpybutil-git and window-marker-git.

The problem is that window-marker uses "Mod4-apostrophe" by default; and your 'apostrophe' keysym wasn't the first in the list for its corresponding keycode. So I've fixed my libraries to support a keysym being in any position in the list instead of assuming it was first. X key mapping is a bitch, unfortunately.

In either case, if you get the same error, could you try changing the keybindings to see if that works?

window-marker --mark 'Mod4-m' --goto 'Mod4-g'

By the way, you have an interesting key map. Your number sign is on the same key as your apostrophe? What kind of keyboard do you have?

Education is favorable to liberty. Freedom can exist only in a society of knowledge. Without learning, men are incapable of knowing their rights, and where learning is confined to a few people, liberty can be neither equal nor universal.

It's a german qwertz keyboard, see here.
Back to your application:
The command line you gave as an example happens to be exactly the one I intended to try. I launched this command line, highlighted the browser, typed a (Super+m)+b, went to a urxvt terminal, typed (Super+g)+b and this is my output.

I use i3 (version 3, see AUR package i3-wm-old) as window manager, if that helps...

It might be that some wonder why I'm interested in this window-marker, because i3 already has something like this implemented. That's true, but
1. it works a little bit different
2. it's always good to know stuff like that in case for some reason I'll go away from i3 again

Wow. Well, I'm happy to see now that my keybinding libraries work with a keyboard like that! Thanks for helping me with that :-)

Back to your application:
The command line you gave as an example happens to be exactly the one I intended to try. I launched this command line, highlighted the browser, typed a (Super+m)+b, went to a urxvt terminal, typed (Super+g)+b and this is my output.

Total bummer. You've got to use an EWMH-compliant window manager, and i3 just doesn't cut it. I actually installed it and tried to get it working (going so far as to ignore the desktop switching and just trying to send an "activate window" message to the apropriate window, but no dice there either). Sorry :-(

Yeah, when I started working on my own window manager at the beginning of this year, I checked out i3 for ideas and the window marking was one that I found pretty neat. I sort-of forgot about it until yesterday when I said, "Hmmm I sure could use vim-like window marking."

Otherwise, my tool should work for most window managers. (I tested it on KWin too.) Even window managers that barely support EWMH; unfortunately i3 doesn't even do that. (It is otherwise a very cool WM though, it's probably my third or fourth favorite.)

Education is favorable to liberty. Freedom can exist only in a society of knowledge. Without learning, men are incapable of knowing their rights, and where learning is confined to a few people, liberty can be neither equal nor universal.

Cool stuff. Works with e17, just wanted to mention that. Now let's see if I can make a habit of using this smile.

Not a problem, the lack of EWMH-compliance is the biggest criticism I have with i3. I'll test the new version of i3, maybe it's more EWMH-compliant (I actually guess it is)
