[SOLVED] BSPWM & SXHKD moving between vrtdsktps based on mouse potitio

Dragon707 · 2014-07-05 14:10:20

Hi,

I like to see a solution for the following situation; i have a triple monitor setup with on each monitor 4 virtual desktops. However, to switch to those desktops i have to use the MOD+1-4 for the first desktop, MOD+5-8 for the 2nd and for the third desktop i need the next keys.

I would like to only use the MOD+1-4, and just switch the desktop which is active. For example:
Mouse is on monitor 1: MOD+1-4 changes the workspaces on monitor 1
Mouse is on monitor 2: MOD+1-4 changes the workspaces on monitor 2
etc..

The current config i have (the default one):

super + {_,shift + }{1-9,0}
    bspc {desktop -f,window -d} ^{1-9,10}

is this possible to do, if so, which is a great way to do it ?

Answer:

bspc {desktop -f,window -d} focused:^{1-9,10}

Take a look at the Desktop and Monitor selectors on the man page.

DESKTOP_SEL := <desktop_name>
                        | [MONITOR_SEL:]^<n>
                        | (CYCLE_DIR|last|[MONITOR_SEL:]focused|older|newer)[.oc
cupied|.free][.urgent][.local]

[...]

MONITOR_SEL := <monitor_name>
                        | ^<n>
                        | (DIR|CYCLE_DIR|last|primary|focused|older|newer)[.occupied|.free]

Notice the desktop selector [MONITOR_SEL:]^<n> and below.
I only have a single monitor, so this is all I can help

Thanks for your reply!

However, ive tried the following, but it doesnt seems to work.

super + {_,shift + }{1-9,0}
    bspc monitor -focused {desktop -f,window -d} ^{1-9,10}

I think it would be something like

bspc {desktop -f,window -d} focused:^{1-9,10}
