https://github.com/tlamer/.dotfiles/blo … _rules.lua in lines for chromium you can see how to spawn app on specific tag. in this particular cese chromium is always on second tag.

Doh, I'm sorry, I forgot half of the sentence here. I meant "spawning a console application" (cmus for example).

Almost that! But I do not want to switch tags.
Anyway I tried to append

awful.tag.history.restore()

even if it is a dirty work around. Sadly it doesn't work, the window will appear on current tag (I guess awful returns before the window really shows up).

maybe theres an easier way, but you should take a look at run_or_raise

function run_or_raise(cmd, properties)
	local clients = client.get()
	local focused = awful.client.next(0)
	local findex = 0
	local matched_clients = {}
	local n = 0
	for i, c in pairs(clients) do
		--make an array of matched clients
		if match(properties, c) then
			n = n + 1
			matched_clients[n] = c
			if c == focused then
				findex = n
			end
		end
	end
	if n > 0 then
		local c = matched_clients[1]
		-- if the focused window matched switch focus to next in list
		if 0 < findex and findex < n then
			c = matched_clients[findex+1]
		end
		local ctags = c:tags()
		if table.getn(ctags) == 0 then
			-- ctags is empty, show client on current tag
			local curtag = awful.tag.selected()
			awful.client.movetotag(curtag, c)
		else
			-- Otherwise, pop to first tag client is visible on
			awful.tag.viewonly(ctags[1])
		end
		-- And then focus the client
		client.focus = c
		c:raise()
		return
	end
	awful.util.spawn(cmd)
end

-- Returns true if all pairs in table1 are present in table2
function match (table1, table2)
	for k, v in pairs(table1) do
		if table2[k] ~= v and not table2[k]:find(v) then
			return false
		end
	end
	return true
end

try to find the client youve spawned via classname, name or something else and then use: awful.client.movetotag(yourtag, yourfoundclient)

Anyway I tried to append
awful.tag.history.restore()
even if it is a dirty work around. Sadly it doesn't work, the window will appear on current tag (I guess awful returns before the window really shows up).

I did this to be able to bind a urxvt instance starting with ncmpcpp :

{ rule = { name = "ncmpcpp" },
      properties = { tag = tags[1][5], switchtotag = true } },

in the awful.rules.rules table (somewhere in my rc.lua) and

awful.key({ modkey, "Shift"   }, "w", function () awful.util.spawn("urxvtc -e ncmpcpp")            end),

in my keybinding section. Notice that you can just remove switchtotag=true (or set it to false) to start the application on the desired tab without switching to it.

I also decided to have a tag and some dedicated colors for a root session, here is what I did, it may help you in case the previous part did not :

{ rule = { instance = "rootterm" },
      properties = { tag = tags[1][8], switchtotag = true } },

in the awful.rules.rules table (somewhere in my rc.lua) and

awful.key({ modkey, "Shift"   }, "x", function () awful.util.spawn("urxvt -name \"rootterm\" -e su root") end),

You may use xprop to know which names you want to match in the rules section.

Ambrevar · 2012-07-12 12:56:29

Thanks raphix. Actually I already tried your solution, but it didn't work 'cause the app name did not appear in any window properties for me.
But seeing you claiming it works, I just realized from where the issue arises: the terminal itself !
For some reasons I'm using LXTerminal instead of URxvt to spawn some apps, but I tried with URxvt, and it works !

Thanks for helping me to figure it out.

Here follows the noteworthy differences between the two terminals
URxvt

WM_COMMAND(STRING) = { "urxvt", "-e", "cmus" }
_NET_WM_ICON_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "cmus"
WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "cmus"

LXTerminal

_NET_WM_ICON_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "<selected track>"
WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "<selected track>"

I'm not sure if the ICON_NAME values are relevant or not for Awesome, but I guess the relevant detail here is the WM_COMMAND key. LXTerminal does not have it.

As written in the dedicated section in the FAQ, the really relevant parts are :

WM_CLASS(STRING) = "smplayer", "Smplayer"
                     |           |
                     |           |--- class
                     |
                     |--- instance
                     
 WM_NAME(STRING) = "SMPlayer"
                    |
                    |--- name

When playing cmus, LXTerminal keeps lxterminal and LXterminal for the values of instance and class, and the name is WM_NAME(STRING) = "<selected track>", so that "cmus" does not appear anywhere and the rule is not applied. With urxvt, I think you have to use a "-name cmus" somewhere to force cmus to appear as a name, otherwise it's still "urxvt".

Glad my previous message was helpful to you!

Yes I know about WM_NAME and WM_CLASS, but check by yourself: cmus does not appear in any of these fields, neither with LXTerminal nor with URxvt.
I see 2 explainations:
* either Awesome is hiding some tricks...
* or the properties change after cmus has started.

It's just anrxc's config with a few tweaks. If anyone wants one of the tweaked things for some reason just ask and I'd be happy to provide it.

Clean

Dirty

(Yes I know my ranger doesn't match my color scheme and I should be ashamed)

Also, I've been trying to get shifty to work with this config but I can only seem to get it to break everything. If anyone has any tips as to that that would be great.

Yeah, I've been there. You can check out this thread and see if it helps you at all; honestly, that process was so convoluted and frustrating that when I switched over to the git dev branch I gave up on shifty, and don't remember how I even got it working.

I like the Greek in your tags, by the way.

Thanks, I see bioe said something about using awful for dynamic tag management, I guess I'll give that a shot.

1680x1050
1366x768

The border is in the theme file as

-- {{{ Borders
theme.border_width  = 1
theme.border_focus  = "#6F6F6F"
theme.border_normal = theme.bg_normal
theme.border_marked = theme.fg_urgent
-- }}}

And is applied to the wibox like so

    -- Create the top wibox
    wibox[s] = awful.wibox({      screen = s,
        fg = beautiful.fg_normal, height = 12,
        bg = beautiful.bg_normal, position = "top",
        border_color = beautiful.border_focus,
        border_width = beautiful.border_width
    })
