Awesome3 and OpenOffice [Solved]

Im having trouble assigning a tag number in rc.lua to open office, does anyone know what name works for it? I know to get Firefox to appear on the desired tag I had to use the name "Gran Paradiso", otherwise awesome did not recognize it.

Thanks in advance.

Run xprop in a terminal and click the OO.o window. Then use the string from the variable WM_CLASS(string) = "something".

Re: Awesome3 and OpenOffice [Solved]

Help your self with this to tag all your other applications:

alias xpop='xprop | grep --color=none "WM_WINDOW_ROLE\|WM_CLASS" | xmessage -file - -center'

You need to install an RTFM interface.

With the following in rc.lua:

keybinding({ modkey, "Ctrl" }, "i", function ()
                                        local s = mouse.screen
                                        if mypromptbox[s].text then
                                            mypromptbox[s].text = nil
                                        elseif client.focus then
                                            mypromptbox[s].text = nil
                                            if client.focus.class then
                                                mypromptbox[s].text = "Class: " .. client.focus.class .. " "
                                            end
                                            if client.focus.instance then
                                                mypromptbox[s].text = mypromptbox[s].text .. "Instance: ".. client.focus.instance .. " "
                                            end
                                            if client.focus.role then
                                                mypromptbox[s].text = mypromptbox[s].text .. "Role: ".. client.focus.role
                                            end
                                        end
                                    end):add()

(from the default rc.lua), it is enough to press ctrl + mod4 + 1 and you get the class in your awesome prompt box.

Re: Awesome3 and OpenOffice [Solved]

Just another thanks to everyone for this.
Also a note: i was having problems with a notification window that doesn't accept focus, and thus the rc.lua version doesn't work -- in this case, the xprop | xmessage version works a treat
