Dwm and tabbed layouts.

FaN_OnLy1 · 2010-05-06 09:43:50

Hey. I've been using Xmonad quite a bit lately, but i'm looking to use dwm because Haskell looks a bit complicated, and dwm seem to be VERY lightweight.
But one thing i've been using for web browsing in Xmonad is its quite good tabbed layout, what i wanted to ask is if dwm is able to manage this kind of layout without any external program (a patch maybe ?), as i would like to have a *web* tag running only uzbl and using a tabbed layout like i'm used to do it in Xmonad ?

Thanks.

As far as I know there's no such patch or functionality. But if you only need this for uzbl why don't you try uzbl-tabbed?

Another way is using tmux or screen within dwm. Maybe try that out.

Well using uzbl-tabbed instead of uzbl-browser within Xmonad's tabbed layout felt way unstable (uzbl crashing on open in new tab) but, well i guess i will have to do without or stay with xmonad. thanks. Might also try tmux.

There's also i3, which does the tab thing on the window manager's level.

The suckless guys created a separate program to handle this called 'tabbed' -- aur/tabbed 0.2-3

Im not sure what features the tabbed layout in xmonad provide, but there is a dwm patch that provides some tab like feature:

It just shows a clickable list of Clients in the titlebar. With the Monocle mode its pretty much tabbed.
