Re: The dwm thread

Hi.

I use dwm 5.8.2 and Firefox 3.6.10. Lately I have an ugly problem with firefox. Firefox stays in foreground and full size, but it should behave like every other window in dwm. For example:

When I press [Shift]+[Alt]+[Enter] a new terminal opens and is selected, but I cannot see it, since firefox doesn't resize..

Anyone knows how to solve this?

Try to select your firefox window (perhaps using your mouse), then hit your MODKEY+shift+space with the default config.h. That combo makes windows managed/unmanaged.

That's it. Thank you!!

Hi All,
With a rule of:

Mplayer floats and is centered.  With a rule of:

{ NULL,         NULL,       "popup",    0,             True },

A term titled 'popup' floats but is not centered.  The window is in the top left of the screen.  Does anyone know why this is?

should i be ashamed of quoting a post from 2008? D:

anyway, how can i force a floating terminal to spawn in the top right corner instead of the top left corner?

When a client floats, size and position hints are accepted. Use the -geometry option:

       -geometry geometry
               This option specifies the preferred size and position of the VT102 window; see X().

For example:

xterm -geometry 50x10+1000+300

opens a xterm 50 chars wide and 10 chars high at position 1000:300.

Re: The dwm thread

thought i'd share something i found today
http://dwm.suckless.org/patches/focusatom

use this with lsw (@suckless) to print open uzbl windows to dmenu via script
bind 'S' or something similar in your uzbl to launch this script and select the "tab" you want to see
works like a charm with monocle mode if you don't have tabbing support built in (which is really unstable for uzbl imo)

Re: The dwm thread

The dwm.c.rej chunk needs to be manually added to dwm.c

When you applied the previous patches, it moved the code in dwm.c around suifficiently to mean that flextile couldn't be applied cleanly. If you want flextile, you need to complete the patch.

Re: The dwm thread

Some questions,
is it possible to use a second modkey?
Also, this doesn't anything to with dwm I guess, more an X thing. I'd like to use capslock as a metakey or something like that. What is the best way to do that. I remember reading something about that in a dwm thread.

Re: The dwm thread

A second modkey? No idea, sorry.

Using CapsLock (or another key as your modkey)? http://dwm.suckless.org/customisation/windows_key

You'll need to fiddle with xmodmap but the process is the same.

Re: The dwm thread

Depending on what you're trying to do you can also remap a second key so that X recognizes it as the first key; in effect giving you two modkeys.  That's what I do; I remapped my Right Alt key to be the same as my Windows key so I can use either for dwm.

Re: The dwm thread

already knew about those things, but thanks
I'm gonna try and map capslock to a combination of ctrl + alt + shift + modkey. Should be usable like a second, different modkey.

Re: The dwm thread

Hi! Just started with my first arch experience and tried to get into dwm - and already hit the first barrier. I installed dwm via the wiki and everything went fine, edited the xinitrc (contains the sh header and exec dwm). dwm starts and everything is fine until I want to do something (like opening a terminal), ALT + Shift + Enter doesn't open anything, ALT + Shift + Q doesn't exit dwm and so on. (config.h wasn't changed by me)

No keybinds work at all, what am I doing wrong?
