Re: Is there a way to register a 'callback'?

hiro — 2008-08-30T06:09:34

you can listen to /event for window creations. I guess there is no better way:( On Sat, Aug 30, 2008 at 8:04 AM, Jan gmail.com> wrote:

Jan — 2008-08-30T05:04:16

Hi, I wonder whether I can register a 'callback' function at some point, like after a new application window created. What I want to do is auto resizing the new created window to a suitable width(like 75% of screen width) and move current focused window to right column after it created. Or is there another way to achieve this? Thanks, Jan

Re: dual-display configuration

Bradey Honsinger — 2008-08-29T06:03:13

I noticed the same problem when I was running off the hg tip last week. My wmiirc was pretty much the default--I don't think I did anything but change a few keys around. Not much help, I know, but at least you know it's not just you. I eventually dropped back to an older version because wmiir crashed every time I tried to move right one column (with Mod-L), and I didn't have time to debug it--are you seeing that too? - Bradey

Unfortunately this problem is still present in portage. A simple workaround is to use "su -" to get a clean environment as root, and not "su". Sorry for bringing up this old thread, but I thought other gentoo users might find it useful. Juan Pablo On Sat, May 3, 2008 at 5:56 PM, Kris Maglione suckless.org> wrote:

dual-display configuration

Dewey Hylton — 2008-08-28T18:09:02

i've had the dual-display config working very well for a good while now and love it. yesterday i blew away my machine and started from scratch, complete with latest hg clone of wmii. i had to rewrite some of my rc.wmii configuration, but i think i have everything working as it was before with one exception: currently, focus follows the mouse when moving from display to display, as long as the mouse finds a terminal window in the destination display. otherwise the focus stays on the original display. for example, moving to a new display showing firefox, and even after clicking around in the firefox window, all keyboard input shows up on the original display in the original terminal. mouse input works in the firefox window, but keyboard input does not. keyboard input is never reassigned until i click the tag (bottom left) or the rightbar (which executes the swarp utility). is this a problem with my config, or something in wmii that needs a work-around? thanks!

Anything else is on default (except the colors) especially Key $MODKEY-Shift-$i wmiir xwrite /client/sel/tags "$i" does, that Mod4+Shift+n sends the selected client to the n'th workspace. Works, but not with 2! Mod4+Shift+2 does nothing. Other numbers work. Same Setup on my work works also with Mod4+Shift+2 but the keyboard ist 105 key and de Layout. What could cause this?

A while back when I started using the uim input method, I found myself without much of an up-to-date user guide and started a new one at Wikibooks. Wikibooks is a Wikimedia project using the Mediawiki software. If you're unhappy about the GFDL licese, you may want to wait out an ongoing discussion whether dual licenses are acceptable at Wikibooks (I placed the uim wikibook in the PD). Cheers, Martin Swift

Uriel — 2008-08-18T19:43:12

Sorry for not moving the hg repos, I was quite busy at the time and I left it for latter (if you notice the latest commits to those repos were by me when I did the 0.3 release). So if you can redirect the suckless page to http://repo.cat-v.org/diri that would be great, I will move the repos as soon as I have a chance. As for versions out there, there is a php one too, but I meant that I got people using the rc one :) uriel On Mon, Aug 18, 2008 at 2:58 PM, Anselm R Garbe gmail.com> wrote:

I think it's quite nice. Being able to edit a bunch of pages, view changed files, review a diff, then revert file changes if needed all from the command line (if I so choose) is quite convenient. I also like being able to edit a large number of pages in VIM and manage the changes in mercurius and as I prefer the command line, this is probably the least obtrusive method for me to edit the wiki. Though I admit that since I liked git based wiki solutions as well, I may be a bit biased. Thomas On Mon, Aug 18, 2008 at 01:52:19PM +0100, Anselm R Garbe wrote:

2008/8/17 Uriel gmail.com>: Well, the diri repository is hosted on code.suckless.org, the same applies to the tarball of diri, that's why I updated the diri page accordingly as well. If you want to take over diri, no problem, I can remove it in a second. But in such a case I see no reason in keeping the repository on code.suckless.org (same for the tarball). Just let me know. I consider diri as abandoned, the tarball represents the hg tip of its repository and I don't do any changes to it anymore. So it doesn't matter that much where it is hosted -- but feel free to maintain it < at >suckless.org. I will provide you all necessary accounts in such a case (I was too busy doing so before my holidays). Interesting. I remember there were at least 2 reimplementations, one in bash or sh, and another one in python. Well, as I told, let me know, I can deal with either way. Kind regards, --Anselm

Always sending apps to managed space

Sladan — 2008-08-18T12:33:40

Hi! Is it possible to always send windows to managed space even if they hav a specified size? Apart from GIMP this would be nice and for GIMP there would be a "send to ~" specified in wmiirc anyway. For example Brasero uses a small burn dialog (when burning iso files) which is sent to floating space. I can manually send it to managed space but I would like that to happen automatically since there is no problem with it. Regards, Sladi

java apps and wmii -- solved

Boo_boo — 2008-08-17T17:59:41

maybe someone does'nt know yet... problem: using java swing/awt apps under wmii/linux really is a pain in the arse, because when java app loses focus, it never gain focus again by switching back to its window, only by mouse click. solution: use old MToolkit Java AWT implementation instead of new (and more buggy) XToolkit: $ export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit

What does diri have to do with what kris wants to do with wmii? I dont get it, and I assume that then you are volunteering to maintain diri yourself? (And go update the dozens of links all over the web pointing to it) If not, can you please point it to the site I bothered to setup for it at http://repo.cat-v.org/diri/ ? (Btw, I have found a few diri users out there that I'm trying to support at least until werc has the few missing features they need and they get around to migrate). I´m not going to argue whatever the hgwiki thing is a good idea or not (I personally think that it is cool, but Im not convinced it is the best way to go for suckless.org, but it is up to you how you run suckless.org, and I might be wrong), what bothers me is you moving shit around which I had spent time and effort moving somewhere else, specially when it seems quite clear that you have no intention to maintain either the project or its website (to some degree this also goes for kris, which Im unclear whatever he is interested in maintaining wmii or the wmii web site).
