awesome VS stackline

https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/3132

i'm reading this issue and this thread as i'm looking into migrate to wayland, since sooner or later we'll apparently have (i know this won't be very soon, but wayland is more and more mainstream). I know "any update on this?" is very annoying, and that's why i'm not open an issue, but... Any update on this?

I guess, it's not supported at the moment or you'll have to do some hacks.. There is this issue (#3777) with the same problem.

This is the correction in awesome-git: https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/3657/files

I use the Awesome Window Manager. At it's core, it's a little difficult to figure out. But once you get the hang of assigning hot keys and whatnot, You'll be able to use it more fluently. I use it on all 3 of my machines (two desktops and one laptop). I Love it! I copy my configs from the machine I started it with and put them on the other 2 machines. Works great!

They may be referring to stackline https://github.com/AdamWagner/stackline

I've used it in the past, it was very aesthetically pleasing but did not work consistently enough for me to use day to day.

Add in hammerspoon and stackline and you can have icons or little blobs as indicators for your stacks.

Oh yeah, Hammerspoon is a much better alternative to AutoHotkey, how could I forget about it.

It can even create simple and quite useful UIs, here’s an example of someone using it to create a stack visualizer for the yabai window manager: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1683979/90967233-0...

Amazing, thank you! I've searched for something like this before and found out an interesting github issue: [off-topic] How to make vim folding minimal and cute like in the readme gif . Maybe it could give you more ideas for enhancing your plugin.

Yabai actually has stacking! Although there’s no visual cue without Stackline. There’s also documentation of the Yabai commands on that repos wiki. Haven’t used either but hope it helps you :)
