patch to center tiled windows on the stack
It would be possible to have gaps by default without wasting space, they would just be smaller. Current gaps patches waste even more space than 'resizehints = 0'. This patch appears to be a big challenge, but it would be very interesting to see it done. Something like the centered_size_hints patch but with better space/cpu usage would already be great.

Anysize leaving gaps in st
I made this patch after that post for reference: https://github.com/bakkeby/patches/wiki/anysize-simple
-
How can you set the st geometry offset relative to the screen size as a dwm shortcut
I'd recommend that you have a look at the floatrules patch and alternatively if you need percentages then I have another patch called floatpos.
- Make the focusstack feature avoid a certain program.
-
tag.restore and tag.noempty
As for 1. you may want to consider toggletag which is a one-line patch which makes it so that when you do MOD+1 to move to tag 1 and if you do MOD+1 again then it moves you back to the previous tag (5 in the example case).
-
Patch to improve the zoom function
I believe the zoomswap, stacker and restrictfocus patches could help solving this problem. The functions needed to be changed probably are zoom and maybe pop. I tried to figure it out, but couldn't since I don't know C right now. But hopefully the information on this post can help, so one can fix it if he can and wants to.
- patch to separate focus between master and stack areas

How do you set the width of dmenu to the screen width after application of the xyw patch?
You may also want to consider applying the barpadding patch for dwm into dmenu, this is easier to do than it sounds. I created an example patch a while back: https://github.com/bakkeby/patches/wiki/barpadding
-
alpha patch makes my dwm doesn't starting
It's difficult to make alpha and systray patches sing together. Use bakkeby patch that does them both: https://github.com/bakkeby/patches/blob/master/dwm/dwm-alpha-systray-6.3_full.diff
-
How do I change multi-monitor tag behaviour
I had an example patch for that: dwm-desktop-6.3.diff

How to start an application from a KWin script?
I am trying to replicate https://github.com/mkropat/jumpapp as a KWin script. Since I decided to use Wayland instead of X11, where jumpapp does not work.
-
Open a program only if it is not running already
Have a look at jumpapp for full configurability
-
jumpapp alternative?
I have become reliant on jumpapp and really miss it now that I am running hyprland. Has anyone come up with a wayland replacement?
-
Make window appear on demand on the current desktop and monitor? (Same as Guake terminal does)
If you're on X11: jumpapp
-
You're using function keys wrong
Maybe checkout https://vickychijwani.me/blazing-fast-application-switching-.... Personally I use jumpapp which does more or less the same thing. https://github.com/mkropat/jumpapp.
-
Name a program that doesn't get enough love!
jumpapp - its a run-or-raise app. Basically, you set up a shortcut for something that you use often (an IDE, a browser, a terminal etc). Once you activate the shortcut, jumpapp will either run the app if its running, or start the app if it isn't.
-
What's your favorite feature you implemented on your keymap? (can be anything!)
This may be off-topic, but would you mind sharing your AutoHotKey script? I'm used to Jumpapp on Linux, but I was never able to recreate the same behavior on Windows.

Albert – open-source keyboard launcher for Linux
I use jumpapp[0] and find it fantastic for application switching on Manjaro/KDE.

Shortcuts to switch focus
Looks like jumpapp is exactly what you want - provided you're on X11.
