patches VS kmonad

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

I think the easiest solution here would be to incorporate all attach patches (for example via attachdirection or attachx) then have a client rule option that determines how the client should initially attach; as the master, first in the stack, at the bottom or above or below the currently focused window.

So far I found https://github.com/bakkeby/patches/wiki/monitorrules, but it works per monitor/per tag, but I want it to work per program like the default rules, except extended

I am trying to setup my workspaces for stumpwm, but am running into a wall due to not being able to find much documentation, is there is even support, for a few things I want to do. For some background, I am coming from dwm which I have used for a few years and even forked a few times. In dwm I had a rather simple, but extremely useful, setup where I would store specific types of programs on specific tags. I was able to figure out getting this done in stumpwm and it working just fine. The main issue with this portion of my workspace setup is that the Default workspace still exists. I have tried to figure out how to delete it, but cannot. I know how to rename it, so I could just do that and use it for my terminals, but the issue arises where I have no idea how to change it from the default stacking layout to the dynamic one. Any advice? Additionally, is there a way to get something like dwm's fakefullscreen?

I would like to add the statuscmd (for dwmblocks) feature to my dwm build. I tried this patch (from the suckless website) and this one, from u/bakkeby's Github, which seems more pertinent to my case since I use dwmblocks. I also patched my dwmblocks build with this patch, from the suckless website.

dragcfact is a patch that depends on another patch, cfacts, that assigns a 'weight' to each client in the view area and allows you to resize them by increasing or decreasing the weight of a given client. Yes, in the case of the tile layout that does allow for 'vertical' resizing.

Another way you could achieve this is via floatpos. One way I use this is to toggle tiled windows to become floating and take up 80% of the screen, which gives a kind of semi-fullscreen mode which is kind of nice.

I don't know what they are refering to, but the swallowing that has become popularized is not what that screenshot shows. The functionality is taken from Plan9's window manager, rio. When you launch, say, firefox from a terminal on non-swallowing window managers the terminal just sits there and the window is spawned on it's own. With swallowing, the terminal swallows the window in that the newly spawn windows takes up the window that is the terminal until it exists at which point the terminal window is restored. I can not an example of this in video, but there are patches to implement this into dwm such as rio draw/swallow

I guess it should be possible with just setxbkmap if others have done it but I use kmonad to do that and a lot more remapping on my laptop. Kanata is another one I have heard good things about

Try https://github.com/kmonad/kmonad

Are you able to get something like kmonad/kanata running on a Chromebook? I've been toying with kanata recently to make a roguelike layer for my laptop. The idea is to remap the block around wasd to the keypad (q=7, c=3), and put some of the more common keys like < nearby too. Then to access things like (w)ield, map spc to toggle the qwerty layer for the next keypress (so to send "w", you type "spc", "w").

By the way, for anybody stuck on a common laptop keyboard (like me): you can achieve a similar layer setup via software using Kmonad.

KMonad should be able to handle that scenario too with extra layer activated by Ctrl.

There are a lot of daemons for keyboard remapping. I use kmonad, but i was going to try keyd and kanata. Both kmonad and keyd are on the package repository. kanata is not. Kanata with the tcp server could be useful for non global configuration.

kmonad also gives you this feature and also works in Wayland iirc

Standard US (ANSI) Qwerty, and Kmonad for the key fu. Pretty close to stock and boring, but a few 'conveniences':

Hello all! Kanata, my QMK-like, KMonad-inspired keyboard remapping software for Linux+Windows is now on v1.3.0-prerelease-1.

BTW creating really fancy keyboard layouts may be easier than you think: https://github.com/kmonad/kmonad
