dotfiles VS bspwm

Been doing this for about a decade, it works nicely. Def recommend stows `--no-folding` flag (which prevents it from symlinking directories, just files)

Hi, I finally got around to setting up double borders after ≈1.5 years on bspwm today but I’d like input on usability from anyöne here who’s done the same. I started by using this script but ran into many issues so modified this one instead as it’s newer.

bspc just sends null sep'd strings to bspwm via a socket - which you can reimplement how you'd like if needed. you can potentially make bindings for any language if you had reason to. or just exec bspc. do check out babashka - there is one lispy hacker who comes around here once in a while and has shared some cool bspwm stuff using it.

Bspwm is a window manager. Configuration happens in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bspwm/bspwmrc, as per stated here: https://github.com/baskerville/bspwm

Use BSPWM. It supports right clicks by default and its modular. You might want to look for status bars that work with it, slstatus does not work. Good luck, supremacist!

I had not heard of bspwm but I am a fan of telling WMs. Looking at the documentation now, I really like the pragmatic approach lol https://github.com/baskerville/bspwm

If you use the bspwm off of github instead of the old 0.9.10, you can use bspc node @parent -y next to cycle the split type of the parent of the focused. I added it ~1.5years ago, after baskerville added node -y horizontal and node -y vertical to set the split type of a node to vertical/horizontal ~2 years ago.

Also bspwm's JSON generation and parsing is not great. If you have a window with quotes in its class name, bspwm, when dumping it, will not escape them generating invalid JSON (e.g. {"className":"the "cool" window",) that jq will not be able to read, and even worse, bspwm itself will not be able to read. (Yes, if a window's class name contains a " character, bspwm will fail to reload after you run wm -r #1362).

Just follow this guide
