Sorry if Im not clear the API is new to me, when I added:
awful.util.spawn('firefox',true)
And a rule:
awful.rules.rules = {
-- Set Firefox to always map on tags number 2 of screen 1.
{ rule = { class = "Firefox" },
properties = { tag = tags[1][2] } },
}
It did start firefox on the first screen second tag which is what I wanted,
however iv added also:
awful.key({ modkey, }, "f", function () awful.util.spawn("firefox") end),
When using this key binding all firefox instances load also on the same
screen tag (instead of the current selected tag),
I guess that I can add the rule once before the first spawn takes place on
startup and remove it right after.
