I'll have a look at i3, but awesome's claim of complete keyboard control and the first wm to go beyond Xlib was so promising that I stopped looking for other wm-s :-) Having the floating layout available will definitely smoothen the learning curve of awesome... How is i3 for comparison? It is not important that the taglist be global per se. What is most important is a tag can move freely between screens in one operation. Let's take an example. Some kind of development work in xterms will require at least three windows which fit nicely on one main screen. (edit+compile+preview for LaTeX or edit+compile+debugger for programming) The second screen is very useful to browse and search for documentation in a web browser. Unless the desk is optimally arranged such that both screens are equally comfortably placed, one may want to swap the two for long research sprees on the web. Moving /one/ window from one screen to another is straight forward, but moving every window with a given tag is cumbersome (even when programming it in lua). If one insists on not messing up the geometry in the process it might even be outright difficult (I am not sure). -- :-- Hans Georg -- To unsubscribe, send mail to awesome-unsubscr...@naquadah.org.
