Shifty had some nice fine tuning to it that I miss, however for the most
part, I achieve the same results with the normal config, by doing
something like this,
I have some functions to handle tag creation/rename/deletion in my rc
function add_tag(args)
local screen = args.screen or mouse.screen or 1
local text = args.name or "Aux"
return awful.tag.add(text,{})
end
function rename_tag(tag)
if tag then t=tag else t=awful.tag.selected(mouse.screen) end
awful.prompt.run(
{prompt='rename:'}, -- args
shared.promptbox.widget, --widget (you'd need change this)
function(name) t.name=name end, --exe callback
nil, --completion callback
awful.util.getdir("cache").."/history_eval" --history path
)
end
--[[[
Search if tag already exist, return tag or new tag
@args a table of arguments
@args.name The tag we want
]]--
function move_to_tag(args)
if not args then return end
if not args.name then return end
for i,t in ipairs(awful.tag.gettags(mouse.screen)) do
if t.name==args.name then
return t
end
end
return add_tag({name=args.name})
end
function delete_tag(args)
awful.tag.delete()
end
In my rules, i have a few programs i like on separate tags:
{ rule={ class="Icedove",instance="Mail"}, properties={tag =
function() return move_to_tag({name='email'}) end} },
{ rule={ class="Iceweasel",instance="Navigator"}, properties={tag =
function() return add_tag({name='www'}) end} },
{ rule={ name="xbill"}, properties={tag = function()
return move_to_tag({name='xbill'}) end} },
{ rule={ class="emulator-arm",instance="emulator-arm"},
properties={tag = function() return move_to_tag({name='and-emu'}) end} },
I have some key bindings for tags like this:
awful.key({ config.modkey, },"n",function() add_tag({}) end),
awful.key({ config.modkey, },"d",function() delete_tag({}) end),
awful.key({ config.modkey,"Shift"},"n",function() rename_tag() end),
While it's not as nice as shifty was when it was working, it basically
does everything i needed it to.

Hello.
I appreciate those who have helped with pull requests and such but I feel
shifty has been
obsolete for some time now.
Could you lease elaborate on this? I am using shifty, but if I can achieve the
same in similarly
easy fashion, I would be really tempted to stick with "out of the box" awesome?
Could you please
give some examples?
I'm also interested in this. What I like with Shifty is the automatic
creation and removal of tags when there are no more clients in it. Is it
possible to handle this in a simple way with a raw awesome
configuration?
