It is a matter of personal preference. I usually keep mutt in my master window and I want it to stay in the master because the master is the largest window. When I create or un-minimize new windows, I don't want them to displace mutt. Before I wrote this patch, I would have to do a zoom after every create or un-minimize. > > I also don't want creating a new > > shell window to renumber all the windows; I want the new window to be > > one plus the last window number. > For me the number refers to a place where the window is being displayed > hence if I select MOD+2 I always want to select the first window of > the stack area. I assume you are misunderstanding me, because I agree with you that when I select Mod+2 I always want the first window of the stack. I want created or un-minimized clients to go to the last window of the stack. I am not suggesting changing the way window numbering works. > If you want a stable and unique identifier for a window (e.g. for > scripting purposes) you can use its id.

Thanks for letting me know about this, but I am not writing scripts for it but using it interactively. -- http://www.fastmail.com - Email service worth paying for. Try it for free
