- display extra information in tabs, specifically the tab index so I don't have to count tabs to use my Mod+<n> shortcut to jump to the <n>th tab.
To expand on this a bit:
Imagine having an automatically-generated shortcut to every visible tab, displayed within the tab itself. Then have MODx+<shortcut> jump to the associated client. You only have to look where you want to go and hit the magic key combination.
Example:
+----------+------------+------------------+
| <A>xterm | <B>Mozilla | <C>mutt |
+----------+------------+------------------+
| | |
| | |
| Mozilla | mutt |
| | |
| | |
+-----------------------+------------------+
Hitting MOD+A takes you to xterm, MOD+C straight to mutt, etc.
Obviously MOD would be chosen to not conflict with your existing DEFAULT_MOD.
Auto-generated shortcuts <A>, <B>, etc. would have to be "sticky", i.e. stay with the same client throughout the lifetime of the client. You could make it even more configurable and have xterms assigned shortcuts A, S, D, F, G, ... (the middle row, home keys on my UK keyboard), Mozilla could get the top row, etc. etc.
Tuomo, would it be possible to implement this as a module? The module would have to be able to dynamically modify the titles of all clients, and dynamically update the bindmaps.
