Thanks for replying so quickly, I found the match but here is how my config
defines groups (It's a frankenstein from different github)
group_names = [("1", {'layout': 'monadtall'}),
("2", {'layout': 'monadtall'}),
("3", {'layout': 'monadtall'}),
("4", {'layout': 'monadtall'}),
("5", {'layout': 'monadtall'}),
("6", {'layout': 'monadtall'}),
("7", {'layout': 'monadtall'}),
("8", {'layout': 'monadtall'}),
("9", {'layout': 'monadtall'})]
groups = [Group(name, **kwargs) for name, kwargs in group_names]
so I cannot figure out how to insert mtch in there.
