Hello,
In .ratpoisonrc, I'd like to declare two workspaces, and open three vertical
frames in the first and three horizontal frames in the second (as a basis for
more complex initialization). How can I do this?I've been trying to declare
the workspaces on startup with (rpws init 4), then I switch to a workspace and
initiate a cascade of frame-setting commands, but it applies it to all
workspaces instead of only that one, or none depending on the sequence of those
commands.Here's the relevant portions in my .ratpoisonrc of what I'm trying to
do:
exec /usr/bin/rpws init 4exec ratpoison -c "exec /usr/bin/rpws 1" -c "exec
xterm" -c "hsplit" -c "focus" -c "exec xterm" -c "exec /usr/bin/rpws 2" -c
"exec xterm" -c "vsplit" -c "focus" -c "exec xterm"
This creates the layout in all four tabs (not what I expected).If I take out
the first line it creates a workspace with three frames.If I use two of the
second line (one for workspace 1, and one for workspace 2), it does not produce
two of those results.
I don't understand how to use these commands to do what I want, so I'd like to
see an example of how to create two workspaces; one with 3 vertical frames and
one with 4 horizontal frames. Here's an ascii image of what I'd like to create
from .ratpoisonrc:
workspace 1 workspace 2 workspace

[ I hope the formatting in my ascii drawing will be correct in the email, it is
correct with non-wide, fixed-width fonts, but here's a picture in case

Thanks in advance.
