Hi all,
the first feature I'd like to backport from 0.38 is the single-window-mode.
Old code runs just fine, but I'm not acutally satisfied with it, so I
approached
on making something better.
changes to original:
- lower ignored windows when mode is active instead of doing nothing*
- handle avoided windows (just like ignored)*
- re-raise ignored and avoided windows when mode is inactive
- hook into after-add-window-hook for better "single-window" experience
* I know it's not optimal for ignored at least, but it helps getting all the
attention of the single-window (as desired if one uses that).
stuff I have in mind:
- alist for each workspace (would allow "single-window-mode" per WS)
- single-window window-matcher, init a single-window-mode on current WS or
move window to first empty WS (or create if none) and init toggle-window-mode
there.
- maybe VP mode?
- more?
Feel free to leave comments,
Chris
