I must admit, the latest drop in the bucket that made me consider that change again is: when I unplug the external monitor from my laptop, not only does rio not automatically switch displays properly (I have to use my xrandr-based scripts to do that), but even after I've switched displays, the wind

I’ve often wanted the same sorting change. I do, however, find yiyus’ rationale compelling. I’d be interested in playing with it, if you try it out. > On Oct 30, 2016, at 11:16 , Mathieu Lonjaret > wrote: > > yeah, good points. > > On 29 October 2016 at 00:47, yy wrote: >> On 28 October 2016

I thought about that. you can explicitly give that preference to the working window by fully maximizing it (i.e. making all the tags disappear with button 3), so it didn't seem justification enough to me. But maybe it is. On 28 October 2016 at 16:37, Mark van Atten wrote: > On Fri, Oct 28, 2016

I suspect one reason for placing the stack at the bottom is that it gives you a consistent area to target, at the top, when going back to work on your primary window. If they were stacked top down then, depending on how many files you had open, you might have to more carefully target how to get ba

Hi, I regularly feel slightly tempted to modify (p9p) acme so that, when a window is maximized with button 2, the other windows tags would stack to the top of the column, instead of to the bottom. I find that, them being on the bottom makes it harder for me to find back a particular window. Probab
