However, I already had gotten used to the workflow in a tiling
manager. Having to use the mouse to scale the windows and rely on those
few workspaces just showed me how much better it is to be able to
assign tags to specific windows. This flexibility is just impossible

Nothing, I was just giving an example.

Fair point, but let's look at it this way:

Hi,
For instance, I have been using during years fluxbox, and I must say
that there was one feature (one out of many) that was interesting to be used.
- It is called Desktop Warping
What is it? - From the flux man page, it has been indicated as follows:
When desktop warping is enabled, dragging
Hi Patrick,
Quoth patrick295767 patrick295767:
When desktop warping is enabled, dragging a window outside the desktop
will change to the next desktop.
I hope that it describes it well.
Would you appreciate to have this feature (patch) on DWM?
I know the feature. It doesn't
For a primarily tiling window manager that encourages the use of a
keyboard over a mouse and uses the concept of tags rather than
multiple desktops… “desktop warping” seems awful.
because I doubt many of us routinely move windows by dragging
anyway,
Oh, I forgot to add it into my original post since we rarely use the
mouse actually.
I though about it to write it, but I finally did not mention it.
thanks for notice/add-on

Hi
indeed. Completely correct.
I would anyhow have tried to receive a short survey / feedback if some
of us, - dwm user, might eventually find it as nice to have or might
be eventually useful for the dwm... just curious
