+### Description
+Implements the function `winview` which switches the visible tags to the tags on which the current client is visible.
+
+This patch is inspired from <https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/winview/>. Citing the description of the dwm patch:
+
+> Dwm tags are a powerfull feature that allows organizing windows in workspaces. Sometime it can be difficult to remember the tag to activate to unhide a window. With the winview patch the window to unhide can be selected from the all-window view. The user switches to the all-window view (Mod1-0), selects the window (Mod1-j/k or using the mouse) and press Mod1-o. The key Mod1-o switches the view to the selected window tag.
+>
+> #### Recommend patches
+>
+> The grid layout is well adapted to display many windows in a limited space. Using both grid and pertag patches you will be able to select this layout for the all-window view while keeping your preferred layout for the other views.
+> Configuration and Installation
+> Using the default configuration file
+>
+> Make sure the directory where you build dwm does not contain a config.h file;
+> Apply the patch;
+> Run make and make install.
+>
+> Using an existing customised configuration file
+>
+> Apply the patch; Add the following element in the keys array:
+>
+> `{ MODKEY, XK_o, winview, {0} },`
+>
+> Run make and make install.
+>
+> An example of how to insert this line can be found in the default config file template, config.def.h.
