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. + +### Download +- [2024-09-18](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl-patches/raw/branch/main/patches/winview/winview.patch) +- [2024-06-06](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl-patches/raw/branch/main/patches/winview/winview-20240606.patch) +- [git branch](https://codeberg.org/dhruva_sambrani/dwl/src/branch/winview) + +### Authors +- [Dhruva Sambrani](https://codeberg.org/dhruva_sambrani) + |
