1)Moving tagged windows to current WS. 2) Rearange WS's

[£ukasz]

Hi ,
its me again :). Let say that i tagged few windows on some workspaces, i moved to another one and i want all tagged windows moved here. Simple function which do it is


local function tagged_move(group)
local region=WMPlex.attach_new(group,{type="WGroupWS",name="name",...})
ioncore.tagged_attach(region)
end

it works ok when destination ws is empty, problems appears when its not. I think the nice way to do it woild be by using 'ioncore.tagged_first(true)' or 'ioncore.tagged_i()' but first one some how doesnt want to return tagged region. Im sure that there is some extremely simple solution for it so if somebody knows it pls help.


My second question is if it's possible to rearange WS and how to do it?. Till now i havent had enough time to think about it but it wold be nice possibility

Best Regards
Lukas

Umm, what should be the result? I tag few windows and then attach them
into one frame (as many "tabs") into selected frame just by
ioncore.tagged_attach(that_frame). There is context menu entry for this
in ion3plus (it should be in ion3 as well). I do not use floating
windows, thus I cannot imagine what result you want.

What do you mean by rearanging?

* If you want to switch order of tabs, then there is function
WMPlex.dec_index and WMPlex.inc_index

* If yoy want to add and move some splits, just do it manually and save
it to your session.

If you want such workspace to be created "dynamically", then you can
isolate this workspace from your session
file (saved_layout.lua) and use ioncore.create_ws(scr, tmpl, layout)
and ioncore.deflayout(name, tab).

Note that I did not ever tried that. I just created one workspace
which satisfies all my needs. Namely I discared all splits (to have
one frame) on my laptop, then I attached new WTiling into this frame
and I split this WTiling. Thus my windows are nearly fullscreen
(if it is sibbling of the nested WTiling) or they occupy smaller
part, if they are descendants of the nested WTiling. I can switch
between them with my pen (I have tablet) or mouse. This is especially
good when the main work is browsing internet, as browsing is
traditionally mouse-oriented (some technologies from hell, such
as adobe flash requires use of mouse when browsing internet).

I didnt say that I'm talking about pwm3 not ion3, that I think confused You. In ion its not problem becouse u have always frame you can attach to tagged windows/regions by "META+K"+"A" ( or whatever you defined). In pwm3 you have to specific object where you want to attach it. I get what i wanted to in pwm by

local function tagged_move(obj)
local region=WMPlex.mx_current(obj)
ioncore.tagged_attach(region)
end

runed in WScreen section.

thanks, WMPlex.dec_index WMPlex.inc_index works exactly i want to, but again in pwm i had to speific correct region and wmplex.
