Flextile and inplacerotate question #17

Closed juacq97 closed 3 years ago

juacq97 commented 3 years ago

Hi! I have a question about the flextile layout. Flextile introduces the idea of a second stack, so I can put a "deck" layout on two stacks, that's awesome. Now there's this patch called inplacerotate instead of move the focus, the entire stack rotates, it's useful with the deck layout to not send windows to master. With two stacks though behaves weird (well, as expected) because if I rotate one stack the second stack rotates too, making a two stacks deck useless. There's a way to change the inplacerotate patch to respect my second stack?

On a second question of the flextile layout, there's a way to activate a specific split for stack/master without paas through every layout? For example to change the stack from vertical split to gapless grid. I know I can write a new layout and that's what I've done, but it'll be more flexible to toggle the desired split when I want. Thanks!!!

That's quite a few questions :)

The general answer is that it is dwm so almost anything is possible, it just depends on how far you are willing to go to get it.

Regarding inplacerotate, sure this is perfectly possible, but you'll have to have a flextile-deluxe aware version of the patch. You should in principle be able to take this version albeit with a few changes to make it compatible with a normal dwm (I think it is primarily ISFLOATING(c) --> c->isfloating that you need to change or set up a macro for).

On a second question of the flextile layout, there's a way to activate a specific split for stack/master without paas through every layout?

There is the rotatelayoutaxis function where you can rotate through the available split options and arrange methods per area.

https://github.com/bakkeby/patches/blob/0ca7cc3039fd0d959da2bce2dc76c138f1242bbd/dwm/dwm-pertag-flextile_deluxe-6.2.diff#L86-L94

The default keybindings are not great I know.

What you can also do is set the desired split / arrange option via the fsignal or the IPC patch.

Here is an example integrating this in an xmenu script:

If you want to pursue something like this then let me know and I'll give you some pointers.

Thanks!! I have been working on the inplacerotate patch (I sucks for C). I changed the ISFLOATING(c) for (c->isfloating)andISFLOATING(m->sel)form->sel->isfloating. I get an error about theiscenteredlayout(m, n)andisdualstacklayout(m)` functions. I cheked out the flextile patch and there's nothing like that, I checked the dawn repo and it seems to be a specific function written for it, so do you have an idea of how I can replace those functions?

If you want to pursue something like this then let me know

I want!, not a menu maybe, but a keybinding to toggle the most used splits. The logic behind your script should be similar (dwm-msg commands I suppose).

Yes sorry I have quite a range of changes in my personal build, these should be the droids you are looking for:

https://github.com/bakkeby/dawn/blob/274b83a16de7878b6fcb3eef67dd691667373174/patch/bar_flexwintitle.c#L155-L190

I'm pretty sure you can just copy-paste those as-is.

I used a function like this for external scripts (via fsignal, dwmc or the IPC patch):

https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch/blob/acbf2de1c23085e0a8736498e5c7600f77f7a5f0/patch/layout_flextile-deluxe.c#L70-L87

You can either use that as-is or simplify it to your needs.

Here is my menu script which you can use as a reference for the numbers you pass in to this function for the desired behaviour.
