[REQUEST] Selection Mode #1427

Open navakelvin opened 1 year ago

navakelvin commented 1 year ago

When you have several windows open to go from one to another you must hold Super while pressing h/j/k/l.

It would be great if you could get into a "selection mode" where possible:

The idea is to be able to mobilize only with hjkl and carry out actions on the nodes. Imagine it as the normal mode of VIM.

PS. My apologies if this is already implemented or if these types of features are not intended for bspwm. Let me know.

You can adjust those settings from sxhkdrc.

You can adjust those settings from sxhkdrc.

Can you give an example of how that could be done? I tried implementing it but couldn't figure a way (please excuse my noobness).

I cannot directly help but a perfect guide can be arcolinux github repo. Starting from line 394 you can see many options.

Additionally, you can also look at Derek Taylor's dotfiles.
