"name[n]" configuration parameter documentation is misleading #33

Closed levaidaniel closed 10 years ago

levaidaniel commented 10 years ago

The name[n] entry in the spectrwm(1) manual is misleading:

Set name of workspace n at start-of-day.

I would think I can use name[1] = My_workspace and then name[2] = fizzy-pop. Instead, the correct syntax is the same as with autorun. So I can configure my workspaces' names like the following: name = ws[1]:My_workspace and name = ws[2]:Three word name Here is a diff:
