need for more widgets #51

Thanks to the command widget, I'm able to run an arbitrary action on zjstatus. For me, a single command widget is not enough; I run a conky to monitor my system, but I need to monitor the stock as well.

I have conceived two approaches

plugin based
- users develop theirs own widgets and load into zjstatus
command widget with vector in mind
- expanding the command widget with container such that it can hold multiple commands.

Hi and thanks for you suggestion.

How would this differ from the current behaviour with the command widget?

You can specify multiple command widgets, like command_conky and command_stock, analog to command_0 and command_1 in the plugin-dev-workspace.kdl. This way a user can basically use your first approach because you can specify one command per "plugin".

I'll close this issue, as you are able to run multiple commands with several command_{{name}} widgets. Feel free to add any details, if I'm missing something.
