Scratchpad for newm #70

Open iCultureBud opened 2 years ago

iCultureBud commented 2 years ago

One thing I miss a bit is a scratchpad like sway has.

Is something like this planned or wanted?

If not planned, I offer myself to give it a try ;)

That's a good idea. Something like this (Conceptually) is actually already there - the launcher panel. This is just a terminal placed off-screen and running newm-panel-basic launcher, which can be moved on-screen by a keybinding or a 5-finger gesture.

Possibly this can be repurposed as it is, probably the solution should be to extend / generalize the concept. If you want to take a look, check out the file view.py and take a look for the View.panel attribute.

Yeah I had the same thought. So I'll take a look at it and create a PR.

@iCultureBud how's it going working on this?
