RFC: Split up in independent packages #6

Closed dakra closed 6 years ago

dakra commented 6 years ago

I "only" use exwm and don't want all the appconfig, buttons etc that exwm-x provides.

I would like to have the dmenu and quickrun functionality though and I think other people would like that as well. So maybe do a more independent exwm-quickrun package and maybe ivy-dmenu. On ivy-dmenu someone could define the ivy action like they want, that way exwm-x just has to require ivy-dmenu and set the exwmx specific actions.

Split Exwm-X seem to need much time, for appconfig is the core of exwm-x, which is in everywhere. at the moment I have no time to do this job ...

dakra commented 6 years ago

Understood.

However exwmx-dmenu which is the most useful for me seems to be pretty independent.

I just replaced exwmx with exwm in exwmx-dmenu.el and changed exwmx-quickrun with start-process-shell-command and it works nicely.

If you don't have the time, would you mind if I copy some of the useful stuff of exwmx and publish them as "independent" packages?

Thanks :)

For me, no problem, but you should contact with DarkSun @lujun9972, for exwmx-dmenu is a fork of el-dmenu :-)

tumashu commented 6 years ago

maybe you can PR el-dmenu to add feature you desired :-)

dakra commented 6 years ago

Ah, ok. Didn't realize it's a fork. Should have looked on melpa first. ;) el-dmenu looks good.

Thanks.
