Re: So, what next?

Hi Matthew,

Thank you for your work!

On my wish list:
- Xrandr handling (I am looking at it on my free time);
- XFT fonts handling, will give access to many great fonts;
- add a f.copytitle function that copies the title of the window to the 
primary selection and/or clipboard;
- ability to exec a ctwm function at runtime: dialog box with a text 
field or drop down list with all available functions or a predefined menu;
- handling too long menus (more entries than vertical space on screen);
- ability to have "mouse" and "random" geometries in WindowGeometries 
("mouse" places the window under mouse without waiting for a click, 
"random" has the same effect than 'RandomPlacement "on"' used when 
RandomPlacement is set globally to "off" or "unmapped").

Best regards,

Max.
