Re: Swap behavior request and thanks for the RPWS changes.

I decided to whip together a simple POC wrapper for this swap issue,
it is not beautiful but is very functional and should fill your desire
until RP source is updated.

I have attached the bash script to this email, please let me know any
issues you may find, I have not found any thus far but havent really
pushed it.

To use it you could just unbind the normal key command for "swap" then
bind the same key command to that script and your golden.

# Synopsis:	Simple wrapper script for ratpoisons "swap" feature
# Author:		thims (root DOT packet AT gmail DOT com)

# Comments:	

# A simple wrapper script to give ratpoisons "swap" command the 
# ability to automatically swap frames if only 2 frames are open.


frames=$(( $(ratpoison -c sfdump | sed 's/,/\n/g' | wc -l) - 1)) # minus 1 due to the trailing , in sfdump
framenum=( )
cnt=0

for i in $(ratpoison -c sfdump | sed 's/,/\n/g' | awk -F\n '{print $2}' | awk -F" " '{print $2}')
do 
	framenum[$cnt]=$i
	cnt=$((cnt + 1))
done

if [ $frames == 2 ] ;then
	ratpoison -c "swap ${framenum[0]} ${framenum[1]}"
else
	ratpoison -i -c swap
