It occurred to me that the reason why the spatial concept was so different is that it's a method of inter-group or inter-screen management. Tiling is intra-screen, how we divide up a single screen to show multiple application windows without overlapping. Spatially organizing entire screens together is inter-screen management, which provides a grid of screens and a desktop analogy to navigate. Today the default for this is a variable list of single screens. I have the impression this is generally a short list, with new groups made for a specific purpose. However I don't think there is a method for organizing groups outside of that list. All the default keybinds work with a short list of groups. For example next group, prev group, select group from list, jump to group by function key. In particular C-t F# looks limited to function keys F1 through F12. Is that truly the case, that most StumpWM users are just navigating between a few groups with hotkeys? Are there other methods of inter-group management or organization? ------------------------------------------------------------------ Russell Adams [email protected] PGP Key ID: 0x1160DCB3 http://www.adamsinfoserv.com/ Fingerprint: 1723 D8CA 4280 1EC9 557F 66E8 1154 E018 1160 DCB3
