Sv: is there a user mailing list/group for StumpWM?

Dynamic-group-master-layout is an accessor, so you need to pass it the grou=
p as an argument, eg (setf (dynamic-group-master-layout (current-group)) :r=
ight) in a dynamic group. Im not sure if this is exported so you may need t=
he package as a part of the symbol.

After a quick test it seems that the strings Left, Right, Top, and Bottom a=
re what the commands i named accept. Eg (in the : prompt) change-layout Rig=
ht. You can also just enter change-layout and then press tab to cycle throu=
gh the available arguments.

Are you in the stumpwm package or the stumpwm-user package? This is a gener=
ic function defined in the stumpwm package.

If you want to peruse the source you can see the file dynamic-group.lisp. t=
he commands begin at line 1050, and the whole implementation of dynamic gro=
ups exists (almost entirely) within this file.

I hope that clears things up a little, dont hesitate to ask more questions.
