Re: [STUMP] Workspace per screen

[Aaron France]

Any chance you could show me a screencast of this working and more of your config?

Well, I am an author of window-tags module… for what you want you also
need frame-tags, too.

Window tagging is in stumpwm-contrib, and frame tagging together with
most of my config are available online at

http://mtn-host.prjek.net/viewmtn/stumpwm-tagging/

The basic idea is that you can assign an arbitrary set of
case-insensitive tags to each window and to each frame. Frame tags
starting with tg/ specify tagged groups; frames in the same tagged
group can be handled together by special bindings.

There are bindings to alter the set of windows in the current tagged
group of frames (windows are specified by tags).

What is currently missing is automatic saving of frame layouts inside
a tagged group (you can either add the windows as is in the current
layout or wipe the splits inside the tagged group). It is mostly because
I use a small number of split patterns and just define commands that
reproduce them in the current tagged frame group.
