Tag behaviour

First things first, shouldn't you focus on ExperimentalWM instead of fixing these? :p

  1. Could the taskbar and the Alt-Tab behaviour reflect only the current tag, say windows on other tags don't have icons on the taskbar and I can't alt-tab to them?
  2. Would it be possible to add an option to only use 1 tag per window? So whenever I change the current tag for a window it will disappear from view.

I certainly should be! But HashTWM is here to stay for now so if I can make it's users more comfortable then that's a plus too :)

  1. I'm not sure how possible this will be, without setting up "virtual workspaces" of sorts. This is something I might be able to look into though, as it is how I wanted to originally implement tags/workspaces, and I believe Windows does have an API for it.
  2. This should be an easy fix, I'll see if I can add a command-line flag for this soon.

I think it's better to focus on the future ETWM in the end, and it's not fair for me to ask you to implement bits and pieces until I get a proper i3 clone for Windows. :P

I'll close this (since I'd open more issues, like a proper key remap and so on; see I can't stop and you're a nice enough person to answer, let alone actually code it :D) and I'll keep an eye on your repos.

No problem, I will still try and get this feature done since it should be a quick one, but I certainly have some grand visions for a future WM :)

Okay give the --one-tag option a try :)

10x for the quick one. Reading https://github.com/Tzbob/python-windows-tiler/blob/master/pwt/window.py yields this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms633548(v=vs.85).aspx
