Ignore window

Open hjpakgn opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

I have a suggestion: add a way to ignore (no border, no alt-tab) windows by class/name. Maybe this is already possible with ruler and some other tool but I couldn't figure it out.

I think that you can use ruler and ignw from wmutils core. Don't hesitate to reply if you have further issues!

Thanks for the reply! I tried using ignw from wmutils but it had no effect: the command i tried was "ignw $(pfw)", which is supposed to ignore the focused window. I also tried using both the -r and the -s flag but neither worked. Maybe some wm_config option needs to be set with waitron for it to work?

Looked through the code and it looks like I haven't implemented the case when a window that was previously not ignored (has override redirect flag unset) becomes ignored.

Sadly I can not implement this currently as I am busy studying but I'm going to keep the issue open. Sorry for that.
