> I saw a Mod+t to mark a client, I tested it. It can not mark multiple client.
It can mark multiple clients, but I guess what you (rather, the
default rc.lua) are missing is a means to jump/cycle those clients.
This snippet might help:
-- iterator: cycle over a table starting from the next element
local function cycle(t, item)
local index = awful.util.table.hasitem(t, item)
local size = table.getn(t)
local count = 0
return function ()
index = next(t, index) or 1; count = count + 1
if not (count > size) then return t[index] end
end
end
-- cycle through marked clients
function cycle_marked()
local clients = capi.client.get()
local focused = awful.client.next(0)
for c in cycle(clients, focused) do
if ismarked(c) then
local ctags = c:tags()
if table.getn(ctags) == 0 then
-- not on any tag, show client on current tag
awful.client.movetotag(awful.tag.selected(), c)
else
-- else, pop to first tag client is visible on
awful.tag.viewonly(ctags[1])
end
-- And then focus the client
client.focus = c
c:raise()
return
end
end
end
I bind cycle_marked to mod4 + a (globalkeys):
awful.key({ config.global.modkey, }, "a", cycle_marked ),
> I want to know what it is used for .
Earlier I used to have a lot of terminal's open, and I would mark the
irb, or rails output terminal as marked and cycle through them with
Mod4+a. Now I just use tmux.
I find it useful sometime during exams, when I have a lot of pdf, and
ppt open. There is always one topic that is supposed to be the current
focus. I mark the corresponding document and keep jumping back to it
with Mod4 + a :).
