I tried to write a function that spawns a window/client and makes it

have no idea how to get/alter the isfloating value of the new client.
Simply taking the selected one won't work.
Example of use: You are reading a something in fullscreen and want to
try some code snippet or do some computations, I find it useful to
have a terminal (or someting else) floating around.
I could gain the same effect by switching the the layout to floating
and open the application then, but I wonder if its possible (without
big effort) to write such a function?
You could set a rule to match terminals based on title and mark them as
floating, then use urxvt -T floatingwin or something to launch the term.
I use the title matching trick a lot.

Thanks for your respond, it works for me!
