I've used dwm for about half a year now (3 years of wmii before), and like it a lot. However, I find that the handling of tags for multiple monitors keeps disturbing my workflow. Isn't it against the general philosophy of dwm to assign a definite monitor to each window, and to have separate tagsets for each monitor?
I usually use tags as a sort of "grouping" of windows pertaining to certain tasks. With only one monitor, dwm works wonderfully for me, and I never have to think about arranging windows. But with two monitors, I constantly find myself moving windows between the two, and searching for windows that I "lost" because I put them on the other monitor, which makes them lose their previously assigned tags. I would imagine that the (or my at least) workflow could be much smoother if there was only one tagset, independently of the number of monitors, and if there were (a) layout(s) suitable for multi-screen views. The first useful layout for two monitors that would come to my mind would consist of two master windows plus one stack on one of the two monitors. What do you guys think? How do you make efficient use of two monitors? Do you find the current tag/monitor paradigm useful? I would be very interested in your opinions. Best, TD
