cleaning up my own dwm patches here, I have patched dwm to take the current monitor index, because the software does not keep track of these things anywhere else. dmenu patch [1] against current tip 487 -- makes dmenu take a cli argument about what screen it is supposed to use. said screen will be inherited by the started application unless otherwise specified by a rule. dwm launcher function [2] against current tip 1599 that passes the current monitor accordingly. I hooked it up with a key combo. patches to your terminal emulator would be possible likewise. cheers! mar77i [1] http://ix.io/2iR [2] http://ix.io/2iS
