You could add a one-liner in setlayout() to output the layout character to stdout and redirect that to some file that your status script is reading in. However I can't see the point why you'd want that? Getting rid of the bar altogether? Cheers, Anselm

I'll apply this to mainstream dwm since it fixes the flash fullscreen issue apparently. I went extremely busy for the past 2 months and didn't continue with my flash fullscreen investigation a I started in April. I still think there must be a non-EWMH solution to the problem and I will revise the current focus handling very soon, 'cos my workload is back to normal now. Cheers, Anselm

Re: [dev] [dwm] can't toggle tags with mouse
Oh dear how bad has my english to be since nobody is understanding me right. *g*
Well second approach. Currently I'm using the following code to
generate my statusbar:
#set statusbar
while true
do
if acpi -a | grep off-line > /dev/null; then
xsetroot -name "Bat. $( acpi -b | awk '{ print $4 " " $5 }' |
tr -d ',' ) | Vol. $(amixer get Master | tail -1 | awk '{ print $5}' |
tr -d '[]') | $(date +"%a, %b %d %R")"
else
xsetroot -name "Vol. $(amixer get Master | tail -1 | awk '{
print $5}' | tr -d '[]') | $(date +"%a, %b %d %R")"
fi
sleep 1s
done &
The point is now that I want to extend exactly this statusbar to
display the layout I'm using, so either 'de' or 'pl'.
So no, I don't want to get rid of it.
Please say you understand what I intend. :)
Regards
Robert

Sorry I didn't read the full thread.
I guess
setxkbmap -print
might provide you the info you need to grep to decide if its de or pl.

But here is an indirect one. If you use again something like setxkbmap -option "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:caps" "de,pl" then you can do xset -q and you should see that "LED mask" changes (for me at least) from to 1001 as you change between de and pl layout. You can then use this fact to script up an appropriate line for xsetroot which shows "de" or "pl" in your statusbar. > By the way thanks for the improved version of your patch. I applied it > and it's still working fine. :) Nice to hear that it fixed your bug. Since nobody has reported it before, I conclude that swapping keyboard layouts is uncommon among dwm users, and probably it is not worth to propose this patch for mainline dwm? Andreas
Re: [dev] [wmii] problem with wmiir xwrite /client/$client/ctl kill
I ran into the same problem today. The wmiirc script as well as all my
status bar scripts die frequently. All of them are run with dash.
Switching /bin/sh from dash to bash (and replacing dash with bash in
wmiirc) fixes the problem. It seems to be related to the latest update
of dash (0.5.5.1-5) in Debian.
One example is the attached script, which shows my mail count, and
shows ~/.fetchmaillog on a right click. Strangely, the script survives
multiple right clicks (the file is shown in multiple windows), but
dies as soon as one of those windows is closed, either via C-c, or via
Mod-Shift-c.

Re: [dev] [surf] please recheck tip
Hi,
I've been working a bit more on the patch and I think the new solution
is a quite better, now everything work as spected in the popup menu:
"save image as", "download linked file". And when you click a link if
it cannot be displayed in surf, a xterm with wget is launched.
Furthermore, this way we can remove all the AtomHiLight stuff. Also, it
saves 8 LOC :)
Kind regards,

Just to clarify, Robert uses a setup equivalent to
setxkbmap -option "grp:alt_shift_toggle" "de,pl"
This means that he toggles between de and pl layout by pressing alt+shift
simultaneously. In this case
setxkbmap -print
gives the same output
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwertz)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat{ include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include
"pc+de+pl:2+inet(evdev)+group(alt_shift_toggle)"};
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" };
};
independent of which layout is active.

could be fixed via

Re: [dev] [dwm] can't toggle tags with mouse
Hello Andreas,
your solution is almost working. The only thing that doesn't fit is
the length of the output. de/pl should only by two letters but in the
output there are a plenty of blanks before. I assume this happens
because the eight digits were substituted by only two letters?
Better understanding:
xxde where 'x' stands for a blank
Could that be corrected to use not so much space in the bar?

You can use this :

I tried your code but this always just displays 'de'. There is no
change while toggling between the layouts.

Re: [dev] Re: [dwm] can't toggle tags with mouse
I just discovered that this only happens when I change the layout via evdev.
When changing manually via setxkbmap de or pl the xkb_symbols line
changes and your code would work.

Before and after toggling it contains the string "+pc+de+pl" which simply says that you can toggle between de and pl layout, but does not tell you which one is currently active. Obviously if you toggle your keyboard using "setxkbmap" directly, then xkb_symbols changes from "+pc+de" to "+pc+pl". >From "man setxkbmap" you can see that "setxkbmap -print" is actually intended to be piped into xkbcomp and not for determining the current state of the keyboard.

That would probably be a good idea, if you can come up with a good test case. -- Kris Maglione Understand this, I mean to arrive at the truth. The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it. --Agatha Christie

The simplest idea, dash -c 'while true; do xterm & sleep 10; done' unfortunately does not die when I kill the xterm. But I will look into it, reducing the script I have as much as possible.

Does dash dump a core, by chance? -- Kris Maglione Perhaps when a man has special knowledge and special powers like my own, it rather encourages him to seek a complex explanation when a simpler one is at hand. --"Sherlock Holmes"

The Arch developers just pushed out an update of dash to version 0.5.6 today. Test your script with that version first. Robert Ransom

For what it's worth, I've sent a report to the dash mailing list. The
offending revision is 3800d4934391b144:[JOBS] Fix dowait signal race
This means that the bug was introduced just after 0.5.5.1 and first
showed up in 0.5.6, so if you can revert to some prior version, you
should be golden.
The test case is:
#!/bin/dash
{
echo foo
sleep 1
echo foo
echo done>/dev/tty
} | while read p; do
( echo good & ) &
done
echo done

Please don't fall into the trap of believing that I am terribly
dogmatical about [the goto statement]. I have the uncomfortable
feeling that others are making a religion out of it, as if the
conceptual problems of programming could be solved by a single trick,
by a simple form of coding discipline!
