Hi all Two little patches for quark: 1. use strsignal() 2. clean up whitespace/indentation If useful, you'd maybe want to apply them upstream. Regards -- Džen diff -r d982c42802b4 quark.c --- a/quark.c Wed Feb 16 20:29:55 2011 + +++ b/quark.c Wed Apr 20 08:56:03 2011 +0200 @@ -472,14

[dev] Why dwm or wmii over xmonad, etc., or not?

2011-04-20 Thread Eitan Goldshtrom
Hi Everyone, So I started using wmii a couple months ago. It was the first time I wasn't using GNOME and it's default stuff and I did so because a friend recommended wmii to me. So now I want to know what you all think. Why are dwm and wmii better than other tiling WMs? Or not? And what are you

For me dwm just works. I fiddled around with config.h for maybe an hour after first getting dwm, and since then have basically left it alone to do its wonders. It's reliable, quick, and simple. Plus it's well-written C, so I learn nicely as and when I want to, poking around to see how things work.

Hi, attached is a patch for st-0.1.1 that will make the following changes: - rewrote some of the drawing routines, should be faster now and allows to draw the selection while selecting - pressing ESC clears selection - CTRL+left/right jumps words I'm not sure it's implemented to your standard

I like dwm because of the simplicity of the product itself. It's essentially the simplest example of what I think a tiling window manager should be. I prefer the Master / Slave idea to Wmii's columns, and dwm implements it in it's most basic form.

Line buffer editing/positioning shouldn't be handled by st itself, it should be delegated to an external tools (most likely the shell).
