+Workspaces
+==========
+
+*by [Jesus Galan (yiyus)](mailto:yiyu dot jgl at gmail>) (aug 30 21:41:42 CEST 2008)*
+
+Adds to dwm the functionality of remembering tagset, layout and mfact for a given number of workspaces. You can also define preconfigured workspaces.
+
+Code
+----
+
+Insert this code before your keys definitions in config.h or in an included .c file:
+
+ typedef struct Workspace Workspace;
+ struct Workspace {
+ unsigned int tagset;
+ Layout *lt;
+ float mfact;
+ };
+
+ static Workspace workspaces[] = {
+ /* tagset layout fact */
+ { (1 << 0), &layouts[0], 0.55},
+ { (1 << 0) | (1<< 8), &layouts[0], 0.75},
+ { (1 << 0) | (1<< 1) | (1<< 8), &layouts[1], 0},
+ { (1<< 8), &layouts[2], 0},
+ };
+
+ static unsigned int ws = 0;
+
+ static void
+ setws(int nws) {
+ workspaces[ws].tagset = tagset[seltags];
+ workspaces[ws].lt = lt[sellt];
+ workspaces[ws].mfact = (workspaces[ws].lt == &layouts[0]) ? mfact : 0;
+ if(nws < LENGTH(workspaces))
+ ws = nws;
+ if(workspaces[ws].tagset) {
+ tagset[seltags] = workspaces[ws].tagset;
+ lt[sellt] = workspaces[ws].lt;
+ if(workspaces[ws].mfact != 0)
+ mfact = workspaces[ws].mfact;
+ arrange();
+ }
+ }
+
+ static void
+ prevws(const Arg *arg) {
+ setws((ws == 0) ? LENGTH(workspaces) - 1 : ws - 1);
+ }
+
+ static void
+ nextws(const Arg *arg) {
+ setws((ws == LENGTH(workspaces) - 1) ? 0 : ws + 1);
+ }
+
+And then, you can define keys:
+
+ { MODKEY, XK_Tab, nextws, {0} },
+ { MODKEY|ShiftMask, XK_Tab, prevws, {0} },
+
+Or mouse buttons:
+
+ { ClkTagBar, 0, Button4, prevws, {0} },
+ { ClkTagBar, 0, Button5, nextws, {0} },
+
+Comments
+--------
+
+It is so easy to change the viewed tags, layout and mfact in dwm than having artifacts to remember them are not neccesary, this patch is just an example of how it could be implemented, but it won't be updated for future releases.
+
+It should be easy to add to the workspaces the possibility to remember bar position too.
+
+It is not neccesary to define all your workspaces (or any of them). You can perfectly do:
+
+ static Workspace workspaces[16] = {
+ /* tagset layout fact */
+ { (1 << 0), &layouts[0], 0.55},
+ { (1 << 0) | (1<< 8), &layouts[0], 0.75},
+ };
+
+or:
+
+ static Workspace workspaces[16];
+
+
