Ugh, please use wmii-hg from AUR. I'm probably going to release
3.7 soon.

Don't bother with debug statements, just wrap the whole block
with:

set -x

set +x

Ok, $client should obviously *not* be Mod4-Return, that's your
last key press. I'm not sure what's wrong there. At any rate, I
think I posted that code with the usual caveat that it's not
tested. Someone sent me a fix, off-list, a week or so ago:

Hi Kris.

On 21th December you posted a little snippet on the wmii list in response to
>if there is 1 column open, then open a new column when I create
>a window otherwise, split current column.

         Event CreateClient
                 local client=$1
                 IFS=+; local tags=$(wmiir read /client/$client/tags); unset IFS
                 for tag in $tags; do
                         if [ $(wmiir read "/tag/$tag/index" | grep '^#' | wc - l) = 2 ]; then
                                 wmiir xwrite "/tag/$tag/ctl" $client right
                         fi
                 done

Well, it doesn't seem to work. After much fiddling it seems to
work when you correct the write line as follows:

                              wmiir xwrite "/tag/$tag/ctl" send sel right

I'm nowhere near proficient in wmii but thought you might want to know.
