- I also love ctwm; but Peter's example .ctwmrc file didn't include an
- example of another nice feature - the ability to place a new window
- (or whatever) in a predetermined workspace. Here's what the man page
- says:
-
- Occupy { occupy-list }
- This variable specifies which window occupy which
- workspace at startup.
-
- Where occupy-list is a list entries of the form :
-
- [Window] win-name { wpsc1 wspc2 ... }
- or Workspace wspc-name {win1 win2 ... }
-
- Example :
-
- Occupy {
- "xload" {"all"}
- Window "xterm" {"here" "there" "elsewhere"}
- "xv" {"images"}
- WorkSpace "images" {"xloadimage"}
- }
-
-
- BUT note that it doesn't matter when the window is called.
-
-
-
-
- There is also a mapform for ctwm (shows map of all windows on all workspaces and
- allows user to use mouse to manage these windows - simple to move windows from one
- w'space to another and (of wanted) to warp cursor there)
