vim-like bookmarks feature ?

Open franzhuang opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Is there quickest ways to switch to a specific client? I mean, like drop-down terminal, I can press a key or a combination to switch to a client. Tilix terminal's quake mode is a drop-down terminal which I like very much , however , it's a little delayed when I drop down on awesomeWM,and it's getting slower (two+ seconds) when codes are getting complicated in tilix. I know someone assigns different tags (workspaces) to specific clients so that he can swich to specific client through specific tag. Is there other options, I mean, vim-like bookmarks feature that allows one to go to client in fastest way. Or if you have other tricks can do the same thing?

You could add an arbitrary property to a client in order to use that as a bookmark, and then iterate clients to locate. It could be a bit static but shouldn't take too long to script.

Alternatively, If you are specifically looking for quake dropdown functionality, you could use https://github.com/lcpz/lain/blob/master/util/quake.lua . Another quick alternative to locate a window might be rofi -show window.
