Overview¶

The merger displays the available views in a selection window in the center of the screen in different colors:

1. Views the client is visible in are shown in occupied color
2. The current view in the focus color
3. Other views just in the view color

The cursor keys move the selection through the list, Space marks the current view in the urgent color and Enter merges the tags of the selected views and effectively displays all clients that match the new tags. The tags are stored and can be reset on a next run of the merger.

Keys¶

Usage¶

Either call it like ruby merger.rb from commandline or add following loader and grab to your subtle config.

{{hide}}begin
  require "#{ENV["HOME"]}/path/to/merger.rb" 
rescue LoadError => error
  puts error
end

grab "W-m" do
  Subtle::Contrib::Merger.run
end

Install¶

Currently there is no package available and you need either to clone the repository:

hg clone http://hg.subforge.org/subtle-contrib

Or download the latest archive:

http://hg.subforge.org/subtle-contrib/archive/tip.tar.bz2

These scripts may work, if you encounter any problems please ask in the usual places.

Configuration¶

Per default, the merger uses fixed as font, this can be changed after requiring the merger.rb and before running it for the first time.

Fonts¶

{{hide}}begin
  require "#{ENV["HOME"]}/path/to/merger.rb" 

  # Set font
  Subtle::Contrib::Merger.font = "xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:pixelsize=80:antialias=true" 
rescue LoadError => error
  puts error
end
