Hooks\015\012\015\012{{>toc}}\015\012\015\012Hooks are small blocks of code (Ruby procs or lambdas) that can be called on certain events of the window manager. Many hooks get an object matching to the type hook, like a client object for the client_create hook. Generally all hooks can be either used inside of the config or in a sublet.\015\012\015\012The only difference is that when a hook inside of the config can have one argument, a hook inside of a sublets has an additional argument - the instance of the sublet itself and this will always be the first argument.\015\012\015\012

\015\012# A hook in the config\015\012on :client_create do |c|\015\012  puts c.name #< Name of the client\015\012end\015\012\015\012# A hook in a sublet\015\012on :client_create do |s, c|\015\012  puts s.name #< Name of the sublet\015\012  puts c.name #< Name of the client\015\012end\015\012
