autostarttags

Description

Allow dwm to execute commands on specific tags during startup from an autostarttaglist array in your config.h file. The rules array is bypassed for commands in the autostarttaglist array. This allows you to initialize your session with applications on different tags without having to use any keybindings.

Example

static const char *browsercmd[]   = {"librewolf", NULL};
static const char *keepassxccmd[] = {"keepassxc", NULL};
static const char *emacscmd[]     = {"emacs",     NULL};
static const char *termcmd[]      = {"xterm",     NULL };

/* last cmd must be NULL! */
Autostarttag autostarttaglist[] = {
	{.cmd = browsercmd,   .tags = 1 << 0 },
	{.cmd = keepassxccmd, .tags = 1 << 4 },
	{.cmd = emacscmd,     .tags = 1 << 7 },
	{.cmd = termcmd,      .tags = 1 << 8 },
	{.cmd = NULL,         .tags = 0 },
};
