awesomebar
Description
This patch changes the taskbar to be more like awesome. To be specific, it:
- shows all tasks in the current tag in the taskbar at all times
- clicking on an unfocused window's title in the taskbar focuses that window
- clicking on a focused window's title in the taskbar hides that window
- clicking on a hidden window's title in the taskbar unhides and focuses that window
You can also hide and unhide windows from the keyboard. The default bindings are:
- M-j/M-k to cycle through the visible windows in the current workspace
- M-J/M-K to cycle through all windows in the current workspace - hidden windows shown this way are re-hidden once focus is lost
- M-h to hide the current active window
- M-s to unhide a window made visible by M-J/M-K
- M-S to show all windows in the current workspace including hidden windows
Since this patch relies on knowing how big everything is in the taskbar, make sure to adjust the buttonpress()/drawbar() functions to account for any space in the taskbar used by other patches (such as systray).
