winview
Description
Dwm tags are a powerfull feature that allows organizing windows in workspaces.
Sometime it can be difficult to remember the tag to activate to unhide a
window. With the winview patch the window to unhide can be selected from the
all-window view. The user switches to the all-window view (Mod1-0), selects
the window (Mod1-j/k or using the mouse) and press Mod1-o. The key
Mod1-o switches the view to the selected window tag.
Recommend patches
The grid layout is well adapted to display many windows in a limited space. Using both grid and pertag patches you will be able to select this layout for the all-window view while keeping your preferred layout for the other views.
Configuration and Installation
Using the default configuration file
- Make sure the directory where you build dwm does not contain a config.h file;
- Apply the patch;
- Run make and make install.
Using an existing customised configuration file
Apply the patch; Add the following element in the keys array:

Run make and make install.
An example of how to insert this line can be found in the default config file template, config.def.h.
