Either
- This links to GitHub and the previous commits that add (basically) a local copy of the GitHub contents should go.
- This links to
recipes/sharedtags-greedyviewinstead.
Right now, the content added in the previous commits is not linked from anywhere and so could as well be removed.

These two signal connections can be replaced with just capi.screen.connect_signal("removed", function(s).

Uhm... assuming I understood this correctly, this is the same as awful.tag.viewmore(seltags, s), except that it does not mess up the tag history as badly.

What's up with t.screen <= capi.screen.count()? That seems (a) pointless (if screens are numbers) or (b) broken (if screen objects are used, which I think is actually the case).

Why do this in two lines instead of just screen.selected_tag.screen = oldscreen?

Huh? Does the comment mean this was fixed in 4.1?

Why the select trick instead of just __call = function(self, args) return sharedtags.new(args) end (which is IMO more readable).

Oh and: Is it a good idea to leave the URL in? It seems like this file was copied around and possibly changed at least four times since it was on that URL.

Implemented suggested changes

Thanks for the suggestions, I tried to change everything you mentioned. I am not really a trained programmer though, and the code is almost entirely written by someone else, so not sure if I did a good job. (In case this is wasting too much of your time, feel free to simply dismiss the pull request) |
This recipe allows to use tags differently in multiple monitor setting. The behaviour resembles xmonad's default behaviour. More information can be found in the description.
