Zwei's dwm Fork

dwm for those who like odd monitor configurations

Let's say that you had the bad taste to create a monitor configuration as follows:

flowchart LR
    top[1440x900]
    top --- middle
    subgraph middlerow[&nbsp]
        style middlerow fill:none,stroke-width:0px
        direction LR
        left[1200\nx\n1920] --- middle[1920 x 1200] --- right[1920 x 1200]
    end

Under normal circumstances, you'll have to furiously toggle , and . to get to the right monitor. However, if you're already in such a predicament, it's highly likely you have the good fortune to possess a numpad. Wouldn't it be great if you could map your monitor to something along the following lines:

flowchart LR
    top[8]
    top --- middle
    subgraph middlerow[&nbsp]
        style middlerow fill:none,stroke-width:0px
        direction LR
        left[4] --- middle[5] --- right[6]
    end

Well now you can!

Own Patches

All patches can be found in the ./patches folder.

focustagtomon

Adds in focusmonnum and tagmonnum methods which are the equivalent of
focusmon and tagmon but accept an interger monitor number to use rather
than just a direction.

Can be called in config as follows:
MODKEY, XK_KP_Left,  focusmonnum, {.i = 2 }
MODKEY, XK_KP_Begin, tagmonnum,   {.i = 3 }

Very useful for multi-monitor setups with strange configurations such as
4 monitors laid out 3 in one row and one on top in the middle.

centermousetomon

Requires above focustagtomon.

Call with monitor number to move mouse to center of that monitor.

Ex:
{ MODKEY|ControlMask, XK_KP_Left,  centermousetomonnum, {.i = 2 } },

Useful in combination with keynav to allow for keynav multi-monitor moving. Example in keynavrc:

KP_Begin sh "sleep 0.1; xdotool key 'Super+Control+KP_Begin' 'Super+semicolon'", end
KP_Up sh "sleep 0.1; xdotool key 'Super+Control+KP_Up' 'Super+semicolon'", end
KP_Left sh "sleep 0.1; xdotool key 'Super+Control+KP_Left' 'Super+semicolon'", end
KP_Right sh "sleep 0.1; xdotool key 'Super+Control+KP_Right' 'Super+semicolon'", end

Use the -plus version to add centermousetomon which uses direction instead of monitor number.
