Thank you that seems like exactly what I was looking for
Edit: I just tested this and it works assuming that the window is already open it works but if it hasn't it still puts more in a situation where I need to sleep until the window has opened.
Edit Edit: Actually I think I was just doing something else wrong
Hey Brodie,
I watched your video on adding tabbed to bspwm and I was following your gist but I found some errors in your current gist. I had to refer back to the gist that was in the video which seemed accurate.
I think the following line is supposed to be at line 58 which is under the remove
block,
if [ -z $(tabc list $tabbedid) ]; then xdotool windowkill $tabbedid fi
I found that a variable is misspelled, xdotool windowreparent $wid
$tabbed is supposed to be xdotool windowreparent $wid
$tabbedid
Adding a focused window to west/east or left/right is not working is due to the target window not being a instance of tabbed.
Some hints:
- There's no need to sleep after calling
tabbed
, callingtabbed -d
will return the wid of the created window (also I believexdo
s-m
parameter causes it to wait until there's a window that matches). Nonetheless I don't get what you need$tabbedid
for, because you never use it?! - Using the syntax
name() {
offers way better compability with older shells thanfunction name {
. Especially because you specified/bin/sh
as interpreter, your script may not run in other people's environments. - Quoting variables prevents globbing and word splitting. I recommend
shellcheck
for linting your scripts :)
Instead of
tabbed &; sleep 0.1; tabbedid=$(xdotool search --class tabbed | tail -n1)
, you can just dotabbed &; tabbedid=$!
($!
is the process ID of the last run process)
You can actually just change tabbed to tabbed -c
in the add cmd, which is a builtin param for tabbed that auto closes when the last tab is closed.
Hello!
To get win id without sleep I use:
tabbedid=$(tabbed -c -d)
-d detaches tabbed from the terminal and prints its XID to stdout.
Here is a solution to retrieve the window id without using sleep
. Hope it helps: plmi/dotfiles@71d1fd5#diff-126a1e1993e27b2e10ae75f52c689bcacc01f9dc135d345f4f910975126e43d1
@BrodieRobertson i would love to have the scirpt working again! Can you please help?
very annoying error! i think it has someting to do with being posix compliant.
