# Experimental: rename a AwesomeWM tag, using Zenity for UI.
#
# Should be easier.

# Query current tag name

echo "cur: $cur"

# Ask for the new name
new=$(zenity --entry --text="New tag name" --entry-text=$cur | sed "s/'/\\\'/g")
echo "new (escaped): $new"

# Set the new name.
echo "require('awful').tag.selected().name = '${new}'" | awesome-client
