Hi All,
* CLASS & RESOURCE DYNAMIC CONTEXTS
Well i guess the cat's out of the bag.
My idea was to implement Class & Resource specific contexts.
Thus allowing class/res. specific bindings.
I got stalled when designing a suitable data structure for storing
the bindings -- this requires a lot of source code in contrast to
the compiled in version i hacked up earlier. Either way, this was the
syntax we decided on (for an example FvwmTabs key binding):
FvwmContext FvwmTabs C "FvwmTabs"
[ set the FvwmTabs context to match windows with class name matching
"FvwmTabs" ]
Key Tab (FvwmTabs) C Function NextTab
[ Any windows matching the FvwmTabs context parse this binding,
all others simply ignore it -- i.e. Mozilla still gets the Ctrl-Tab ]
I would be very interested in current fvwm hackers' views on this
feature and its feasibility. I would be happy to do most of the code
myself, but obviously experienced fvwm-ers will have valuable advice
when extensively modifying the code tree.
Mostly, a nicely compatible/similar data structure for keeping these
bindings (similar to current bindings structure) is the stumbling block.
Alternatively, a compilable version using currently unreserved context
letters can be provided with a few changes by myself if this change is
too major/not feasible. e.g.
Key Tab X C Function NextTab
(Where CONTEXT_X="FvwmTabs" is in defines.h)
Let me know what you think.
Craig
