Window Management

From Arnout Engelen

[edit] Ion3

Ion3 is an interesting window manager: it splits up the screen into several non-overlapping user-resizable 'tiles'. Windows are automatically resized to fit into one of these tiles, and can be moved from one tile to another. A tile can contain multiple windows, they will be tabbed.

I wrote a [Guided tour to Ion2] to introduce the concept, most of it is also valid for Ion3.

[edit] Eclipse

To make Eclipse a bit more usable, I added the following to my configuration:

defwinprop{
        class = "Eclipse",
        name = "Find/Replace",
        float = true,
        transient_mode = "off",
        userpos = true,
}
defwinprop{
        class = "Eclipse",
        name = "Open Resource",
        transient_mode = "off",
}
defwinprop{
        class = "Eclipse",
        name = "Open Type",
        transient_mode = "off",
}
