dskmgr 0.0.3

A two-dimensional desktops manager

dskmgr

Two dimensional, dynamic desktop/workspace manager for bspwm.

Description

Dskmgr handles bspwm operations such as creating new desktops, focusing desktops and moving around based on directions. For example, it can allow your desktop layout to look like this:

[0-2]       [2-2]
[0-1]       [2-1] [3-1]
[0-0] [1-0] [2-0] [3-0]

Where each number pair is a unique desktop, and you can navigate around in 4 directions. The program also remembers you vertical position's history, so if you were in [0-1] and moved right to 1-0, when you will move left again you will return to [0-1] rather than [0-0].

Install

python3 -m pip install dskmgr

Usage

Put dskmgrd & in you bspwmrc, and then change you desktop-managing shortcuts to use dskmgr rather than bspc.

TODOs

• Add proper tests.

• Make it so that when an error occurs (or even when an incorrect command is revieved) the dskmgr script will know to return an error code.

• Improve logging support in dskmgrd.

• Find a better name (maybe "meja"? It means "desk" in Indonesian)
