+### Description
+	This patch allows a window to adjust its layout as if it was fullscreen, but it won't change its size and position, and it will stays under the control of dwl. For example a video on a browser can occupy the whole space reserved to the window, but we can still resize it and move it and see the status bar.

+### Description
+Deck is a dwl-layout which is inspired by the dwm Deck layout (which is inspired by TTWM window manager). It applies the monocle-layout to the clients in the stack. The master-client is still visible. The stacked clients are like a deck of cards, hence the name.

+### Description
+
+By default, dwl responds to client requests to client messages by setting the urgency bit on the named window.
+This patch changes the focus to the window instead.
+Both behaviours are legitimate according to the cursed spec. 
+This is the approximately the equivalent of the focusonactive patch of dwm.
+If you want a more controlled behavior, for example setting which clients can focus, check [activation-rule patch](https://codeberg.org/sevz/dwl-patches/src/branch/activation-rules).

+### Description
+
+This patch introduces a new way to view and focus on a client:
+
+1. Press the shortcut defined on config.h once to view all windows across all tags using the gaplessgrid layout.
+
+2. Press it again to view the selected window in its original tag using the monocle layout.
+
+The idea is to press a shortcut (e.g., `Mod+g`) to display all windows, then after
+selecting one, press it again to jump to that window's tag and focus on it.
+
+This patch depends on two other patches: [gaplessgrid](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl-patches/src/branch/main/patches/gaplessgrid)
+and [winview](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl-patches/src/branch/main/patches/winview).
+
+If you already have the other two patches added to your `dwl` build, you can simply
+apply `gridall.diff`. If not, I've also created a combined patch
+that includes winview, gaplessgrid, and gridall `winview+gaplessgrid+gridall.diff`.
+
+Additionally, this patch serves as an example of how to combine two functions
+under a single shortcut, allowing users to further customize their `dwl` setup.
+
+**Note:** Sometimes a window may get "lost" in one of the tags. This patch helps
+you quickly find and focus on it without having to move it or change its tag.
