Description
This patch adds a dmenu interface to setrule, which allows to add or change client rules at runtime. It must be applied on top of setrule and menu patches.
You can invoke the menu by pressing Alt+R. The menu lists all the rules, plus
a shortcut to define a new one that would apply to the currently focused client
(marked with (NEW)). Rules that already apply to the focused client are marked
with <.
To edit a rule, you need to select it, press Tab, change what you need and
finally press Enter. You can remove a rule by prepending it with -. To add a
new rule, just put new values into [appid|title].
To add support for new rules, you need to edit fprintf and sscanf calls in
menurulefeed and menuruleaction functions respectively.
For example, this is what I did to add support for swallow patch rules.
