Description
This patch adds "window swallowing" to dwl.
If a user runs a graphical program from the terminal (e.g., mpv), the terminal
will be hidden and only a window of the newly spawned graphical program will
be visible. The terminal stays hidden until the graphical program is closed.
This patch helps users spawning a lot of graphical programs from their command
line by avoiding cluttering the screen with many unusable terminals.
foot is the terminal by default, you can change it in client rules in config.h.
In 2025-03-03 v0.7 version, the patch had been rewritten from scratch to make
it more robust and add a few more features:
- "dynamically swallow" windows by pressing
Alt+a(a focused window will swallow/unswallow the previously focused one) - toggle automatic swallowing by
Alt+Shift+a - if a window has swallowed another, it get thicker borders
