Having recently converted from 1.24r and gotten things to work nearly
the way I want them, I have some questions:
1. How does the execution of the lines of an AddToFunc depend on the
success/failure of the preceding lines? The function below seems to
do what I want, i. e.:
-- If a window by that name exists, make sure it's not iconified
and give it focus.
-- If no such window exists, create one ($1 since the command to
create a window may differ from its name once created), wait for
it to appear and then give it the focus.
AddToFunc Warp I Next [$0] Iconify -1
+ I Next [$0] Focus
+ I None [$0] Exec detach $1
+ I Wait $0
+ I Next [$0] Focus
No window gets created if one already exists, which is what I want,
but I would like to know how this comes about. The man page doesn't
seem to say anything about this.
2. The man page states that you can use $0-9. Is there any parallel
to shell $* or $_at_, i. e. *all* the positional parameters?
3. When I invoke WindowList from the keyboard, as in
Key o A 3 WindowList 0 0
it takes *two* keystrokes to jump to some window. It doesn't seem
to matter whether the window's number is the first, last or both of
these. If I key in two different numbers, the last one takes
precedence.
When I invoke WindowList with the mouse, one keystroke is enough.
If this isn't the way things are supposed to work, tell me and I'll
send a proper bug report. If it is, please tell me some way to work
around it; it's annoying!
Last, but definitely not least, thank you to those who've made Fvwm available!
