Use it with a key binding like this: + + awful.key({ "Mod1" }, "Tab", function() + awful.menu.menu_keys.down = { "Down", "Alt_L", "Tab", "j" } + awful.menu.menu_keys.up = { "Up", "k" } + lain.util.menu_clients_current_tags({ width = 350 }, { keygrabber = true }) + end), + +magnify\_client +--------------- + +Set a client to floating and resize it in the same way the "magnifier" +layout does it. Place it on the "current" screen (derived from the mouse +position). This allows you to magnify any client you wish, regardless of +the currently used layout. Use it with a client keybinding like this: + + clientkeys = awful.util.table.join( + ... + awful.key({ modkey, "Control" }, "m", lain.util.magnify_client), + ... + ) + +If you want to "de-magnify" it, just reset the clients floating state to +`false` (hit `Mod4`+`CTRL`+`Space`, for example). + +niceborder\_{focus, unfocus} +---------------------------- + +By default, your `rc.lua` contains something like this: + + client.connect_signal("focus", function(c) c.border_color = beautiful.border_focus end) + client.connect_signal("unfocus", function(c) c.border_color = beautiful.border_normal end) + +You can change it to this: + + client.connect_signal("focus", lain.util.niceborder_focus(c)) + client.connect_signal("unfocus", lain.util.niceborder_unfocus(c)) + +Now, when a client is focused or unfocused, Awesome will look up its +nice value in `/proc//stat`. If it's less than 0, the client is +classified as "high priority"; if it's greater than 0, the client is +classified as "low priority". If it's equal to 0, nothing special +happens. + +This requires to define additional colors in your `theme.lua`. For example: + + theme.border_focus_highprio = "#FF0000" + theme.border_normal_highprio = "#A03333" + + theme.border_focus_lowprio = "#3333FF" + theme.border_normal_lowprio = "#333366" + +tag\_view\_nonempty +------------------- + +This function lets you jump to the next/previous non-empty tag. +It takes two arguments: + +* `direction`: `1` for next non-empty tag, `-1` for previous. +* `sc`: Screen which the taglist is in. Default is `mouse.screen` or `1`. This + argument is optional. + +You can use it with key bindings like these: + + -- Non-empty tag browsing + awful.key({ altkey }, "Left", function () lain.util.tag_view_nonempty(-1) end), + awful.key({ altkey }, "Right", function () lain.util.tag_view_nonempty(1) end), + +where `altkey = "Mod1"`. + +prompt\_rename\_tag +------------------- + +This function enables you to dynamically rename the current tag you have focused. + +You can use it with a key binding like this: + + awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "r", function () lain.util.prompt_rename_tag(mypromptbox) end) + +Credits goes to [minism](https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1315135#p1315135). \ No newline at end of file
