harveyhunt / cottage Goto Github PK

Cottage needs the ability to change howm's config (once howm has moved away from a config.h file). I am imagining a syntax such as the following:

cottage -c workspaces 5

Howm should return error codes (if any) such as it currently does with commands.

Such a big makefile isn't needed - it can be cut down considerably as cottage will never be bigger than a single source file.

Moving away from defining keybindings in howm's config.h has many benefits. Using cottage to tell howm which keys to bind will allow rebinding of keys at run time.

Cottage needs to make the keysym names more human readable (none of this XK_stuff).

I am imagining the following syntax:

cottage -k alt a some_func

makepkg -si
returns this error output. Using latest build (pulled from AUR using cower).

Testing howm inside of howm is currently impossible.

A commandline option needs to be added so that a different socket can be specified.

Shell completion is important for making cottage easier to use - no one wants to remember all of the function names.

I think that bash and zsh completion are imperative - support for more shells would be nice though.

Having to run cottage 3 times to execute an operation isn't very nice.

Instead have cottage recognise when the user wants to use an operator and provide an "alias" to that.

Cottage will still deliver 3 messages to howm, but the user doesn't need to know that.
