Jumping desktop focus. about pidswallow HOT 8 CLOSED

• not using -f in bspwm hide cmd. (This doesn't focus parent but no jumping around).

Actually that's exactly what I did in a451448 haha

from pidswallow.

bspwm specific instruction is not working, i think it's a lot of work to maintain that, IMO we should drop that, using windowmap the window get dynamically placed (better) user can specify the placement of the window using.

bspc node -p {west,south,north,east}

from pidswallow.

This is sort of fixed but the window is getting resized improperly after vomit, And the toggle window is not resizing to account for others. (Using BSPWM specific recommendations).

The only thing that is sub optimal is preglue_hook. I can live without that, Everything else is working much better without BSPWM recommendation.

What about checking for the current desktop before moving?

I'm not sure I understand heh

Personally I don't like this approach. My idea of swallowing is that windows should occupy the exact same place as the child that swallowed them.
A plus would be that the parent (swallowed) window regains focus (only) if the child was focused when it was closed. Not sure how to implement this though

from pidswallow.

It is doing that except for the window state, and for doing just this a loooot of thing had to be coincided. (With bspwn specific recommendation). Call me crazy but I think it will be really hard to maintain,

What I suggest:
* Drop SWALLOW_CMD , VOMIT_CMD , PREGLUE_HOOK
