Awesome Window Rules Make Your Life More Awesome

[@CyberBoy8799]

That is absolutely the best wallpaper I have ever seen.

[@nekoill]

The fact that I can barely see Kenny from the Mental Outlaw fame upsets me a lot though. That dude is the best Linux related channel I've seen out there, his meme game is objectively the best out of all the TuxTubers, and he also makes amazing cooking and lifestyle videos. He has THE best Arch installation guide here despite using Gentoo as well. Also, no Ermanno Ferrari at all, which is also quite upsetting, because he's a really great guy, too.

Perfectly on point with my Void+AwesomeWM VM that I am experimenting with

[@BrockCochran1]

You can also add rules to an instance of awful.spawn, for example: awful.spawn("command", { floating = true, tag = 1}) However, in my experience this does not work with awful.spawn.with_shell, in which case a Bash script can be created to then run awful.spawn. Also, the command being run must have its own unique pid. Otherwise, it will just default to what is in awful.rules.rules for that application. Nice work on this video.

[@TechTekker]

Yes! More awesomewm content please :)

I forgot that I even made this video, this has been sitting in my upload folder for a month

Hey Brodie could you please make a playlist of all your AwesomeWM videos? It'd be nice to have them in one place.

[@BrodieRobertson]

Fixed

Thank you, Brodie.

Thanks Brodie I understand rules much better now.

[@BrodieRobertson]

I'd love to but KZbindl is a liability right now, I don't know if youtube will strike the video

[@someoneyouveneverheardof]

Holy! The wallpaper is awesome!

[@xllvr]

I’m only starting on Awesome when you finally make a video making the bar less ugly

[@maxarendorff6521]

I'd love to see more AwesomeWM content.

[@BrodieRobertson]

I'd love to do more as well

Nice

[@arvindersingh9863]

How to make the first window opens as the main window and all others in stack layout in awesome wm?

[@Cookiekeks]

Can you do a video on how to setup the top bar/wibox?

[@BrodieRobertson]

I plan too I just haven't really customized it much at this point

[@zenithium2585]

you should do a video on the recent freenode drama

[@BrodieRobertson]

I'm not involved with Freenode at all, it'd be weird for me to start digging into their drama

Correction, that's not what * means in regex ;)

[@BrodieRobertson]

What did I say that was wrong?

[@nafg613]

@@BrodieRobertson hey no offense, I've been enjoying your videos. IIRC when you said the empty rule acts as a wildcard you said like star in regex but you probably meant star in globs (like in a shell). In regex star means "apply the last matcher 0 or more times." Dot matches any character so together .* is similar to * in a glob because together it means 0 or more occurrences of any character.

Please don't do that. I thought you said "awesome Windows rules"... I thought you'd gone to the Darkside for the moment.

with 4 comments and one already addressing it I think it is safe to assume: Everybody did :-)
