Dang Son! Good to see you back out & socializing your channel. You definitely made some improvements to your studio/storage room. Awesome Mike! You seem happy. I sure want to ask but not here. Maybe fill me in on, well, you know what. As usual great work on the scripting to make things work the way you want/need. Peace Brother.

Long time but not current spectrwm user, after using dusk for several months I have really gotten used to multiple scratchpads. This video was most helpful to get the basic functionality into spectrwm. Thanks!

Damn... Your becoming the SpectrWm go to guy! Awesome stuff. I have not tried scratchpads In Leftwm either as there are supported and like you I thought, meh... Thanks for the LD seal of Approval... I needed the laugh after yesterday. My home place burnt down but my sister got out ok. It was a sham to loose where you were born and raised. Awe well it is just stuff I guess... Later! LLAP 🖖

Hi Bruce! Sorry to hear about your home place burning. That's awful man. Glad you and your sister are ok.

[@Bruces-Eclectic-World]

@@linuxdabbler Thank You! Well manage... 🙂

That's terrible Bruce. I'm glad everyone is okay, but still it sounds like a nightmare.

[@Bruces-Eclectic-World]

@@lqlarry Thank You! Yes it sucks but will be ok in time. Right now were still numb... LLAP

I use xdotool in Spectrwm so that if I open a program that I use all the time, like Firefox, then in the config file I have Firefox set to open on WS3 and then I run a script to open Firefox and then switch the focus to WS3. I tried tdrop to open scratchpads but I didn't create a quirk. I'll have to try that. I do like Jake's channel. He's a good teacher but he doesn't speak southern.

Hi @LqLarry. I'm surprised Jake's channel passed under my radar for so long. I agree he's a good teacher even though he doesn't speak southern... Nobody's perfect. Lol
