--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- @author Julien Danjou <julien@danjou.info> -- @copyright 2009 Julien Danjou -- @release @AWESOME_VERSION@ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Grab environment we need local client = client local table = table local type = type local ipairs = ipairs local pairs = pairs local aclient = require("awful.client") local atag = require("awful.tag") --- Apply rules to clients at startup. module("awful.rules") --- This is the global rules table. --

You should fill this table with your rule and properties to apply. -- For example, if you want to set xterm maximized at startup, you can add: --
-- -- { rule = { class = "xterm" }, -- properties = { maximized_vertical = true, maximized_horizontal = true } } -- --

--

If you want to set mplayer floating at startup, you can add: --
-- -- { rule = { name = "MPlayer" }, -- properties = { floating = true } } -- --

--

If you want to put Firefox on a specific tag at startup, you -- can add: --
-- -- { rule = { instance = "firefox" }, -- properties = { tag = mytagobject } } -- --

--

If you want to put Emacs on a specific tag at startup, and -- immediately switch to that tag you can add: --
-- -- { rule = { class = "Emacs" }, -- properties = { tag = mytagobject, switchtotag = true } } -- --

--

If you want to apply a custom callback to execute when a rule matched, -- for example to pause playing music from mpd when you start dosbox, you -- can add: --
-- -- { rule = { class = "dosbox" }, -- callback = function(c) -- awful.util.spawn('mpc pause') -- end } -- --

--

Note that all "rule" entries need to match. If any of the entry does not -- match, the rule won't be applied.

--

If a client matches multiple rules, their applied in the order they are -- put in this global rules table. If the value of a rule is a string, then the -- match function is used to determine if the client matches the rule.

-- --

To match multiple clients to a rule one need to use slightly different -- syntax: --
-- -- { rule_any = { class = { "MPlayer", "Nitrogen" }, instance = { "xterm" } }, -- properties = { floating = true } } -- --

-- --

To match multiple clients with an exception one can couple 'except' or -- 'except_any' with the rules: --
-- -- { rule = { class = "Firefox" }, -- except = { instance = "Navigator" }, -- properties = {floating = true}, -- }, -- --
-- -- { rule_any = { class = { "Pidgin", "Xchat" } }, -- except_any = { role = { "conversation" } }, -- properties = { tag = tags[1][1] } -- } --
-- -- { rule = {}, -- except_any = { class = { "Firefox", "Vim" } }, -- properties = { floating = true } -- } -- --
