--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- Apply rules to clients at startup. -- -- @author Julien Danjou <julien@danjou.info> -- @copyright 2009 Julien Danjou -- @module awful.rules --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Grab environment we need local client = client local awesome = awesome local screen = screen local table = table local type = type local ipairs = ipairs local pairs = pairs local atag = require("awful.tag") local util = require("awful.util") local a_place = require("awful.placement") local protected_call = require("gears.protected_call") local 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 } } Alternatively, you can specify the tag by name: { rule = { instance = "firefox" }, properties = { tag = "3" } } If you want to put Thunderbird on a specific screen at startup, use: { rule = { instance = "Thunderbird" }, properties = { screen = 1 } } Assuming that your X11 server supports the RandR extension, you can also specify the screen by name: { rule = { instance = "Thunderbird" }, properties = { screen = "VGA1" } } 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.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, they are 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. If the value of a property is a function, that function gets called and function's return value is used for the property. 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 `rules.except` or `rules.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 = "1" } } { rule = {}, except_any = { class = { "Firefox", "Vim" } }, properties = { floating = true } } ]]-- rules.rules = {} --- Check if a client matches a rule. -- @client c The client. -- @tab rule The rule to check. -- @treturn bool True if it matches, false otherwise. function rules.match(c, rule) if not rule then return false end for field, value in pairs(rule) do if c[field] then if type(c[field]) == "string" then if not c[field]:match(value) and c[field] ~= value then return false end elseif c[field] ~= value then return false end else return false end end return true end --- Check if a client matches any part of a rule. -- @client c The client. -- @tab rule The rule to check. -- @treturn bool True if at least one rule is matched, false otherwise. function rules.match_any(c, rule) if not rule then return false end for field, values in pairs(rule) do if c[field] then for _, value in ipairs(values) do if c[field] == value then return true elseif type(c[field]) == "string" and c[field]:match(value) then return true end end end end return false end --- Does a given rule entry match a client? -- @client c The client. -- @tab entry Rule entry (with keys `rule`, `rule_any`, `except` and/or -- `except_any`). -- @treturn bool function rules.matches(c, entry) return (rules.match(c, entry.rule) or rules.match_any(c, entry.rule_any)) and (not rules.match(c, entry.except) and not rules.match_any(c, entry.except_any)) end --- Get list of matching rules for a client. -- @client c The client. -- @tab _rules The rules to check.
