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.
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 = tags[1][1] }
}
{ rule = {},
except_any = { class = { "Firefox", "Vim" } },
properties = { floating = true }
}
