Would it be possible for you to provide the delay time from when you press the button to when the windows all tile and stop moving?
Wow!
x11-wm/skippy-xd works well with fluxbox and helps improve my workflow -- indirect action controls like taskbars and pulldown menus (invented for the original Macintosh computer when the entire operating system and gui toolbox had to fit in 128K of ROM and cpu cycles were very precious) are not needed anymore. They were a necessity at the time but direct manipulation of "objects", such as directly seeing and manipulating windows with
skippy, has been feasible for a long time now and I agree that the workflow with window managers is improved. Glad the OP asked his question!
Thanks to
Lanakus for sharing a config file for skippy-xd -- I've tested with fluxbox and with cwm, but changed to
. Like other commenters I know what to expect on each workspace, but tend to get many windows open on each workspace and it's nice to have a fast way to see them all and directly select/minimize/close them. Windows on "other" desktops, "unmapped" windows, do not show any content but only their frames in the skippy overview in my tested window managers, so including all workspaces' windows in the overview may not be useful.
To answer the delay time question: with six maximized firefox windows, an xterm, and mpv playing a lecture on The Fall of the Roman Empire, and skippy tied to fluxbox shortcut
Meta-w, the eight windows were completely tiled and drawn (seemingly) by the time I had released the "
w" key (and the lecture still proceeding in its small window and firefox windows still updating). Estimate 300 or 400 ms. I could quickly navigate the windows by arrow keys with the mouse "instantly" pointing at the selected window and the full window title shown as a tooltip below the pointer.
