Code snippets for the Python wmiirc

To use these code snippets, simply add them to a file called wmiirc_local.py somewhere in your $WMII_CONFPATH (usually ~/.wmii). Alternatively, you can add them to any file whose name ends in .py under ~/.wmii/plugins/

Automatically enter and leave pass-through mode for a specific tag

I use this for testing wmii under Xephyr or Xembed, but it’s also for VNC and NX sessions. This specific configuration adds a key binding M-x which will switch to and from the ‘x’ tag. When the ‘x’ tag is active, all key bindings other than M-x will be disabled, and will pass through to the active application.

tags.ignore.add('x')
keys.bind('main',   { '%(mod)s-x': lambda k: tags.select('x') })
keys.bind('xembed', { '%(mod)s-x': lambda k: tags.select(tags.PREV) })
bind_events({
    Match('FocusTag', 'x'):   lambda *a: setattr(keys, 'mode', 'xembed'),
    Match('UnfocusTag', 'x'): lambda *a: setattr(keys, 'mode', 'main'),
})
