[Solved] DWM Cycle Between Layouts

Question

Is there a DWM patch to let modkey+space cycle between layouts like in XMonad and Awesome?  I saw the thread here that suggests using cycle.c: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 18#p761018
However, cycle.c allows cycling across tags rather than layouts.  Does anyone else know how to enable this functionality?

Answer 1

sorry to bump this thread, but i too want the same behaviour as choogi, but can't seem to get bob127's suggestion to work.
do i need to add this to dwm.c ?
void
nextlayout(const Arg *arg) {
Layout *l;
for (l=(Layout *)layouts;l != selmon->lt[selmon->sellt];l++);
if (l->symbol && (l + 1)->symbol)
setlayout(&((Arg) { .v = (l + 1) }));
else
setlayout(&((Arg) { .v = layouts }));
void
prevlayout(const Arg *arg) {
Layout *l;
for (l=(Layout *)layouts;l != selmon->lt[selmon->sellt];l++);
if (l != layouts && (l - 1)->symbol)
setlayout(&((Arg) { .v = (l - 1) }));
else
setlayout(&((Arg) { .v = &layouts[LENGTH(layouts) - 2] }));
and i didn't understand about this, either:
{ .symbol = NULL, .arrange = NULL },
sorry, i am new to c.
EDIT: so i just looked at bob127's configs at his website, and added the code accordingly to my configs, and now cyclelayouts works great.
Thanks bob, for the patch.
