[SOLVED] DWM Layout w/ 2 Columns in Master Area?

So far I've been using DWM with a text editor (vim or emacs depending on what I'm working on) in the master pane and a few terminals in the slave area for compiling/debugging/etc. Then I create a vertical split in the text editor so I effectively divide my workspace into 3 columns, 2 for text editing and one for terminals).
The problem with this setup is that I have one set of keyboard shortcuts to switch focus between the columns in my editor, and then I have the DWM shortcuts to switch between terminals. It'd be really nice if I could have two separate text editor instances laid out as columns in my master area so I could just use the native DWM commands to switch between everything.
I've tried the nmaster patch on suckless, but its ntile layout splits the master column into multiple rows rather than columns.
Does anyone else have a patch or layout that can achieve this behavior? I think this is a very useful layout for coders with widescreen monitors.

I'm getting nmaster from suckless:
http://dwm.suckless.org/patches/nmaster
Mod+{a,z,x} would increase/decrease/set the number of windows in the master area. The problem is the ntile layout, which tiles slave windows off to the side (which I want), splits the master pane horizontally (which I don't want) when you increase the number of master windows. Alternatively, the nbstack layout splits the master pane vertically (which I want), but then it tiles the slave windows at the bottom of the screen (which I don't want).
Is there a layout that both splits the master area vertically and tiles slave windows at the side? I could try patching it myself but I haven't had time to dive into the dwm source code yet

Splitapp navigation in master area between master1 to master2    ?

Hi all,
I am just exploring the "SPLITAPP" using the below link
https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/sdk/docs/guide/SplitApp.html
Here I created all the views in a MVC style(please see the "structure" screen shot) ,and copied the code from app.contoller.js from the standard "splitapp".
Things are cool but when I click on master1page master2 page is placing on detail page.
As expected Master2 has to replace Master1 in Master area, but it is placing on detail page area..how can I sort this.Below are the code of my master1 & master2 ..please help me to identify the issue
Master1.view.js
sap.ui.jsview("split_practice.master.master1", {
createContent : function(oController) {
oEventBus = sap.ui.getCore().getEventBus();
var oMasterPage1 = new sap.m.Page("master1",{
    title : "Master",
    content : [ new sap.m.List({
items : [ new sap.m.StandardListItem({

type : "Navigation",
press : function() {
oEventBus.publish("nav","to",

return oMasterPage1;

Unable to set columns under Layout Margins and Columns

On certain pages in my 40 page document, I am unable to set the number of columns by using Layout>Margins and Columns. The columns option is dimmed out. I have tried to set them on a blank page and pages where columns were previously set (I can see the guides). I am using a single Master for page numbering and it is applied to every page in the document. There are pages where I can set the columns. I've done some page comparison and can't find the setting that might control this. Using InDesign CS6 on Windows. Thank you.

Why are you not using multiple column text frames instead of 2 text frames with columns on the master page? This would give more flexiblity.

Placing Summary column in master data block

I have a master/detail datablock form. i want to show the sum of "amount" field that is present in detail datablock and this summar field must be placed in master data block but it does not compile the form and shows following error.
FRM-30377: Summary item must reside in single-record block or in same block as summarized item.
Item: S
Block: PBL_PAYMENT_MASTER
FRM-30085: Unable to adjust form for output.
it works only by putting it in the same detail block with "Query All Records" to YES.
But I want to place this summary column in master data block but then it is not working.
How we can solve this problem.

Hi,
In this case:
-- i put my summary column in the master data block with :Query_All_RECORDS set to yes
--but Physically it is placed on detailed block on the canvas
and it Works with this trick.
Regards,
Abdetu.

ber_t wrote:A vanilla dwm compiles fine with your config.h. So I guess you're using other patches that rearrange the #include directive for config.h in dwm.c, e.g. pertag. If that's the case, you have to put the moveresize function in dwm.c and declare it before config.h get's included, just like any other function in dwm.c.
Yes I had dwm.c patched with pertag. Vanilla compiles fine. Thanks!

[Solved] DWM and extra key's.

Hello.
I'm using DWM and now I have new keyboard with extra kyes Audio Mute, Raise or Lower volume you know
I tried:
showkey
And I have my key in .Xmodmap , I typed:
/path/to/.Xmodmap
and all was ok
And typed xmodmap and my keys was in mod4 section , this is the output of xmodmap:
xmodmap: up to 4 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Meta_L (0x9c)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4 XF86AudioRaiseVolume (0x73), XF86AudioRaiseVolume (0x74), Super_L (0x7f), Hyper_L (0x80)
mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x71), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c)
Now I care to play with config.h of my DWM.
Here is part of it:
{ MODKEY, XF86AudioRaiseVolume, spawn, SHCMD("exec mpc volume -5")}
And when I tried to compile it with that config I got following errors:
In file included from dwm.c:271:

config.h:65: warning: ISO C does not allow extra ';' outside of a function

And building stop's :(
Is someone use extra keys with DWM.
Thanks for any help

[SOLVED] dwm react strangely - azerty keycodes error

Hi,
I'm trying dwm after some time on Spectrwm, but i'm facing a strange behaviour it is impossible at all to switch to n tag with ModKey + n or put client to desired tag.
Also dmenu wont spawn with ModKey + p. It spawn perfectly with "$: dmenu_run" in a terminal but not with dwm shortcut.
Other things seems to works fine.
is anyone already had the same behaviour ?
here is my config.h the only things that have changed from the config.def.h template is the termcmd (st replaced with terminology) and the modkey which I have change from "Alt" to "WindowsKey"

It was in fact the 6.0.1 so I presum this the 6.0 version.
I have try to recompile with and without modification in config.h switching tags or sending clien to specified tag still not working.
Also I have try with
#define MODKEY Mod4
but it wont compile.
All others keybiding works well like toggling the status bar with ModKey4 + b, increase client size, switching layout...but not the dmenu and tags functions.
I have try on my laptop and on my workstation and it does the same behaviour so it should be an error from me

[Solved] DWM with w0ng' config

Hi everyone,
Im using dwm on archlinux, and i try to install w0ng' config. But it is not working, i cant press anykey, i try shift+alt+q, shift+alt+p, alt+1, alt+2..... my screen no change, i must switch to tty2 and recompile dwm to default.
I upload 4 images for more details. This is top-left and top-right of my screen:

I installed font terminus2 and xbmicons:
fc-list | grep termi
/usr/share/fonts/local/terminus2.bdf: Terminus2:style=Regular
/root/.fonts/terminus2.bdf: Terminus2:style=Regular
fc-list | grep xb
/root/.fonts/xbmicons.pcf: xbmicons:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/local/xbmicons.pcf: xbmicons:style=Regular
and here is how do i do:
cd /home/user/Download/dwm-master/
cp PKGBUILD /root/dwm/
cp 0* config.h bstack.c gaplessgrid.c push.c /root/dwm/src/
cd /root/dwm/
makepkg -efi
Tks for reading.

now, I can switch tiling to monocle and monocle to tiling.
but windows appears as floating or not tiling in tiling mod.
Last edited by mshan (2015-03-09 06:16:31)

Yes, I can switch, this means I can hit Alt+space or click on layout symbols:
[ ]=
and
[2]
the symbols toggle.
but windows don't change their layout from tiling to monocle or monocle to tiling.
they just open as floating. For example: my Lxterminal appears as in openbox except window title bar.
sorry for my english.

[SOLVED] dwm manager taskbar font howto

I'm trying to make my default dwm taskbar font bigger. After I installed dwm the default taskbar font looks small for me. How can I make it bigger?
I tried editing config.h file and edited default font to:
static const char font[] = "*-*-fixed-medium-r-normal--*-110-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1";
just the way it was set in my other distro.
But still no result, same small font.
Does anybody have a good font in mind, that will look good, like the one from terminus pack. I don't know the names of good fonts and googling doesn't give any good alternatives.
Maybe somebody has already have something in mind?
1. why does my dwm font do not change, even when I edit config.h, compile and install (makepkg -efi)?
2. could you provide any good font alternatives?
ps. also this default dwm font does not understand cyrillic or any other language, so when I try "Mod+p" in ru layout it screws my typing.

no, that doesn't work.
ls Public/dwmls Public/dwm_sync/dwm/_sync/dwm/
config.h dwm-5.8.2.tar.gz dwm.install PKGBUILD
dwm-5.8.2-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz dwm.desktop pkg src
1. What I did is, edited config.h line to:
static const char font[] = "-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-17-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*";
2.makepkg -efi
3.reboot
Result: nothing changed in taskbar

Difficult to achive the report layout with dynamic column names

I have a report layout as below.
So here the column names are dynamic.And each fixed row group has different calculations. I have a date parameter. If I select July 2013, then I need to show data from July 2012 to July 2013 with Columns(Jul-12, Aug-12...Jul-13). How to achive below layout
with dynamic columns?

Hi Sarayu_CM,
According to your description, you want to filter the records of prior year based on only one parameter selection. Right?
In this scenario, we can create two parameters. The first one is for user to select. The second parameter is based on the first parameter selection. We don't need to specify Available Values for the second parameter, but we should use expression to specify
Default Values based on the first parameter selection. Use the expression below:
=DateAdd("m",-12,FormatDateTime(Parameters!param1.Value))
Then we just need to apply a filter on the matrix/dataset to get the records which the date is between values in these two parameters.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou

How to set unequal columns using master pages in InDesign CS3?

How to set unequal columns using master pages in InDesign CS3?

I don't have CS3 anymore but I don't think this has substantially changed in the last few versions of InDesign.
Choose View > Grids & Guides > uncheck Lock Column Guides. Then drag the column guides to the position you want.

Need help with Fluid Grid Layout and variable column balance.

I'm using the fluid grid layout. I have multiple columns that are actually fluid grid layout columns done by Dreamweaver. I'd like them to extend as high as each other (all to the maximum height of each other) within the same section. An added catch is that in the desktop layout, I have three side by side under one that takes the whole width of the page. On tablet size, it's 2x2 in a square grid. On mobile, they're vertically stacked. I'm trying to get it so that background colour and/or borders looks decent and is fully balanced, no matter which layout is hit with the fluid layout. The columns reflow, no problem. But the height of any background and/or border is variable.
Any help on fixing this?
Example at: https://music2help.thoughtburst.net/
The example doesn't have borders or colours, as it looked silly unbalanced. The music2help.css is the only one I'm modifying manually.
Love the fluid grid layout, but I need a way to make it behave decently with backgrounds/borders. Any help would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks!

I tried the solution Nancy posted. It altered things, but doesn't seem to do the trick.
Just some quick background. I did HTML from 1994 through about five years ago by hand in vi on *nix systems. I learned HTML through 4.01, and never bothered with XHTML at all. I learned CSS through most of CSS2. The CSS3 and HTML5 stuff is all new to me, but it can't be that hard. I'm not exactly a novice in JS (I've done a fair bit of AJAX programming), but it's not even close to my primary language (I'm a Perl guy).
I'm "stuck on" wanting to use Fluid Grid Layouts. It's billed as one of the selling points of DW CS6, and I really like the concept and results. I just want the results embellished a little, namely with sensible identical heights on grid containers set in the same row, so that you can apply background colours, dropshadows, and borders. That's really all I want to do that it doesn't already do.
I have a test page at: http://music2help.thoughtburst.net/ that you can try with your Quick Columns. I'd be interested to know if you can get it to work.
Here's the catch, though... Resize the browser, shrinking it inwards. (I suggest Firefox, as Chrome only shrinks so far, and you won't get to Mobile width.) As you can see, on a Tablet, one of the columns that should be equal height actually moves up a row and should be equal height with the row that, on a desktop, would take the entire width of the page area. So that's like a 4-up output in printing terms. At Mobile size, the entire thing is vertical, so none of the columns should be resized.
If your product works and can accomodate these conditions, I think I would be interested in spending the $35 it costs.
Let me know? Thanks!
EDIT: Changed URL to be non-SSL. The server has multiple vhosts on it, and I keep forgetting that I don't have a cert on this new one. Sorry about that. You can just add anything to one of the the three middle columns, if you're pulling it down to test.

I have no master area? What am I doing wrong?

Windows stack on top of each other and there's no master area. I'm having trouble googling this.
I've only started using dwm last night and I like it. Alt+h or Alt+l doesn't seem to change anything.
