Development Continues: Patch of the Evening #

For quite a while, there is a lot going on at our fluxbox-devel mailing list.
In a secret can tell ya, ppl are submitting patches like crazy… damn, how sweet :>
Some of them, got into v0.1.8 already, some are in current CVS, and some didn’t make it yet. You’d better take a look for yourself, cause you could loose a good chance to try some new, really kewl features, like (some of my fav):

• move tabs, etc
  "Ok, after a suggestion from Rando, I renamed the functions in my patch to be a little more generic and not so horizontal-tabs specific (MoveTabPrev, MoveTabNext instead of MoveTabRight and MoveTabLeft). For those that don't remember, these two binds allow you to swap the focused tab with either the previous or next tab in the list, allowing you to move the tabs around in the list without touching the mouse."

  <i>
  "RootMenu' key binding is very useful, but I want to do all menu
  operation with keyboard. I have a try to implement this feature.
  With the patch at the end, you can use following bindings in your keys file (...)"

  <i>
  "This patch addresses the unpredictability of slit dockapp ordering.
  It stores the current order of dockapps in a file,
  default=~/.fluxbox/slitlist.  When loading dockapps into the slit it
  attempts to maintain the previous ordering, matching with
  previously-run dockapps by name."
