Configuration

Configuration for sara is a combination of elements similar to dwm (edit config.h and recompile) and bspwm (edit sxhkdrc):

Editing Rules in config.h

1. In config.h, define:
   • The class of the rule (the name of the program executable)
   • The instance (not sure under what conditions this wouldn't be NULL, as that seems to do the job)
   • The title (say, from st -t "sometitle")
   • The tags mask (internally, desks) that you want to send the program to. 0 means whatever's currently selected, 1 << 8 sends something to desktop 9, etc. Some bitwise magic.
   • The isfloat value, whether the client spawns floating or not.
   • The isfull value, whether the client spawns fullscreened or not.
   • The monitor that you want the client to appear on. -1 means the currently focused one.
2. Once you are done, recompile with sudo make install clean.
3. Restart sara, and your rules should be in effect!

Editing Keybindings in sxhkdrc

1. Copy examples/sxhkdrc to .config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc or your relevant config directory if you didn't do so during installation.
