# Charitable
Shared tags library for multiple monitors using AwesomeWM.
Sourced from https://github.com/frioux/charitable
## Usage
```lua
local charitable = require("charitable")
-- Create tags and taglist
local taglist_buttons = gears.table.join(
awful.button({ }, 1, function(t) charitable.select_tag(t, awful.screen.focused()) end),
awful.button({ }, 3, function(t) charitable.toggle_tag(t, awful.screen.focused()) end)
)
local tags = charitable.create_tags(
{ "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9" },
{
awful.layout.layouts[1],
awful.layout.layouts[1],
awful.layout.layouts[1],
awful.layout.layouts[1],
awful.layout.layouts[1],
awful.layout.layouts[1],
awful.layout.layouts[1],
awful.layout.layouts[1],
awful.layout.layouts[1],
}
)
awful.screen.connect_for_each_screen(function(s)
-- Show an unselected tag when a screen is connected
for i = 1, #tags do
if not tags[i].selected then
tags[i].screen = s
tags[i]:view_only()
break
end
end
s.mytaglist = awful.widget.taglist({
screen = s,
filter = awful.widget.taglist.filter.all,
buttons = taglist_buttons,
source = function(screen, args) return tags end,
})
-- ...
end
-- Keys setup
for i = 1, 9 do
globalkeys = gears.table.join(globalkeys,
-- View tag only.
awful.key({ modkey }, "#" .. i + 9,
function () charitable.select_tag(tags[i], awful.screen.focused()) end,
{description = "view tag #"..i, group = "tag"}),
-- Toggle tag display.
awful.key({ modkey, "Control" }, "#" .. i + 9,
function () charitable.toggle_tag(tags[i], awful.screen.focused()) end,
{description = "toggle tag #" .. i, group = "tag"}),
-- Move client to tag.
awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "#" .. i + 9,
function ()
if client.focus then
local tag = tags[i]
if tag then
client.focus:move_to_tag(tag)
end
end
end,
{description = "move focused client to tag #"..i, group = "tag"}),
-- Toggle tag on focused client.
awful.key({ modkey, "Control", "Shift" }, "#" .. i + 9,
function ()
if client.focus then
local tag = tags[i]
if tag then
client.focus:toggle_tag(tag)
end
end
end,
{description = "toggle focused client on tag #" .. i, group = "tag"})
)
end
-- ensure that removing screens doesn't kill tags
tag.connect_signal("request::screen", function(t)
t.selected = false
for s in screen do
if s ~= t.screen then
t.screen = s
return
end
end
end)
-- work around bugs in awesome 4.0 through 4.3+
-- see https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/2780
awful.tag.history.restore = function() end
```
## Description
Typical AwesomeWM configuration implies that tags are per screen. This library
allows AwesomeWM to instead have tags that are shared across all connected
screens. This is how XMonad works by default.
## Quick Reference
* `charitable.create_tags` replaces [`awful.tag.new`](https://awesomewm.org/doc/api/classes/tag.html#awful.tag.new)
* `charitable.select_tag` replaces [`t:view_only()`](https://awesomewm.org/doc/api/classes/tag.html#tag:view_only)
* `charitable.toggle_tag` replaces [`awful.tag.viewtoggle`](https://awesomewm.org/doc/api/classes/tag.html#awful.tag.viewtoggle)
* `charitable.tag_move` is new
* `charitable.swap_screen` is new
## History
This was [originally](https://github.com/lammermann) implemented by Benjamin
Kober, and later [forked and updated](https://github.com/XLegion/sharetags) by
Alexey Solodkiy. This version has been updated to support AwesomeWM 4.x, and
have a better name.
