[Notion-general] Display workspace number

[Wojciech A. <ani...@co...>]

Hi there.
Is there any way to display workspace number?
I'm using a custom made dzen status bar, I'd like to see the number there.
Can this be done?

Hi Wojciech,

Thanks for your question. I'm not exactly sure what you'd like to see
though.

To for example get the list of workspace names, you could write a
notionflux script like this:

echo "result = ''; notioncore.region_i(function (r) result = result ..
WRegion.name(r) .. '|'; return true end, 'WGroupWS'); return result" |
notionflux

Which would return your workspace names (including the 'scratch' workspace)
separated by pipes. That might be a starting point to get what you're
looking for?


Kind regards,

Arnout

Well, yes it could, it works nicely. However, I don't know the proper lua to produce not
only the list of currently existing workspaces, but the one being displayed right now.
So, for the moment, when I call the script, notionflux returns:

"*scratchws*|WGroupWS|WGroupWS<1>|WGroupWS<2>|WGroupWS<4>|duh|"

meaning I have 5 workspaces + scratch. What I would like, is for notionflux to write something like:

25 "*scratchws*|WGroupWS-foo|WGroupWS<1>|WGroupWS<2>|WGroupWS<4>|duh|"

while I'm displaying 'WGroupWS' but

25 "*scratchws*|WGroupWS|WGroupWS<1>|WGroupWS<2>|WGroupWS<4>|duh-foo|"

while I diplaying (switching to) workspace 'duh'.

Let's be more specific and add that "displaying" something means (I'm on singlehead display) that my focus is there, as in I'm typing to a terminal that's there:)

To ilustrate even further, check out this guy's Awesome WM screenshot:
http://img05.deviantart.net/1f6a/i/2011/242/2/a/tronminull_theme_in_awesome_wm_by_xenull-d48da2a.png

In fact, my notion setup looks quite similar, except it's more greenish:) So in the top-left corner, you can see he has and indicator (four squares) of which workspace he's currently on. Voila c'est ca...

Hello Wojciech,

WRegion.is_active might come in handy. For example:

% echo "result = ''; notioncore.region_i(function (r) result = result ..
WRegion.name(r) .. ';' .. tostring(WRegion.is_active(r, true)) .. '|';
return true end, 'WGroupWS'); return result" |
mod_notionflux/notionflux/notionflux
"*scratchws*<4>;false|WGroupWS;true|WGroupWS<1>;false|WGroupWS<3>;false|"

.. when I was on the workspace named 'WGroupWS'. Does that help?

Re: [Notion-general] Display workspace number

Just as a late comment, I just spent one day using Awesome WM.
[My Notion Git snapshot got fried
by lua version confusion (5.1? 5.2?) and I needed a fallback WM.]
So, Awesome has the exact workspace numbers set  (left upper corner) I was thinking about. I will not post
screenshots, as it is  easy to check out. It is an useful feature. 
Now, back and comfty in Notion:)
