Novice Questions about clfswm Usage

[Andrea De Michele]

I am not an expert, anyway "my" -- stolen from some web resources --
solutions are:

1) for switch the main modifier form Alt to left win
key. I take a note that the following code must be at the end of the
configuration file, but I don't known why and if it is really necessary:

(defun change-alt-modifier ()
  (binding-substitute-modifier :mod-4 :mod-1))

(add-hook *binding-hook* 'change-alt-modifier)



2) stumpwm like run-or-raise:

in src/clfswm-util.lisp there is the function run-or-raise.
I use it like the configuration file example ./doc/dot-clfswmrc for example for emacs:

(defun $start-emacs ()
 "Run or raise emacs"
 (setf *second-mode-leave-function*
       (lambda ()
         (run-or-raise (lambda (win) (string-equal "emacs"
						    (xlib:get-wm-class win)))
                       (lambda () (do-shell "cd $HOME && exec emacsclient -c")))))
 (leave-second-mode))


and then add a binding to the new function:

(defun binding-example ()
 (define-second-key ("e") '$start-emacs))

(add-hook *binding-hook* 'binding-example)
