2bwm help needed - aah - 15-10-2016
Hi all, just joined recently.
been trying out 2bwm (in past used bspwm i3 dwm etc)
Docs are very scarce but figured a few things out myself.
However, how can I get an app to start on a certain workspace?
either some rule I can set somewhere in a config file or do it from a keybinding. I use sxhkd for my keybindings.

You can't directly from the wm itself.
You'll have to use a third party tool that spawns the window the moves it to the appropriate workspace.

Thought that would be it, starting an app with a keybinding is easy but what command to send it to a workspace, not sure abt that yet.

Take a look at `wmctrl` and `xdotool` commands or the wmutils project.

lol, I am sometimes a bi brain challenged, of course it's easy, just start the app and then send the keys needed to put it on a certain workspace.
