bspwm desktop manipulator

Some scripts I created while using bspwm, to help me manipulate the desktops on the fly. Took a while to function the way I wanted so I decided to share it.

What does it do?

Lets you Add, remove, rename and rearrange desktops with a press of a button

Requirments

• dmenu2-underline from archlinux aur- alternativly the default dmenu can be used by editing the scripts and removing the non-standard options
• Any panelling application such as bar-aint-recursive (see my dotfiles repo for my config)

Usage

1. git clone https://github.com/aishsingh/bspwm-desktop-manipulator.git in to a directory
2. Edit sxhkdrc vim ~/.config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc

for example add the following keybindings (replace <path-to-scripts> with your actual path)

super + r
	<path-to-scripts>/renamedesk
super + backslash
	<path-to-scripts>/adddesk
super + shift + backslash
	<path-to-scripts>/adddesk tmp
super + shift + bracket{left,right}
    bspc desktop -s {prev,next}

Lastly, Restart sxhkd to use the new bindings by restarting X

NOTE: These scripts have been made for bspwm but could be modified for other window managers
