It is named functionalgaps because, since gaps are purely aesthetic, and therefore not useful whatsoever, this patch adds to their functionality by allowing them to easily be turned off. +This patch is also unique because of its out of the box integration with pertag, allowing gaps to be enabled/disabled and sized on a per-tag basis. +home: http://dwm.suckless.org/patches/functionalgaps/ +direct link: http://dwm.suckless.org/patches/functionalgaps/dwm-functionalgaps+pertag-6.2.diff +(this version comes with support for pertag, + the patch itself for simplicity's sake) + +** movestack +chose push up/down as it has a more recent patch +*** Description +This plugin allows you to move clients around in the stack and swap them with the master.
