I was using i3. Now I want to see dwm. Made keybidings to run firefox on Modkey+w. It works well, but now when I want to do similar commands for nvim, ranger, cmus (all terminal programs) it isn't working. Can't run them from dmenu also. Is it ok, or I just fiddled with my config files?
static const Rule rules[] = {
/* xprop(1):
* WM_CLASS(STRING) = instance, class
* WM_NAME(STRING) = title
*/
/* class instance title tags mask isfloating monitor */
{ "Gimp", NULL, NULL, 0, 1, -1 },
{ "Firefox", NULL, NULL, 1 << 8, 0, -1 },
{ "nvim", NULL, NULL, 1 << 8, 0, -1 },
{ "ranger", NULL, NULL, 1 << 8, 0, -1 },
};
static const char *web[] = { "/usr/bin/firefox", NULL };
static const char *nvim[] = { "/usr/share/nvim", NULL };
static const char *ranger[] = { "/usr/bin/ranger", NULL };
{ MODKEY, XK_w, spawn, {.v = web } },
{ MODKEY, XK_r, spawn, {.v = ranger } },
{ MODKEY|ShiftMask, XK_v, spawn, {.v = nvim } },
Nvim and Ranger run in the terminal, so just running the binaries won't do anything. You'll need to run them in your terminal. How that works depends on your terminal, but it is likely something like your-terminal -e ranger, or static const char *ranger[] = {"xterm", "-e", "/usr/bin/ranger", NULL }; for example.
