Basic explanation
Each window is assigned to one or more tags. It is only visible when the tag is active. The tag bar in the top left shows the status of all tags
- Dark Blue: The tag is not active with no windows assigned to it
- Red: The tag is active with no windows assigned to it
- Green: The tag is active and has the currently active window assigned to it
- Blue: The tag is not active and has windows assigned to it
- Yellow: The tag is active and has windows assigned to it
Basic actions
You can activate a single tag by clicking its indicator or using Super + the corresponding number key. To move a window to another tag, use Super + Shift + Tag-number. To move a window to a tag and follow it there, use Super + Alt + Tag-number. You can also drag a tag indicator to another tag to move the selected window. Hold Alt when releasing to move the window and follow it to the destination. The same rule applies when dropping a floating or tiled window on a tag: without Alt it moves there while your current view stays put; with Alt it moves there and the destination tag becomes the active view. The modifier is read at release, so you can press or release Alt while dragging.
Activating multiple tags
Multiple tags can be toggled so all windows assigned to these tags become visible. The key binding to do this is super+ctrl+"Tag-number". Right clicking on the tag indicator achieves the same thing. Actions that focus on a single tag like following a window or clicking on the indicator will deactivate all additional tags.
