bspscratchpad

 

A simple script to provide i3-like scratchpad functionality for bspwm.

Installation and Usage

Put the script in your $PATH. Main functions:

1. Put focused window into scratchpad or remove it from scratchpad:

bspscratchpad --toggle

2. Cycle through the windows in scratchpad:

bspscratchpad --cycle

These commands are meant to be executed with the help of a hot-key daemon, for instance, sxhkd, xbindkeysrc, etc. I have the following lines in my sxhkdrc:

mod1 + shift + w
    bspscratchpad --toggle

mod1 + w 
    bspscratchpad --cycle
