Personally, I have had a lot of trouble. But I hear from others that it is a very good experience, so it depends on the person. I started using OpenBSD, because I thought it sounded like an interesting endeavour, and I’ve never bothered to switch away.

First of all, I posted my dots.

  • I use Alt + NUM to view a tag
  • I use Ctrl + NUM to send a client to the tag
  • I use 1-0 for tags 1-10
  • I use Shift + 1-0 to switch to 11-20

Here is the relivent config snippet:

---- Number Bindings ----



--- Tags 1-10 ---

for i = 1, 10 do
    local workspace_number = i
    local key = tostring(i + 9)

--  Move focused client to tag 1-10
    globalkeys = gears.table.join(globalkeys,
        awful.key({ "Control" }, "#" .. key,
            function ()
                if client.focus then
                    local tag = client.focus.screen.tags[workspace_number]
                    if tag then
                        client.focus:move_to_tag(tag)
                    end
                end
            end,
            {description = "move focused client to tag #"..workspace_number, group = "tag"})
    )

-- View tag 1-10
    globalkeys = gears.table.join(globalkeys,
        awful.key({ modkey }, "#" .. key,
            function ()
                local screen = awful.screen.focused()
                local tag = screen.tags[workspace_number]
                if tag then
                    tag:view_only()
                end
            end,
            {description = "view tag #"..workspace_number, group = "tag"})
    )
end



--- Tags 11-20 ---

for i = 11, 20 do
    local workspace_number = i
    local key = tostring(i - 1)

--  Move focused client to tag 11-20 
    globalkeys = gears.table.join(globalkeys,
        awful.key({ "Control", "Shift" }, "#" .. key,
            function ()
                if client.focus then
                    local tag = client.focus.screen.tags[workspace_number]
                    if tag then
                        client.focus:move_to_tag(tag)
                    end
                end
            end,
            {description = "move focused client to tag #"..workspace_number, group = "tag"})
    )

-- View tag 11-20
    globalkeys = gears.table.join(globalkeys,
        awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "#" .. key,
            function ()
                local screen = awful.screen.focused()
                local tag = screen.tags[workspace_number]
                if tag then
                    tag:view_only()
                end
            end,
            {description = "view tag #"..workspace_number, group = "tag"})
    )
end

Lol. Too bad the Gentoo Wiki is the best wiki in existence (and its not even close).

Edit: Oh no, its a joke!

Edit 2: Oh wait a minute… This is my OpenBSD rice; not my Gentoo rice lmao

I also hate navigating through dotfiles lol. I lay mine out like my actual filesytems.

Well, like I said there is a system to it. Most files are contained in their default locations; where they would be on an actual system. The Gentoo and OpenBSD directiories are the root directories for each system. My neofetch is in the rice, so you can tell what OS it is. You are right that I need a guide. I might create one in the future. Feel free to move this conversation to a git issue on the repo.
