This project is a fork of imwheel-1.0.0pre12, imwheel's final official release.
It contains only one change — a patch that repairs imwheel's broken @Exclude command. This lets imwheel successfully re-grab windows after focusing on an @Excluded window.
Description: imwheel ignores FocusOut events, fix that
imwheel's @Exclude doesn't work, because it doesn't handle FocusOut
events properly (explicitly ignoring them). As a result, using
the @Exclude command always causes imwheel to break upon entering
an excluded window. This patch fixes this.

Milko Krachounov wrote this patch. I have simply pre-applied it and updated the installation instructions.
1. sudo apt install checkinstall libx11-dev libxtst-dev libxmu-dev
to install the compilation dependencies.
2. cd to the imwheel-exclude-patched-master folder.
3. ./configure
Resolve any errors by Googling them. Repeat ./configure until it reports no further errors.
4. sudo checkinstall
We use checkinstall instead of make install to create a portable .deb package.
5. In checkinstall, use option 2 to rename the package to imwheel-exclude-patched.
6. Use option 3 to change the version number to 1.
7. Press Enter to compile.
8. sudo rm /etc/X11/imwheel/imwheelrc
This default .imwheelrc file contains several configuration examples. You likely do not want them running on your system. After removing this file, create a .imwheelrc file in your home directory instead.
9. imwheel --kill
to start a new instance.
