Using Winger with another window naming extension

Lionel Wong edited this page Mar 7, 2024 · 2 revisions

Are you using another extension to name (a.k.a. label, title) your windows? Beginning v2.5.0, Winger can accommodate with a few settings.

We should expect this other extension to use title prefaces – optional, persistent bits of text at the start of window titles – to help you identify your windows. Winger's popup panel can display and filter them just fine, as long as you don't name the windows via Winger.

  • Show name in window title preface — Disable this to ensure that Winger does not touch title prefaces.

If you have enabled stashing:

  • Stash nameless windows using window titles as names — You probably want to enable this so you can identify your stashes.
  • Auto-name unstashed windows — Disable this so that Winger never names the windows you unstash.
