Okay Chaps
I am starting to get into dwm and get it setup. Two/three things I haven’t worked out how to do yet and I hope someone here can help.
1.Use media XF86 buttons with mpd
I added these to my config.def.h
file
static const char *munext[] = { "/usr/bin/mpc", "next", NULL };
static const char *muprev[] = { "/usr/bin/mpc", "prev", NULL };
static const char *mupause[] = { "/usr/bin/mpc", "toggle", NULL };
&
{ 0, XF86XK_AudioNext, spawn, {.v = munext } },
{ 0, XF86XK_AudioPrev, spawn, {.v = muprev } },
{ 0, XF86XK_AudioPlay, spawn, {.v = mupause } },
{ 0, XF86XK_AudioPause, spawn, {.v = mupause } },
{ 0, XF86XK_AudioStop, spawn, {.v = mupause } },
Set mate-appearance-properties to set the correct theme and wallpaper upon boot/log-in (I am using an .xml file for a wallpaper to change through out the day and so that’s why I am using mate-appearance.
I added to my ~.Xinitrc file
/usr/lib/mate-settings-daemon/mate-settings-daemon &
Set ksuperkey to work with dwm and to run rofi.
Solved, see @PackRat and @natemaia
If anyone can help it will be really appreciated.

Okay I have corrected my first issue.
Need get the mate-appearance to start at login.

Well , looks too complicated for me ! lol
Wonder if some had ksuperkey working on dwm.
Same as any other WM, create a bind that launches your preferred launcher
/* Create a launcher command */
static const char *dmenu[] = { "dmenu_run", NULL };
/* Bind it in the keybind array */
{ Mod1Mask, XK_F1, spawn, {.v = dmenu} },
Recompile and test.
source
Then install and launch ksuperkey via ~/.xinitrc
or similar for whatever key you want to use to whatever keybind you set up before (Alt-F1 in this case)
ksuperkey -e 'Super_L=Alt_L|F1' &
source

What Nate posted, and I use rofi; so the function for that:
static const char *roficmd[] = { "rofi", "-show", "run", NULL };

Thanks Chaps. Still getting a hang of this so thanks for the patience.
I’m really starting to enjoy dwm. I’m adding a few patches that add a bit of functionality and it is starting to shape up really nice.

Don’t worry, just setting up dwm so its similar in use to i3 if I happen to change for good.
PackRat:
Which ones did you use?
Just one actually, so far anyway, I added the Fibonacci patch.
I’ve never tried that one.
Focusonclick, gapless grid, and bottomstack are the ones I usually apply.
I’m still very much at the beginning with dwm but I am sure I will try other patches.

attachaside (or similar) is a must imo

I’ve just started using that one as well.
