setattachdefault

Function	Expected argument	Default keybinding
setattachdefault	string	N/A

The setattachdefault function can be used to change the default attach method for new client windows during runtime.

This applies to windows that are either not ruled or do not have any attach flags that overrides the default attach method.

The default attach method can be set in config.h via the attachdefault variable:

static unsigned int attachdefault = AttachAside; // or AttachMaster, AttachAbove, AttachBelow, AttachBottom

External commands:

$ duskc run_command setattachdefault AttachMaster  # new windows to attach at the top of the master area
$ duskc run_command setattachdefault AttachAbove   # new windows to attach at the top of the stack area
$ duskc run_command setattachdefault AttachBelow   # new windows to attach at the bottom of the stack area
$ duskc run_command setattachdefault AttachAside   # new windows to attach above the currently focused client
$ duskc run_command setattachdefault AttachBottom  # new windows to attach below the currently focused client
