Attach clients into the stack area when you toggle a new tag into view

[3333juul]

Hi, I'm trying to replicate this behaviour in awesome:
https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/tagintostack/

,,tagintostack new clients attach into the stack area when you toggle a new tag into view. This means your master area will remain unchanged when toggling views."

Any advice how could I do this?

Hello,

Some times ago, the default rc.lua had this section in:

client.connect_signal("manage", function (c)
    -- Set the windows at the slave,
    -- i.e. put it at the end of others instead of setting it master.
    -- if not awesome.startup then awful.client.setslave(c) end

    if awesome.startup
      and not c.size_hints.user_position
      and not c.size_hints.program_position then
        -- Prevent clients from being unreachable after screen count changes.
        awful.placement.no_offscreen(c)
    end
end)

It was removed by 067bcac.

The interesting part for your use case is the awful.client.setslave(c). Nowadays, there are multiple places where you can place it. Ruled.client are definitely a good candidate. The client "request::manage" signal that replace the old "manage" signal also works.
