Hi avinash,

I have configured all of my chat windows to go to a different workspace
(say "chat" workspace) using for_window and floating enabled.

when A movie is watched in another workspace (say "personal" workspace),
and suddenly a chat window appears - I'm using chrome hangouts plugin,
which open separate window for each conversation - and vlc is swapped to
the chat workspace and the new popup in the current workspace.

This is a bug, isn't it?

this is the configuration:

for_window [class="Google-chrome"
instance="crx_nckgahadagoaajjgafhacjanaoiihapd"] floating enable; move
container to workspace chat
There is a subtle mistake in your configuration: you should use a comma,
not a semicolon, to separate these commands:

for_window [class="Google-chrome"
instance="crx_nckgahadagoaajjgafhacjanaoiihapd"] floating enable, move
container to workspace chat

I realized that this is not covered in the userguide, so I just added
this section:

When using multiple commands, separate them by using a +,+ (a comma) instead of
a semicolon. Criteria apply only until the next semicolon, so if you use a
semicolon to separate commands, only the first one will be executed for the
matched window(s).
