Asking if the mmnametags patch could be added to site
Similar to the nametag patch but each monitor has its own unique set of
name tags. You can name a tag by hitting the appropriate key
combination. By default this is set to MODKEY+n. dwm-mmnametags-6.6.diff
names and replaces the tag number with the tag name.
dwm-mmnametags-prepend-6.6.diff prepends the tag number to the tag name.

+==================

+Description
+-----------
+This patch is an addition to the
+[nametag](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/nametag/) patch but each monitor has
+it's own unique set of nametags. You do not need to install the original
+nametag patch first.
