1 spawn\_cwd
2 ==========

4 Description
5 -----------
6 Spawns programs from currently focused client's working directory. See this
7 [blog post](https://sunaku.github.io/dwm-spawn-cwd-patch.html) for more information.

9 Currently the patch does not spawn into the cwd when the path
10 to the working directory is 15 characters of length. For example
11 spawning a new shell from a directory called ~/abcdefghijklm will
12 open the shell in the home directory instead. This happens because
13 the cwd to open is taken from the dwm status which gets truncated at a
14 certain depth using ellipses (.../path/to/long/dir/name).
