            4 Description
            5 -----------
            6 Dwm tags are a powerfull feature that allows organizing windows in workspaces.
            7 Sometime it can be difficult to remember the tag to activate to unhide a
            8 window. With the winview patch the window to unhide can be selected from the
            9 all-window view. The user switches to the all-window view (`Mod1-0`), selects
           10 the window (`Mod1-j`/`k` or using the mouse) and press `Mod1-o`. The key
           11 `Mod1-o` switches the view to the selected window tag.

           14 -----------------
           15 The [grid](../gridmode/) layout is well adapted to display many windows in a
           16 limited space. Using both [grid](../gridmode/) and [pertag](../pertag/) patches
           17 you will be able to select this layout for the all-window view while keeping
           18 your preferred layout for the other views.
