I think I know what Friedrich means, groups of items under a single taskbar entry (with popup shortlist).

Unfortunately there is no formal mechanism for identifying individual windows as belonging to a a group.

��

Any window can have whatever title/label it wants, models are not either present or identical for the same "type" of window etc.

��

Could introduce a "taskbar type" perhaps, maybe TWm does something similar for grouping.

Actually in TWM windows groups are defined in TilingWM, windows protocol, based on SystemWindow model class. For example:

TilingWM>>browsers

^ self windowsOfModels: #(Browser OBSystemBrowser OBCodeBrowser NautilusUI NautilusUI2 MessageListBrowser FinderUI).

TilingWM>>monticellos

^ self windowsOfModels: ��#(MCTool MCPackageManager).

We can enable "custom" groups, should be quite easy (using a pragma and / or system settings), I don't know if it's useful.

Hello,

TWM stands for Tiling Windows Manager, check screencasts at the author's blog to see it in action:

I think it could cover you needs pretty well ;)
