As the title says. :) But just only once. When normally opened the program would go tiled.
I need this on my config which will run that program at startup.
(the program is urxvtc, and yes, it has that geometry setting which can do the magic I need, but I ask this because if I needed some other program to open that way)
you can have it set in either your autostart or as a set keybinding. Either or both will work
as stated above you can specify
for_window [class='Urxvt'] floating enablethen specify a keybinding
bindsym $MOD+Enter exec urxvt -g 78x24and / or specify a position on the screen
bindysm $MOD+Enter exec urxvt -g [height]x[width][+,-]x[+,-]y bindsym $MOD+Enter exec urxvt -g 78x24+50+20
The above will put in in the upper left
You can use urxvt’s -name property and then match on that:
# autostart urxvt with instance set to "foo"
exec urxvtc -name foo
for_window [instance="^foo$"] floating enable
Also make sure you know about the scratchpad functionality (see the userguide), maybe that already does what you want (you don’t specify what you want…)
