I am mainly using a Laptop with no external mouse connected, so just touchpad. I
don't use the pointer that often (Nearly only to click on links in surf I
think). Since I also leastly use mono/fullscreen mode of dwm, opening single
Windows with no spacebing capability seems rather useless (more windows in the
view, less time spent finding the right one). However when researching some
stuff, I sometimes want to open a link in a new instance and since it does not
make sense for me to open it in a new window, I want to open it in a new space.
Is this usecase clear enough or should I elaborate less?
