Feature: Starting application under specific tag about awesome-config

starting applications under specific tags

Awesome WM has rules to accomplish this out of the box. Have you any problem with that approach?

I have used tables approach in my last config and it was ok.

I was wondering if You plan to add code in the official repository for easy configuration. I am not very familiar with Lua to add it myself.

All the code is already added. For example in rc-colorless.lua you can see

-- Rules
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
local rules = require("colorless.rules-config") -- load file with rules configuration
rules:init({ hotkeys = hotkeys})

which means rules table can be found in colorless/rules-config.lua. Edit it according API link above.
For example to start Firefox app under the tag named 'Tag4'

	-- Build rules
	--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	self.rules = {
		{
			rule       = {},
			properties = args.base_properties or self.base_properties
		},
		{
			rule_any   = args.floating_any or self.floating_any,
			properties = { floating = true }
		},
		{
			rule_any   = { type = { "normal", "dialog" }},
			properties = { titlebars_enabled = true }
		},
		{
			rule = { class = "Firefox" },
			properties = { tag = "Tag4" }
		}
	}

Thank You for the snippets.
I have added code from the reference and it works great.
