Re: thinkpad x31 keys

Try 'xev'. It can say you what events the 'xev' window receives. So you
can see if it is some key of keyboard, or if it is "mouse wheel" (mouse
wheel often behave as next/previous in firefox - as it generates mouse
button 4 & 5 click*). Then you can edit your ion config files to set
apropriate binding (kpress or mpress).

*) Another X-related braindead thing...

Rewrite the list generator :).

Do winprops not help?  Or did I misunderstand you?

Hmm, and your workspaces were not autosaved? Did you terminated ion, or
just killed/crashed it? Try quitting/restarting ion after you set up the
workspaces (via ion's menu or appropriate lua functions). The layout
(i.e. framework without applications) should get saved.

As csant wrote, winprops are for placing new windows in correct frames.
You can also disable it afterwards, if you want the default place under
pointer behaviour later.

As others have pointed out, there's "winprops" [1], that can be used to
some extent. In particular the 'target' and 'new_group' properties are
useful in this case. The former will specify an existing frame or so,
and the latter the name of a stored layout for a new group to be created,
if the 'target' didn't exist. You can copy-paste the configuration of
a group you have created from the layout savefile (removing references
to client windows), and pass it to ioncore.deflayout to give it a name.
(Also see cfg_layout.lua for examples of layout definitions.) Give useful
(unique) names to the frames within the layout, and you have a sort of 
template system. It's a bit clumsy, but then apps don't exactly help us
here, and haven't found myself wanting an improved version of the feature.
You could do something better with Lua scripting, perhaps.

a question about mod_query and the completor

if there is only one candidate matching the input, we mustn't  press TAB
to complete it.

Are you asking to be able to type a unique leading section and then just
hit enter to activate the full match? So assuming "foo" has only one
possible completion "foobar", you want to be able to hit your query
keybinding, type 'foo' then hit enter directly?

Re: a question about mod_query and the completor

yes.
if i type "oo", if there is only one possible completion "foobar", i could hit
enter directly.
