       - by default, dwm responds to \_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW client messages by setting the urgency bit on the named window
       - this patch activates the window instead
 
+   - [leftlayout](http://dwm.suckless.org/patches/leftlayout/)
+      - moves the layout symbol in the status bar to the left hand side
+
    - [losefullscreen](https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-vanitygaps/blob/master/patches/dwm-losefullscreen-6.2.diff)
       - by default in dwm it is possible to make an application fullscreen, then use the focusstack keybindings to focus on other windows beneath the current window
       - it is also possible to spawn new windows (e.g. a terminal) that end up getting focus while the previous window remains in fullscreen
