# this lets a new monitor called "scratchpad" appear in from the top into the
# current monitor. There the "scratchpad" will be shown (it will be created if
# it doesn't exist yet). If the monitor already exists it is scrolled out of
# the screen and removed again.
#
# Warning: this uses much resources because herbstclient is forked for each
# animation step.
#
# If a tag name is supplied, this is used instead of the scratchpad
