# Executing with rules
The `exec` dispatcher supports adding rules. Please note some windows might work better, some
worse. It records the PID of the spawned process and uses that. If your process e.g. forks and then
the fork opens a window, this will not work.
The syntax is:
```
bind = mod, key, exec, [rules...] command
```
For example:
```
bind = SUPER, E, exec, [workspace 2 silent;float;noanim] kitty
```
