|
.Ic CM-[hjkl]
|
|
resizes the window a small amount and
|
|
.Ic CMS-[hjkl]
|

resizes by a larger increment.
|
|
.Sh SEARCH
|
|
.Nm
|
|
features the ability to search for windows by their current title,
|
|
old titles, and by their label.
|
|
The priority for the search results are: label, current title,
|
|
old titles in reverse order, and finally window class name.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
keeps a history of the 5 previous titles of a window.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When searching, the leftmost character of the result list may show a
|
|
flag:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 10n -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It !
|
|
The window is the currently focused window.
|
|
.It &
|
|
The window is hidden.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following key bindings may be used to navigate the result list:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "[Down] or C-s or M-j" -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It Ic [Down], C-s No or Ic M-j

|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh GROUPS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
has the ability to group windows together, and use the groups to
|
|
perform operations on the entire group instead of just one window.
|
|
Currently, the only operation that is supported is to hide and unhide
|
|
the grouped windows.
|
|
Together with the
|
|
.Pa sticky
|
|
option, this can be used to emulate virtual desktops.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To edit groups, use the group selection commands to toggle membership
|
|
of a group.
|
|
A blue border will be shown briefly on windows added to the current group,
|
|
and a red border will be shown on those just removed.
|

|
.Nm
|
|
was originally inspired by evilwm, but was rewritten from scratch
|
|
due to limitations in the evilwm codebase.
|

The from-scratch rewrite borrowed some code from 9wm, however that code
|
|
has since been removed or rewritten.
