|
||
.El
|
||
.Pp
|
||
The mouse bindings are also important, they are:
|
||
.Pp
|
||
.Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact
|
||
.It M-M1
|
||
Move a window.

|

.El
|
||
.Pp
|
||
The options for
|
||
.Nm
|
||
are as follows:
|
||
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
||
.It Fl d Ar display
|
||
Specify the display to use.
|
||
.It Fl c Ar file
|
||
Specify the config file to use. Defaults to
|
||
.Pa ~/.cwmrc .
|
||
.El
|
||
.Sh POINTER MOVEMENT
|
||
The pointer can be moved with the use of the keyboard through bindings.
|
||
C-[UP|DOWN|LEFT|RIGHT] moves the pointer a small amount, while
|
||
C-shift-[UP|DOWN|LEFT|RIGHT] moves the pointer a larger amount.
|
||
For example, to move the pointer to the left by a small amount,
|
||
press C-LEFT.
|
||
To move the pointer down by a larger amount, press C-shift-DOWN.
|
||
.Sh WINDOW MOVEMENT AND RESIZING
|
||
.Nm
|
||
windows can be moved with the use of the keyboard through Vi-like bindings.
|
||
M-[hjkl] moves the current window a small amount, while M-shift-[hjkl] moves
|
||
the current window a larger amount.
|
||
For example, to move the current window to the left a small amount, press M-h.
|
||
To move the current window down by a larger amount, press M-shift-j.
|
||
.Pp
|
||
Similarly, windows may be resized with the same keybindings with the addition
|
||
of the Control key.
|
||
C-M-[hjkl] resizes the window a small amount and C-M-shift-[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 keybindings 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
|
||
Select the next window in the list.
|
||
.It Ic [Up], C-r No or Ic M-k
|
||
Select the previous window in the list.
|
||
.It Ic [Backspace] No or Ic C-h
|
||
Backspace.
|
||
.It Ic C-u
|
||
Clear the input.
|
||
.It Ic [Enter]
|
||
Focus the selected window.
|
||
.It Ic [Esc]
|
||
Cancel.
|
||
.It Ic C-a
|
||
Whenever there are no matching windows, list every window.
|
||
.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.
|
||
.Sh MENUS
|
||
Menus are recalled by clicking the mouse on the root window:
|
||
.Pp
|
||
.Bl -tag -width 10n -offset -indent -compact
|
||
.It M1
|
||
Show list of currently hidden windows.
|
||
Clicking on an item will unhide that window.

|
||
.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.
