NAME¶
miwm - a minimal appearance, full-function window manager
SYNOPSIS¶
miwm
DESCRIPTION¶
MIWM is Ben Wise's
MInimal
Window
Manager. It is
pronounced 'my whim'.
The goal of
miwm is to be a fully functional window manager, while
retaining a very spare (Zen or Spartan, as you please) appearance and
command-set.
WARNING¶
This man page is
VERY MUCH under construction. It is not complete, and
blatantly contains leftover pieces of the man page I used as a template. Do
not rely on anything you find here.
COMMANDS¶
The notation for describing commands is that
Mouse-1-frame means 'button
1 click on frame',
C-Mouse-3-root means 'control button 3 click on
root',
- Mouse-1-frame
- Raise.
- Mouse-2-frame
- Move. Mouse-2-root Select virtual workspace.
- Mouse-3-frame
- Hide.
Filenames passed to
miwm can be directories or deleted files. If a
directory that is not deleted is passed to
miwm, then the deleted files
or directories in it will be restored; if the recursive option is specified,
then all deleted files or directories in any of its children will be restored
as well.
The shell wildcards
* and
?, as well as shell brace notation using
[ and
], are interpreted correctly by
miwm. It is
possible to pass wildcards to the program without the wildcards being
intercepted by the shell by setting
noglob (in
csh) or by
quoting the wildcards. To delete a file that actually has a wildcard in its
name, you must precede the quoted wildcard with a quoted backslash.
If no files are specified on the command line,
miwm goes into interactive
mode. In interactive mode, the user is prompted to enter files to be restored,
one file per line. Typing a carriage return on an empty prompt line exits the
program.
Wildcards and quoting backslashes can be entered directly at the prompt without
any shell interference (which is the main reason there is an interactive
mode).
OPTIONS¶
Miwm No command-line options.
KNOWN BUGS¶
The code is too complicated. No icon support.
