yeahwm - Minimalist Window Manager for X

SYNOPSIS

yeahwm [ -display display ] [ -term termprog ] [ -fg foreground ] [ -bg background ] [ -bw borderwidth ] [ -snap num ] [ -V ]

DESCRIPTION

yeahwm is a minimalist window manager based on evilwm.

In yeahwm, the focus follows the mouse pointer, and focus if not lost is you stray onto the root window. The current window border is shaded gold, with other windows left as a dark grey.

You can use the mouse to manipulate windows either by click/dragging the 1 pixel border, or by holding down Alt and doing so anywhere in the client window. The controls are:

Button 1: Move window.
Button 3: Resize window.
Mousewheel down: Lower window.
Mousewheel up: Raise window.

Mousewheel over root window switches virtual desktops

Dragging the window againstthe left/right screen edge will switch to prev./next virtual Worspace.

Most keyboard controls are used by holding down Control and Alt, then pressing a key. Available functions are:

Return: Spawn new terminal.
Escape: Delete current window.
Insert: Lower current window.
H, J, K, L: Move window left, down, up or right (16 pixels).
Y, U, B, N: Move window to top-left, top-right, bottom-left or bottom-right of screen.
I: Show information about current window.
Equals: Maximise current window vertically (toggle).
X: Maximise current window (toggle).

If compiled with virtual desktop support, these functions are also available:

F: Fix or unfix current window.
1 - 8: Switch virtual desktop.
Left: Previous virtual desktop.
Right: Next virtual desktop.

In addition to the above, Alt+Tab can be used to cycle through windows on screen.

To make yeahwm exit, you have to kill the process.
