Comments can be put anywhere in the file using a hash mark .Pq Sq # , and extend to the end of the current line. Care should be taken when commenting out multi-line text: the comment is effective until the end of the entire block. .Pp Arguments containing whitespace should be surrounded by double quotes .Pq \&" . .Pp The following options are accepted: .Pp .Bl -tag -width Ds -compact .It Ic autogroup Ar group windowclass .It Ic autogroup Ar group windowname,windowclass Automatically add new windows to .Ar group if their class property matches .Ar windowclass , or if their name and class properties match .Ar windowname and .Ar windowclass , respectively. The more specific last match wins. .Ar group is a number between 0 and 9. If .Ar group is 0, matching windows will not be added to any group; this may be used to override .Dq sticky group mode . .Pp The name and class values, respectively, for existing windows are both set in the WM_CLASS property and may be obtained using .Xr xprop 1 . .Pp .It Ic bind-key Ar key function Bind or rebind key .Ar key to .Ar function . The modifier keys come first, followed by a .Sq - , then a keysym name, taken from .Pa /usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h . .Pp The following modifiers are recognised: .Pp .Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact .It Ic C Control key. .It Ic M Meta key. .It Ic S Shift key. .It Ic 4 Mod4 (windows) key. .It Ic 5 Mod5 (AltGr) key. .El .Pp The .Ar function may either be one from the .Sx BIND FUNCTION LIST (see below) or the command line that is to be executed. .Pp .It Ic bind-mouse Ar button function Bind or rebind button .Ar button to .Ar function . The modifier keys come first, followed by a .Sq - , then the button number. .Pp The same modifiers are recognised as for .Ar key in .Nm bind-key . .Pp The following buttons are recognised: .Pp .Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact .It Ic 1 Left mouse button. .It Ic 2 Middle mouse button. .It Ic 3 Right mouse button. .It Ic 4 Scroll up mouse button. .It Ic 5 Scroll down mouse button. .El .Pp The .Ar function may be taken from the .Sx BIND FUNCTION LIST (see below) or the command line that is to be executed. .Pp .It Ic borderwidth Ar pixels Set the window border width to .Ar pixels . .Pp .It Ic color activeborder Ar color Set the color of the active border. .Pp .It Ic color font Ar color Set menu font color. .Pp .It Ic color selfont Ar color Set font color for selected menu item. .Pp .It Ic color groupborder Ar color Set the color of the border while grouping a window. .Pp .It Ic color inactiveborder Ar color Set the color of the inactive border. .Pp .It Ic color menubg Ar color Set menu background color. .Pp .It Ic color menufg Ar color Set menu foreground color. .Pp .It Ic color urgencyborder Ar color Set the color of the border of a window indicating urgency. .Pp .It Ic color ungroupborder Ar color Set the color of the border while ungrouping a window. .Pp .It Ic command Ar name path Every .Ar name entry is shown in the application menu. When selected, the defined .Ar path is executed with .Xr execvp 3 . .Pp The .Ar name entries .Nm term and .Nm lock have a special meaning. They point to the terminal and screen locking programs specified by key bindings. The defaults are .Xr xterm 1 and .Xr xlock 1 , respectively. .Pp .It Ic fontname Ar font Change the default .Ar font for .Xr Xft 3 . .Pp .It Ic gap Ar top bottom left right Define a .Dq gap in pixels at the edge of the screen, so that when a window is maximized it will not overlap this area. This .Dq gap can be used for applications such as .Xr xclock 1 , where the user may wish to remain visible. .Pp .It Ic ignore Ar windowname Ignore, and do not warp to, windows with the name .Ar windowname when drawing borders and cycling through windows. .Pp .It Ic moveamount Ar pixels Set a default size for the keyboard movement bindings, in pixels. The default is 1. .Pp .It Ic snapdist Ar pixels Minimum distance to snap-to adjacent edge, in pixels. The default is 0. .Pp .It Ic sticky Ic yes Ns \&| Ns Ic no Toggle sticky group mode. The default behavior for new windows is to not assign any group. By enabling sticky group mode, .Xr cwm 1 will assign new windows to the currently selected group. .Pp .It Ic unbind-key Ar key Unbind function bound to .Ar key . A special .Ar key keyword .Dq all can be used to unbind all keys. .Pp .It Ic unbind-mouse Ar button Unbind function bound to .Ar button . A special .Ar button keyword .Dq all can be used to unbind all buttons. .It Ic wm Ar name path Every .Ar name entry is shown in the wm menu. When selected, the window manager is replaced by .Ar path . .El .Sh BIND FUNCTION LIST .Bl -tag -width 23n -compact .It restart Restart the running .Xr cwm 1 . .It quit Quit .Xr cwm 1 . .It terminal Spawn a new terminal. .It lock Lock the screen. .It menu-window Launch window search menu. .It menu-window-hidden Launch hidden window search menu. .It menu-cmd Launch application search menu. .It menu-group Launch group search menu. .It menu-exec Launch .Dq exec program menu. .It menu-exec-wm Launch .Dq exec WindowManager menu. .It menu-ssh Launch .Dq ssh menu. .It group-toggle-[n] Toggle visibility of group n, where n is 1-9. .It group-only-[n] Show only group n, where n is 1-9, hiding other groups. .It group-close-[n] Close all windows in group n, where n is 1-9. .It group-toggle-all Toggle visibility of all groups. .It window-group Toggle group membership of current window. .It window-movetogroup-[n] Hide current window from display and move to group n, where n is 1-9. .It group-cycle Forward cycle through groups. .It group-rcycle Reverse cycle through groups. .It window-cycle Forward cycle through windows. .It window-rcycle Reverse cycle through windows. .It window-cycle-ingroup Forward cycle through windows in current group. .It window-rcycle-ingroup Reverse cycle through windows in current group. .It window-close Close current window. .It window-hide Hide current window. .It window-lower Lower current window. .It window-raise Raise current window. .It window-menu-label Label current window. .It window-freeze Freeze current window geometry. .It window-stick Stick current window to all groups (same as assigning to nogroup). .It window-fullscreen Full-screen current window (gap + border removed). .It window-maximize Maximize current window (gap + border honored). .It window-vmaximize Vertically maximize current window (gap + border honored). .It window-hmaximize Horizontally maximize current window (gap + border honored). .It window-htile Current window is placed at the top of the screen, maximized horizontally and resized to half of the vertical screen space.
