euclid-wm - A highly flexible, minimal, dynamic, tiling window manager
start-euclid
euclid-wm (started directly euclid will not check for
config files.)
euclid (euclid-wm) aims to be a highly flexible tiling window
manger, which allows easy management of large collections of windows entirely
from the keyboard.
Euclid's state can be described as:
- M + <enter> - start run dialogue (by default, dmenu). NB:
this takes keyboard focus as long as it is open; Once it is opened you
must either select a command (with enter) or exit the dialog (with
esc).
- M + <shift> + <enter> - start terminal (default:
xterm).
- M + h/j/k/l - move focus left/down/up/right
- M + H/J/K/L - move focused window left/down/up/right
- M + u/i/o/p - resize window: move lower right corner
left/down/up/right
- M + <esc> - close currently focused window
- M + <shift> + <esc> - kill window (for unresponsive
programs)
The stack maintains its own focus; The currently focused item can be identified
by its blue color.
- M + <space> - Toggle the stack's visibility
- M + . - Move the currently focused window to the stack (i.e.,
minimize it)
- M + , - Move the currently focused stack item to the main area
(i.e., restore it)
- M + / - Swap currently focused stack item and currently focused
main item.
- M + ;/' - Move stack focus up/down
- M + <shift> + ;/' - Shift the stack item up/down in
the stack
- M + n/m - Move to the previous/next view
- M + N/M - Move currently focused window to the previous/next
view
- M + 1-9 - Move to the 1-9th view
- M + <shift> + 1-9 - Move the currently focused window to the
1-9th view
- M + 0 - Move to the last populated view (regardless of its
number).
- M + <shift> + 0 - Move the currently focused window to the
last populated view.
A note on the order and numbering of views: The enumeration is
not strictly accurate; View 9 may not be the 9th view. Specifically,
once a view is assigned a number it retains that number regardless of
where it actually falls in the list of views. This is so that accessing
views based on their number remains consistent.
The first view, created when euclid starts, is view 1; Going
to the previous view makes a new view, but view 1 remains the original
one, even though by counting it is now actually the second. Likewise, if
one starts on view 1, and goes to view 9, view 9 remains view 9, even
though it may actually be the second view. However, numbered views are
always in order. So if one starts with view 1 and creates view 9, then
creates view 8, view 8 will be placed between views 1 and 9.
- M + <shift> + <space> - Change to fullscreen mode.
Notes on fullscreen mode: In fullscreen mode the stack is
disabled: widows cannot be added or taken out. j/k will cycle through
all windows on the view in a linear way. If the view is in fullscreen
mode because a window triggered fullscreen, and that window closes,
euclid will switch back to its normal tiled layout; if the user manually
triggered fullscreen mode, euclid will remain in fullscreen.
- M + <tab> - toggle the orientation of the tracks (vertical or
horizontal layout)
- M + Q - quit euclid.
- M + r - reload config file in place.
- M + <shift> + ? - search a list of all windows presented in
dmenu.
- M + PgUp/PgDown - when multiple screen is in use, switch focus to
previous/next screen.
- On startup euclid will look for
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/euclid-wm/euclid-wm.conf If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is
not defined it will look for $HOME/.config/euclid-wm/euclid-wm.conf
If euclid-wm.conf is found, euclid will override its default settings with
those found in the file. A sample config file euclid-wm.conf.sample
should have come with euclid. If euclid is started with start-euclid the
start-euclid will check to see whether these files are installed for the
current user, and if not, it will create them from the system defaults.
The default is kept in /usr/share/euclid-wm/ At startup euclid will also
(try to) run the script euclidrc in the same directory (e.g.,
~/.config/euclid-wm/euclidrc). This is meant as a place for the user to
add any commands he would like run at startup. A default is stored in
/usr/share/euclid-wm/
