yeahwm - Minimalist Window Manager for X

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

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.

-display display
specifies the X display to run on.
-term termprog
specifies an alternative program to run when spawning a new terminal (defaults to xterm, or x-terminal-emulator in Debian).
-fg foreground
frame colour of currently active window.
-bg background
frame colour of inactive windows.
-bw borderwidth
width of window borders in pixels.
-snap num
enable snap-to-border support. num gives the proximity in pixels to snap to.
-V

No one known so fare ;-)
