3 f7481580 2022-02-21 op The calm window manager, cwm for short, is my favourite window manager.
4 f7481580 2022-02-21 op It's *the* window manager that convinced me that using a floating window
5 f7481580 2022-02-21 op manager was actually worth it.
7 f7481580 2022-02-21 op My configuration is unusually long.
9 f7481580 2022-02-21 op First I have a list of applications for the built-in menu:
11 f7481580 2022-02-21 op command emacsclient "emacsclient -c"
12 f7481580 2022-02-21 op command firefox firefox
13 f7481580 2022-02-21 op command gimp gimp
14 f7481580 2022-02-21 op command godot godot
15 f7481580 2022-02-21 op command inkscape inkscape
16 f7481580 2022-02-21 op command iridium iridium
17 f7481580 2022-02-21 op command keepassxc keepassxc
18 f7481580 2022-02-21 op command lock xlock
19 f7481580 2022-02-21 op command term xterm
20 f7481580 2022-02-21 op command xterm.jp xterm.jp
22 9742dc33 2022-03-02 op I found these color by random I guess, but they're fine
24 f7481580 2022-02-21 op color activeborder "#0abeff"
25 f7481580 2022-02-21 op color inactiveborder "#777"
27 f7481580 2022-02-21 op set a decently-sized border around every window
31 0ae8e78f 2022-11-23 op I've started to use cwm without "sticky" tags. Enabling the sticky mode
32 0ae8e78f 2022-11-23 op makes cwm behave like other windows managers with "tags" (or
33 0ae8e78f 2022-11-23 op "workspaces".) Without sticky tags, you can decide with more granularly
34 0ae8e78f 2022-11-23 op which window to show and which not.
38 f7481580 2022-02-21 op I also prefer to "snap" windows close to the edges
42 f7481580 2022-02-21 op I don't want to give focus to some applications via alt-tab
44 f7481580 2022-02-21 op ignore sshmenu
45 f7481580 2022-02-21 op ignore stalonetray
47 f7481580 2022-02-21 op ignore termbar
49 f7481580 2022-02-21 op ignore xconsole
50 f7481580 2022-02-21 op ignore Catclock
51 f7481580 2022-02-21 op ignore "Speedbar 1.0"
53 f7481580 2022-02-21 op autogroup does what it seems: it automatically moves some windows in a
54 f7481580 2022-02-21 op specific group (aka workspace.) The group 0 is sticky across all groups
56 f7481580 2022-02-21 op autogroup 0 XClock
57 f7481580 2022-02-21 op autogroup 0 Catclock

65 f7481580 2022-02-21 op autogroup 3 TelegramDesktop
67 f7481580 2022-02-21 op Most cwm keybindings use `alt' which conflicts with emacs. So I unbind
68 f7481580 2022-02-21 op everything and re-bind most of the keys on the mod4 (super) key
70 f7481580 2022-02-21 op unbind-key all

84 616e27e6 2022-07-29 op and vice-versa, and the mouse buttons too. it's useful when playing
85 616e27e6 2022-07-29 op some games, hence the name, or when in need to share the keyboard with
88 616e27e6 2022-07-29 op bind-key 4-F5 "gamemode"
90 f7481580 2022-02-21 op I don't have a dedicated key for screenshot on this machine, but
91 f7481580 2022-02-21 op Scroll_Lock is not too awkward to press
