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 8e69d76d 2023-10-24 op command term myterm
21 9742dc33 2022-03-02 op I found these color by random I guess, but they're fine
23 f7481580 2022-02-21 op color activeborder "#0abeff"
24 f7481580 2022-02-21 op color inactiveborder "#777"
26 f7481580 2022-02-21 op set a decently-sized border around every window
30 0ae8e78f 2022-11-23 op I've started to use cwm without "sticky" tags. Enabling the sticky mode
31 0ae8e78f 2022-11-23 op makes cwm behave like other windows managers with "tags" (or
32 0ae8e78f 2022-11-23 op "workspaces".) Without sticky tags, you can decide with more granularly
33 0ae8e78f 2022-11-23 op which window to show and which not.
37 f7481580 2022-02-21 op I also prefer to "snap" windows close to the edges
41 f7481580 2022-02-21 op I don't want to give focus to some applications via alt-tab
43 f7481580 2022-02-21 op ignore sshmenu
44 f7481580 2022-02-21 op ignore stalonetray
46 f7481580 2022-02-21 op ignore termbar
48 f7481580 2022-02-21 op ignore xconsole
49 f7481580 2022-02-21 op ignore Catclock
50 f7481580 2022-02-21 op ignore "Speedbar 1.0"
52 f7481580 2022-02-21 op autogroup does what it seems: it automatically moves some windows in a
53 f7481580 2022-02-21 op specific group (aka workspace.) The group 0 is sticky across all groups
55 f7481580 2022-02-21 op autogroup 0 XClock

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

84 616e27e6 2022-07-29 op some games, hence the name, or when in need to share the keyboard with

89 f7481580 2022-02-21 op I don't have a dedicated key for screenshot on this machine, but
90 f7481580 2022-02-21 op Scroll_Lock is not too awkward to press
