  2 f7481580 2022-02-21 op 
  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.
  6 f7481580 2022-02-21 op 
  7 f7481580 2022-02-21 op My configuration is unusually long.
  8 f7481580 2022-02-21 op 
  9 f7481580 2022-02-21 op First I have a list of applications for the built-in menu:
 10 f7481580 2022-02-21 op 
 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

 16 f7481580 2022-02-21 op 	command iridium		iridium

 21 f7481580 2022-02-21 op 
 22 9742dc33 2022-03-02 op I found these color by random I guess, but they're fine
 23 f7481580 2022-02-21 op 
 24 f7481580 2022-02-21 op 	color activeborder "#0abeff"
 25 f7481580 2022-02-21 op 	color inactiveborder "#777"
 26 f7481580 2022-02-21 op 
 27 f7481580 2022-02-21 op set a decently-sized border around every window
 28 f7481580 2022-02-21 op 
 29 f7481580 2022-02-21 op 	borderwidth 2
 30 f7481580 2022-02-21 op 
 31 f7481580 2022-02-21 op I don't understand how cwm is meant to be used by deafult since I'm used
 32 f7481580 2022-02-21 op to window managers with "tags" (or "workspaces").  Fortunately I can
 33 f7481580 2022-02-21 op enable "sticky" mode on cwm to simulate workspaces
 34 f7481580 2022-02-21 op 
 35 f7481580 2022-02-21 op 	sticky yes
 36 f7481580 2022-02-21 op 
 37 f7481580 2022-02-21 op I also prefer to "snap" windows close to the edges
 38 f7481580 2022-02-21 op 
 39 f7481580 2022-02-21 op 	snapdist 5
 40 f7481580 2022-02-21 op 
 41 f7481580 2022-02-21 op with cwm I usually use tint2 as bar, either at the top or at the bottom.
 42 f7481580 2022-02-21 op cwm doesn't account the space for it automatically like other window
 43 f7481580 2022-02-21 op manager, we have to do that manually
 44 f7481580 2022-02-21 op 
 45 f7481580 2022-02-21 op 	gap 0 30 0 0
 46 f7481580 2022-02-21 op 
 47 f7481580 2022-02-21 op I don't want to give focus to some applications via alt-tab
 48 f7481580 2022-02-21 op 
 49 f7481580 2022-02-21 op 	ignore sshmenu

 57 f7481580 2022-02-21 op 
 58 f7481580 2022-02-21 op autogroup does what it seems: it automatically moves some windows in a
 59 f7481580 2022-02-21 op specific group (aka workspace.)  The group 0 is sticky across all groups

 72 f7481580 2022-02-21 op Most cwm keybindings use `alt' which conflicts with emacs.  So I unbind
