# calm window manager

The calm window manager, cwm for short, is my favourite window manager.
It's *the* window manager that convinced me that using a floating window
manager was actually worth it.

My configuration is unusually long.

First I have a list of applications for the built-in menu:

	command emacsclient	"emacsclient -c"
	command firefox		firefox
	command gimp		gimp
	command godot		godot
	command inkscape	inkscape
	command iridium		iridium
	command keepassxc	keepassxc
	command lock		xlock
	command term		xterm
	command xterm.jp	xterm.jp

I found these color by random I guess, but they're fine

	color activeborder "#0abeff"
	color inactiveborder "#777"

set a decently-sized border around every window

	borderwidth 2

I don't understand how cwm is meant to be used by deafult since I'm used
to window managers with "tags" (or "workspaces").  Fortunately I can
enable "sticky" mode on cwm to simulate workspaces

	sticky yes

I also prefer to "snap" windows close to the edges

	snapdist 5

I don't want to give focus to some applications via alt-tab

	ignore sshmenu
	ignore stalonetray
	ignore stats
	ignore termbar
	ignore xclock
	ignore xconsole
	ignore Catclock
	ignore "Speedbar 1.0"

autogroup does what it seems: it automatically moves some windows in a
specific group (aka workspace.)  The group 0 is sticky across all groups

	autogroup 0 XClock
	autogroup 0 Catclock
	autogroup 0 XConsole
	autogroup 0 sshmenu,Xmessage
	autogroup 0 stalonetray
	autogroup 0 stats
	autogroup 0 termbar
	autogroup 2 Firefox
	autogroup 3 Gajim
	autogroup 3 TelegramDesktop

Most cwm keybindings use `alt' which conflicts with emacs.  So I unbind
everything and re-bind most of the keys on the mod4 (super) key

	unbind-key all

	bind-key 4-Tab group-last
	bind-mouse C-3 menu-exec-wm
	bind-key C4-slash menu-window
	
eat up multimedia keys so they don't get seen by some programs (like
emacs or sam)

	bind-key XF86AudioLowerVolume true
	bind-key XF86AudioRaiseVolume true

control the playback

	bind-key XF86AudioPrev "amused prev"
	bind-key XF86AudioNext "amused next"
	bind-key XF86AudioPlay "amused toggle"
	bind-key XF86AudioStop "amused stop"

"gamemode" swiches the keyboard from my custom dvp-eu to an us querty
and vice-versa, and the mouse buttons too.  it's useful when playing
some games, hence the name, or when in need to share the keyboard with
someone else.

	bind-key 4-F5 "gamemode"

I don't have a dedicated key for screenshot on this machine, but
Scroll_Lock is not too awkward to press

	bind-key 4-Scroll_Lock	"sshot -c"
	bind-key 4S-Scroll_Lock	"sshot -cs"

manage the notifications

	bind-key 4-space "dunstctl close"
	bind-key 4S-space "dunstctl history-pop"
	bind-key 4-n "dunstctl context"

	bind-key 4-v window-vtile

	bind-key C4S-q quit

I'm using a custom keyboard layout based on the dvorak-programmer.
Thus, the upper row is not numbers, but symbols!

	# & { [ ( = + ) ] }
	bind-key 4-ampersand            group-only-1
	bind-key 4-braceleft            group-only-2
	bind-key 4-bracketleft          group-only-3
	bind-key 4-parenleft            group-only-4
	bind-key 4-equal                group-only-5
	bind-key 4-plus                 group-only-6
	bind-key 4-parenright           group-only-7
	bind-key 4-bracketright         group-only-8
	bind-key 4-braceright           group-only-9

move with shift

	bind-key S4-ampersand           window-movetogroup-1
	bind-key S4-braceleft           window-movetogroup-2
	bind-key S4-bracketleft         window-movetogroup-3
	bind-key S4-parenleft           window-movetogroup-4
	bind-key S4-equal               window-movetogroup-5
	bind-key S4-plus                window-movetogroup-6
	bind-key S4-parenright          window-movetogroup-7
	bind-key S4-bracketright        window-movetogroup-8
	bind-key S4-braceright          window-movetogroup-9
	bind-key S4-exclam              window-movetogroup-0

use ctrl to toggle visibility

	bind-key C4-ampersand            group-toggle-1
	bind-key C4-braceleft            group-toggle-2
	bind-key C4-bracketleft          group-toggle-3
	bind-key C4-parenleft            group-toggle-4
