NAME
miwm - a minimal appearance, full-function window manager
SYNOPSIS
miwm
DESCRIPTION
MIWM is Ben Wise’s MInimal Window Manager. It is pronounced ’my whim’.
The goal of miwm is to be a fully functional window manager, while
retaining a very spare (Zen or Spartan, as you please) appearance and
command-set.
WARNING
This man page is VERY MUCH under construction. It is not complete, and
blatantly contains leftover pieces of the man page I used as a
template. Do not rely on anything you find here.
COMMANDS
The notation for describing commands is that Mouse-1-frame means
’button 1 click on frame’, C-Mouse-3-root means ’control button 3 click
on root’,
Mouse-1-frame
Raise.
Mouse-2-frame
Move. Mouse-2-root Select virtual workspace.
Mouse-3-frame
Hide.
Filenames passed to
miwm can be directories or deleted files. If a directory that
is not deleted is passed to miwm, then the deleted files or
directories in it will be restored; if the recursive option is
specified, then all deleted files or directories in any of its
children will be restored as well.
The shell wildcards * and ?, as well as shell brace notation using [
and ], are interpreted correctly by miwm. It is possible to pass
wildcards to the program without the wildcards being intercepted by the
shell by setting noglob (in csh) or by quoting the wildcards. To
delete a file that actually has a wildcard in its name, you must
precede the quoted wildcard with a quoted backslash.
If no files are specified on the command line, miwm goes into
interactive mode. In interactive mode, the user is prompted to enter
files to be restored, one file per line. Typing a carriage return on
an empty prompt line exits the program.
Wildcards and quoting backslashes can be entered directly at the prompt
without any shell interference (which is the main reason there is an
interactive mode).
OPTIONS
Miwm No command-line options.
KNOWN BUGS
The code is too complicated. No icon support.
