 | Information about Sawfish |
Sawfish is definitely the best window manager for the X11 windowing
system. One reason is the small footprint in memory usage and another
reason is the possibility to extend its functionality using lisp. This
section contain a few extension I wrote to make sawfish as perfect as
possible. ;-)
All files listed here should go into a subdirectory
crunchy, which is located in one of the diretories
listed in the variable load-path, e.g.
~/.sawfish/lisp/crunchy/. To activate an
extension simply add a line to your ~/.sawfishrc:
(require 'crunchy.<extension>) and replace
<extension> with the name of the extension.
Some of these extension may not be that useful to you, but they are part
of my configuration.
- crunchy/
-
- bindings.jl
-
This file contains a set of global key bindings. Some of
these bindings define shortcuts for moving and resizing
windows. They are based on the keys 'H', 'J', 'K', 'L'.
- keymaps.jl
-
This file defines two keymaps for resizing and navigating
windows over workspaces and for requesting help about sawfish
functions and variables.
- run.jl
-
Defines a structure of two functions for executing other
applications. One if these functions run a new application or
focus the window of an already running instance. The second
function runs a new instance of an application or toogle the
iconify state of an already running instance. An existing
instance is identified by its window name.
- corner.jl
-
The defined structure adds an attribute to the windows
matcher dialog, which provides the possiblity to
automatically dock new windows to one of the screen
corners. Additionally an offset may be specified and a
boolean flag can indicate if the position should be fixed or
not.
-
remote-terminal.jl
-
This structure provides the possiblity to open remote
shells. The user may configure a list of hosts, which will be
used for completion.
