WinCommand(1x)
NAME
WinCommand - AfterStep module for choosing and manipulating windows
based on patterns
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
DESCRIPTION
WinCommand is a command line tool which allows you to select windows
based on their name and to then manipulate them in various ways.
Actions currently supported are: "center", "center jump", "iconify",
"jump", "kill", "move", "resize" and "sendtodesk".
DEFAULTS
The default pattern is "", meaning all windows will be selected.
All other default-values depend on the action you would like WinCommand
to take. If more than one action is specified, default-values are set
depending on the last action specified.
ACTIONS
- center
- Place matching windows into the center of the screen.
- center jump:
Places first window that matches into the center of the screen and jumps to it.- iconify:
Iconifies matching windows.- jump:
Jumps to the first window which matches.- kill:
Kills all matching windows.- move:
Moves all matching windows to x/y. x and y are specified using the -x and -y flags.- resize:
Resize all matching windows. The two parameters width and height are specified using the -width and -height flags.- send_to_desk:
Send all matching windows to desk specified with the -new_desk flag.
OPTIONS
- -all
- Operate on all windows which match the given pattern. This is set by default unless the action is either "jump" or "center jump".
- -alldesks
Windows on all desks will be taken into account. This is set by default if action is either "jump" or "center jump".- -desk
Windows on the whole desk will be taken into account.- -x/-y
These are required when issuing the move-command.- -width/-height
These are required whenever you want to resize windows.- Examples WinCommand -pattern term iconify
- This command will iconify all terminals. Since the specified pattern is a regular expression, something like this also works:
- WinCommand -pattern "(term)|(moz)" iconify
- This will iconify all terminals and mozilla-browser windows.
- WinCommand -pattern xmm jump
- will jump to your xmms. In this situation, it's far more advisable to use GWCommand though.
- It is probably not a good idea to delete windows while windows are being arranged.
