What are exwm's default keybindings?

Open 0atman opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

TLDR: There is a default config exwm-config-example, which I am using, so shouldn't the keybindings in there be documented?

Hi friends. I'm LOVING exwm, DESPITE having to trial-and-error the keybindings.

I bet that my difficulty is because the sort of emacs gurus to run exwm know about describe-key and other black arts that I, a Doom emacs user, have yet to find out.

Here's what I've found so far:

  • s-r exwm-reset
  • s-w interactive workspace switch
  • s-[0-9] change workspace
  • s-& run in background (THIS ESSENTIAL APP LAUNCHER TOOK ME HOURS TO FIND OMG)

There are also some mouse bindings? super + left and right seem to resize floating windows.

Where's all this documented? Thank you!

Did you check the wiki? At first glance most of these are listed there.

Thank you for replying! I did indeed check the wiki, and while there are SOME listed there, if you look at the introduction to this section it says:

Global key bindings can be defined by customizing exwm-input-global-keys. By default there is no global key biding. Key bindings in the following table are recommended however

(emphasis mine)

Which just adds to my confusion!
