fwm

wmutils scripts to be used by themselves to provide a full environment or alongside a sane window manager that has minimal or no EWMH support.

Dependencies:

• core
• opt
• mmutils

Known good WMs:

• cwm
• glazier

Optional:

• txtw: for calculating menu width
• sxhkd: binding of hotkeys
• dmenu: for menu selections
• xrectsel: mouse placement of new windows

Install

Add cloned directory to your $PATH or copy/link scripts to a location in $PATH.

adjust

Adjusts position of window in a direction by the $JUMP amount set in fwmrc.

autotile

Quick and dirty script to autotile a monitor using a particular tile method.

closer

Focuses the closest window in a given direction. If no window is currently focused, mouse x y coordinates are used to find the closest window.

cmdmenu

Mouse centric workflow menu. Create new terminals, move, resize and delete windows and their processes. Control clipboard and load from clipboard. Hardcoded font size for now.

drun

Open programs using dmenu either as a bar or as a floating window placed in the center of current screen. Uses my zsh config to pull full $PATH for program selection.

envreact

Dynamic program launching / stopping based on other programs. Reads $HOME/.autoreact. Add envreact & to your xinitrc to load on X11 start.

Example configuration file:

cwm_run MidairCE
snip_run obs
picom_end MidairCE Tribes.exe DOOM ShadowOfTheTombRaider

focus

Focus a window id, or cycle through the ordered stack of windows on screen.

fwmrc

Sets various environment variables like colours, gaps, borderwidth etc.

group

CWM-like group script to hide and show windows.

invert

Invert window stacking order for windows matching the given search string. See wid.

move

Move and position windows on a multihead setup. Follows mouse pointer for monitor information if no monitor is given.

sshmenu

dmenu populated list of hostnames to connect to. Defaults to using mosh, with ssh as backup.

under

Prints the id of the window currently underneath the cursor. If no window is found and has an argument passed to it, the given command will be executed. Useful for running dmenu scripts based on selection of the root window. You'll need to use the following example in your sxhkd if you want to bind to the mouse:

~button3
    under wmenu

tile

Tile windows on a given screen in a variety of manners. Tiling logic still under development.

watcher

A window id event watcher wrapper around wew to provide added functionality:

• sloppy focus
• window placement
• autogrouping of windows

Modify to meet your needs.

Add watcher & to your xinitrc to load on X11 start.

Autogrouping is possible by populating $HOME/.autogroup with WM_CLASS and a group:

2 qutebrowser
3 discord
4 gl

wid

Find any visible window id whose WM_NAME or WM_CLASS properties that fuzzy match a given string.

wmenu

dmenu selection menu for visible windows. Functions either as a bar, floating window based on mouse location, or as a floating window placed in the center of current screen.
