Add a setting for the default window size(s)

Open 1over137 opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

This scrollable tilling scheme seems to work really well with my super-ultrawide monitor. However, I feel that the smallest default width (seems to be about 30~40% of the screen width) is a bit too large, and I don't find anything in the settings to change it. It would be great if I can choose the sizes given by ctrl-r.

You can change the step widths like this (using screen width ratios):

dconf write /org/gnome/shell/extensions/paperwm/cycle-width-steps "[0.1, 0.3, 0.5]"

You can also specify static widths, but the ratios and exacts can't be mixed at the moment:

dconf write /org/gnome/shell/extensions/paperwm/cycle-width-steps "[300, 500, 700]"

There's also <Super>+/- which increases/decreases the window width 10% (IIRC).

Thanks, this works well. Is this documented anywhere?

Nope, doesn't look like it :p

Might be good as an example in https://github.com/paperwm/PaperWM/#using-dconf-editor-to-modify-settings (or the wiki, which is pretty bare bones at the moment).
