It doesn't really do +anything new to the user experience. It is pretty stupid, but can +probably be useful for some people. + +Unlike most window managers, however, it is not a reparenting window +manager. This means it might be able to run simultaneously with +another window manager if you just want to get at the key bindings to +manipulate windows. If this will work or not depends pretty much on +what the other window manager thinks about stuff happening to windows +without it looking. + +== Usage == + +With the the default configuration, use it like this: + + Mod1 key + mouse buttons: + + 1 move + 2 raise + 3 resize + + Mod2 key + key: + + r raise + x maximize + m maximize vertically + h move left + j move down + k move up + l move right + H resize left + J resize down + K resize up + L resize right + Return start terminal + +If you don't like the default key bindings, border width, et cetera, +look in the config.h file, change and recompile. + +== More information & Contact == + +Please see: + + http://hack.org/mc/hacks/mcwm/ + +To contact me, write to: + + Michael Cardell Widerkrantz <mc@hack.org> + |
