NAME

       mwmrc - The M*tif Window Manager configuration file

DESCRIPTION

       The  LessTif  window  manager  mwm  supports  both  a  global  configuration file /etc/X11/mwm/system.mwmrc and a per-user configation file
       ~/.mwmrc.

STRUCTURE

       Each mwm configuration file consist of blocks of bindings.  Each block consists of a block type keyword,  a  name  and  a  set  of  entries
       between curly braces (`{' and '}').

       An exclamation mark (`!') introduces a comment. Comments extend to the end of the line.

Block types
       There are three types of blocks:

	      Menu bindings

	      Button bindings

	      Key bindings

Menu bindings
       Menu  bindings are introduced by the Menu keyword.  The generic form of the entries is label mnemonic accelerator function .  Both mnemonic
       and accelerator may be empty.  For example:
	      "Foo bar" _R   Alt<Key>F5     f.restore

Button bindings
       Button bindings are introduced by the Buttons keyword.  The entries each are Button name Context Function .  For example:
	      <Btn3Down>     icon|frame     f.post_wmenu

Key bindings
       Key bindings are very similar to button bindings.  The entries each are Key name Context Function .  For example:
	      Alt<Key>Tab    root|icon|window	 f.next_key

Label
       A label is either a plain string, or a bitmap. Bitmaps are indicated as "@" followed by the filename.  For example:
	      mailer @fortytwo.bmp

Mnemonic
       A mnemonic is an underscore ("_") followed by a single character.  For example:
	      _M

Accelerator
       An accelerator is a key name.

Button name
       A button name is Btn followed by the number (1..5) and an action (Up, Down, Click, Click2); for example:
	      Btn2Click

Context
       A context is a single string consisting of bar (`|') separated object names (root, icon,  menub,  minimizeb,  maximizeb	,  window,  title,
       frame, border); for example:
	      icon|title

Function
       A  function  is	a  string  starting  with  "f.".  The  functions  are:	f.beep, f.circle_down, f.circle_up, f.desk, f.exec, f.focus_color,
       f.focus_key, f.goto_page, f.kill, f.lower, f.maximize, f.menu, f.minimize, f.move, f.next_cmap, f.next_key, f.nop,  f.normalize,  f.normal-
       ize_and_raise,	f.pack_icons,	f.pass_keys,   f.post_wmenu,  f.prev_cmap,  f.prev_key,  f.quit_mwm,  f.raise,	f.raise_lower,	f.refresh,
       f.refresh_win, f.resize, f.restart, f.restore, f.restore_and_raise, f.screen,  f.send_msg,  f.separator,  f.set_behavior,  f.title,  f.tog-
       gle_page, f.window_list.
