wincommand
WinCommand(1x) AfterStep X11 window manager WinCommand(1x)
NAME
WinCommand - AfterStep module for choosing and manipulating windows based on patterns
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
DESCRIPTION
WinCommand is a command line tool which allows you to select windows based on their name and to then manipulate them in various ways.
Actions currently supported are: "center", "center jump", "iconify", "jump", "kill", "move", "resize" and "sendtodesk".
DEFAULTS
The default pattern is "", meaning all windows will be selected.
All other default-values depend on the action you would like WinCommand to take. If more than one action is specified, default-values are
set depending on the last action specified.
ACTIONS
center
Place matching windows into the center of the screen.
center jump:
Places first window that matches into the center of the screen and jumps to it.
iconify:
Iconifies matching windows.
jump:
Jumps to the first window which matches.
kill:
Kills all matching windows.
move:
Moves all matching windows to x/y. x and y are specified using the -x and -y flags.
resize:
Resize all matching windows. The two parameters width and height are specified using the -width and -height flags.
send_to_desk:
Send all matching windows to desk specified with the -new_desk flag.
OPTIONS
-all
Operate on all windows which match the given pattern. This is set by default unless the action is either "jump" or "center jump".
-alldesks
Windows on all desks will be taken into account. This is set by default if action is either "jump" or "center jump".
-desk
Windows on the whole desk will be taken into account.
-x/-y
These are required when issuing the move-command.
-width/-height
These are required whenever you want to resize windows.
Examples WinCommand -pattern term iconify
This command will iconify all terminals. Since the specified pattern is a regular expression, something like this also works:
WinCommand -pattern "(term)|(moz)" iconify
This will iconify all terminals and mozilla-browser windows.
WinCommand -pattern xmm jump
will jump to your xmms. In this situation, it's far more advisable to use GWCommand though.
It is probably not a good idea to delete windows while windows are being arranged.
