.SH DESCRIPTION
.B evilwm
is a minimalist window manager based on aewm, extended to feature
many keyboard controls, and otherwise altered to be more friendly.
.PP
In
.BR evilwm ,
the focus follows the mouse pointer, and focus is not lost if
you stray onto the root window. The current window border is shaded
gold, with other windows left as a dark grey.
.PP
You can use the mouse to manipulate windows either by click/dragging
the 1 pixel border, or by holding down Alt and doing so anywhere in the
client window. The controls are:
.TP
Button 1
Move window.
.TP
Button 2
Resize window.
.TP
Button 3
Lower window.
.PP
Most keyboard controls are used by holding down Control and Alt, then
pressing a key. Available functions are:
.TP
Return
Spawn new terminal.
.TP
Escape
Delete current window. Hold Shift as well to force kill a client.
.TP
Insert
Lower current window.
.TP
H, J, K, L
Move window left, down, up or right (16 pixels). Holding Shift resizes the
window instead.
.TP
Y, U, B, N
Move window to top-left, top-right, bottom-left or
bottom-right of screen.
.TP
I
Show information about current window.
.TP
Equals
Maximise current window vertically (toggle).
.TP
X
Maximise current window (toggle).
.TP
D
Toggle visible state of docks (e.g., pagers and launch bars).
.PP
If compiled with virtual desktop support, these functions are also available:
.TP
F
Fix or unfix current window.
.TP
1--8
Switch virtual desktop.
.TP
Left
Previous virtual desktop.
.TP
Right
Next virtual desktop.
.TP
A
Switch to the most recently unmapped virtual desktop.
.PP
In addition to the above, Alt+Tab can be used to cycle through windows
on screen.
.PP
To make
.B evilwm
exit, you have to kill the process.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\-display \fIdisplay\fP
specifies the X display to run on.
.TP
\-term \fItermprog\fP
specifies an alternative program to run when spawning a new terminal (defaults
to xterm, or x\-terminal\-emulator in Debian). Separate arguments with
whitespace, and escape needed whitespace with a backslash. Remember that
special characters will also need to be protected from the shell.
.TP
\-fn \fIfontname\fP
specify a font to use when resizing or displaying window titles.
.TP
\-fg \fIforeground-colour\fP
frame colour of currently active window.
.TP
\-fc \fIfixed-colour\fP
frame colour of active fixed windows.
.TP
\-bg \fIbackground-colour\fP
frame colour of inactive windows.
.TP
\-bw \fIborderwidth\fP
width of window borders in pixels.
.TP
\-snap \fInum\fP
enable snap-to-border support. num gives the proximity in pixels to snap to.
.TP
\-mask1 \fImodifiers\fP, \-mask2 \fImodifiers\fP, \-altmask \fImodifier\fP
override the default keyboard modifiers used to grab keys for window manager
functionality.
\fImask1\fP is used for most keyboard controls (default: control+alt),
and \fImask2\fP is used for mouse button controls and cycling windows
(default: alt).
\fIaltmask\fP is used to modify the behaviour of certain controls
(default: shift).
Modifiers may be separated with + signs.
Valid modifiers are shift, lock, control, alt, mod1, mod2, mod3, mod4,
mod5.
.TP
\-app \fIname/class\fP
match an application by instance name and class (for help in finding
these, use the \fBxprop\fP tool to extract the \fIWM_CLASS\fP property).
Subsequent \fI\-geometry\fP, \fI\-dock\fP, \fI\-vdesk\fP and \fI\-fixed\fP
options will apply to this match.
.TP
\-g, -geometry \fIgeometry\fP
apply a geometry (using a standard X geometry string) to applications matching
the last
.I \-app.
.TP
\-dock
specify that application should be considered to be a dock, even if it lacks
the appropriate property.
.TP
\-v, -vdesk \fIvdesk\fP
specify a default virtual desktop for applications matching the last
.I \-app.
Note that desktops are numbered from 0.
.TP
\-f, -fixed
specify that application is to start with a fixed client window (\fI\-s\fP is
also accepted to be compatible with previous versions).
.TP
\-nosoliddrag
draw a window outline while moving or resizing.
.TP
\-V
print version number.
.PP
.B evilwm
will also read options, one per line, from a file called \fI.evilwmrc\fP
in the user's home directory.
Options listed in a configuration file should omit the leading dash.
Options specified on the command line override those found in the
configuration file.
