this is w9wm window manager version 0.4.2 with these changes:

  1. Open new windows automatically instead of just showing a cursor.
  2. Hotkey support for virtual desktops and system menu items. (See usage below, some code borrowed from 999).
  3. Alt + left click desktop for virtual desk menu.
  4. Middle click desktop for applications menu from $HOME/.w9wmrc.
  5. Right click desktop for system menu.

HOTKEYS:

Alt+(1-9) - switches virtual desktops

Alt+Tab, (Alt+Shift+Tab) - switch applications on same desk

Alt+r - exec dmenu

Alt+t - exec terminal

Alt+z - move window

Alt+x - resize window

BUGS: (To be looked at in future)

after starting w9wm, hotkeys arent working until selecting "New" from system menu or opening a program from applications menu.


about w9wm:

w9wm is an improved version of 9wm, the excellent 8-1/2 window manager emulation. It supports virtual screens as well as keybindings. It is free software, under 9wm license although I would prefer to ship it under the GNU GPL (as most of w9wm's code is borrowed from 9wm, I have to keep the same license). Please have a look at README for more information. Current stable version is 0.4.2
