1 .TH 2WM 1 2wm-VERSION 2 .SH NAME 3 2wm \- stereo window manager 4 .SH SYNOPSIS 5 .B 2wm 6 .RB [ \-v ] 7 .SH DESCRIPTION 8 2wm is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in a master and 9 stacking area. The master area contains the windows which currently need most 10 attention, whereas the stacking area contains all other windows. Dialog windows 11 are always managed floating, regardless of the mode applied. Each window can be 12 made floating on demand. 13 .P 14 There are no workspaces and no tags. Instead there are two sets of windows, the 15 currently attached windows and the currently detached windows. Each window can 16 be detached and reattached, and you can invert the view to attach all detached 17 windows and to detach all attached windows. 18 .P 19 2wm draws a small border around windows to indicate the focus state. 20 .SH OPTIONS 21 .TP 22 .B \-v 23 prints version information to standard output, then exits. 24 .SH USAGE 25 .SS Keyboard commands 26 .TP 27 .B Mod1-Shift-Return 28 Start 29 .BR xterm (1). 30 .TP 31 .B Mod1-j 32 Focus next window. 33 .TP 34 .B Mod1-k 35 Focus previous window. 36 .TP 37 .B Mod1-Return 38 Zooms/cycles current window to/from master area, toggles maximization of current floating window. 39 .TP 40 .B Mod1-g 41 Grow master area. 42 .TP 43 .B Mod1-s 44 Shrink master area. 45 .TP 46 .B Mod1-a 47 Attach most recently detached window. 48 .TP 49 .B Mod1-d 50 Detach focused window. 51 .TP 52 .B Mod1-i 53 Increase the number of windows in the master area. 54 .TP 55 .B Mod1-r 56 Decrease the number of windows in the master area. 57 .TP 58 .B Mod1-Shift-c 59 Close focused window. 60 .TP 61 .B Mod1-space 62 Invert view, toggles detached with attached windows. 63 .TP 64 .B Mod1-Shift-space 65 Toggle focused window between floating and non-floating state. 66 .TP 67 .B Mod1-Shift-q 68 Quit 2wm. 69 .SS Mouse commands 70 .TP 71 .B Mod1-Button1 72 Move current floating window while dragging. 73 .TP 74 .B Mod1-Button2 75 Zoom current window to the master area, toggles maximization of current floating window. 76 .TP 77 .B Mod1-Button3 78 Resize current floating window while dragging. 79 .SH CUSTOMIZATION 80 2wm is customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source 81 code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple. 82 .SH SEE ALSO 83 .BR dmenu (1) , 84 .BR sbar (1) 85 .SH BUGS 86 Java applications which use the XToolkit/XAWT backend may draw grey windows 87 only. The XToolkit/XAWT backend breaks ICCCM-compliance in recent JDK 1.5 and early 88 JDK 1.6 versions, because it assumes a reparenting window manager. As a workaround 89 you can use JDK 1.4 (which doesn't contain the XToolkit/XAWT backend) or you 90 can set the following environment variable (to use the older Motif 91 backend instead): 92 .BR AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit .
