Welcome to wmii, the non-wimp environment of the WMI Project.
This is a small step by step tutorial, intended to make you a little bit
familiar with wmii.
2006-03-16 10:24:04 +03:00
Note, \$MODKEY is the Alt-key by default.
2006-02-25 21:36:53 +03:00
Let's go!
2006-03-16 10:24:04 +03:00
- Start two xterms by pressing \$MODKEY-t twice.
- Switch between the three windows: \$MODKEY-j, \$MODKEY-k
You can also use \$MODKEY-Tab instead of \$MODKEY-j. If you prefer the mouse,
then just click the desired window.
2006-03-16 10:24:04 +03:00
- Create a new column with: \$MODKEY-n
- Tag the selected client with another tag: \$MODKEY-Shift-2
IMPORTANT: before you do next step, note that you can select the current tag
2006-03-16 10:24:04 +03:00
with \$MODKEY-1.
- Select the new tag: \$MODKEY-2
- Select the floating area: \$MODKEY-space
- Open the programs menu: \$MODKEY-Control-p
2006-02-25 21:36:53 +03:00
Type 'xclock' and press Enter.
- Resize the xclock window: left-click on the border and, while holding the
button down, move the cursor around.
- Move the xclock window: left-click on the title bar and, while holding
the button down, move the cursor around.
2006-03-16 10:24:04 +03:00
- Open the actions menu: \$MODKEY-Control-a
Rerun wmiirc by selecting 'wmiirc'.
2006-02-25 21:36:53 +03:00
- Working with mouse efficiently:
selecting a window: just click the desired window
2006-03-16 10:24:04 +03:00
move a window: press \$MODKEY-Button1Press
and resize a window: press \$MODKEY-Button3Press and resize it
2006-02-25 21:36:53 +03:00
(this can also be done by clicking the titlebar of the window/borders respectively)
- We'll now have a look at the internal filesystem used by wmii. Executing
wmiir read /
in the shell of the terminal will list all the files in the root directory.
Entries beginning with a d are directories.
If you are curious, you can now dig deeper into the directory trees. For instance,
wmiir read /bar/
will show you the content of the bar.

We hope that these steps gave you an idea of how wmii works. You can reread
2006-03-16 10:24:04 +03:00
them at any time by pressing \$MODKEY-Control-a and selecting 'welcome'.
2006-02-25 21:36:53 +03:00
You should now take a look at the wmii(1) man page. An FAQ is available on
<http://wmii.de>.
