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.
|
|
|
|
Note, \$MODKEY is the Alt-key by default.
|
|
|
|
Let's go!
|
|
|
|
- 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.
|
|
- 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
|
|
with \$MODKEY-1.
|
|
- Select the new tag: \$MODKEY-2
|
|
- Select the floating area: \$MODKEY-space
|
|
- Open the programs menu: \$MODKEY-Control-p
|
|
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.
|
|
- Open the actions menu: \$MODKEY-Control-a
|
|
Rerun wmiirc by selecting 'wmiirc'.
|
|
- Working with mouse efficiently:
|
|
selecting a window: just click the desired window
|
|
move a window: press \$MODKEY-Button1Press
|
|
and resize a window: press \$MODKEY-Button3Press and resize it
|
|
(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
|
|
them at any time by pressing \$MODKEY-Control-a and selecting 'welcome'.
|
|
|
|
You should now take a look at the wmii(1) man page. An FAQ is available on
|
|
<http://wmii.de>.
