|
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-Return twice.
|
|
- Switch between the three windows: $MODKEY-j, $MODKEY-k,
|
|
$MODKEY-h, $MODKEY-l
|
|
If you prefer the mouse, then just move the pointer to
|
|
the desired window.
|
|
- Try the other column modes: $MODKEY-s for stack mode,
|
|
$MODKEY-m for max mode Press $MODKEY-d to return to default
|
|
mode.
|
|
- Create a new column with: $MODKEY-Shift-l
|
|
This moves the client right-wards.
|
|
- Tag the selected client with another tag: $MODKEY-Shift-2
|
|
IMPORTANT: before you do the 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-p
|
|
Type 'xclock' and press Enter.
|
|
- Move the xclock window: Press $MODKEY, left-click on the
|
|
window and, while holding the button down, move the cursor
|
|
around.
|
|
- Resize the xclock window: Press $MODKEY, right-click the
|
|
window and, while holding the button down, move the cursor
|
|
around.
|
|
- Open the actions menu: $MODKEY-a
|
|
Rerun wmiirc by selecting 'wmiirc'.
|
|
- We'll now have a look at the internal filesystem used by
|
|
wmii. Executing
|
|
wmiir ls /
|
|
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 ls /rbar/
|
|
will show you the content of the right half 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-a and
|
|
selecting 'welcome'.
|
|
|
|
You should now take a look at the wmii(1) man page. A FAQ is
|
|
available on <http://wmii.suckless.org>.
