scrotwm<br>
language to do any configuration. It was written by hackers for hackers<br>
and it strives to be small, compact and fast.<br>
<br>
+ When scrotwm starts up, it reads settings from its configuration file,<br>
+ scrotwm.conf. See the CONFIGURATION FILES section below.<br>

scrotwm is very simple in its use. Most of the actions are initiated via<br>
keybindings. The current keybindings are described below:<br>
<br>
- M-S-[Return] Spawn a new terminal.<br>
- M-p Menu.<br>
- M-S-q Quit.<br>
- M-q Restart scrotwm.<br>
- M-[Space] Cycle layout.<br>
- M-S-[Space] Reset layout.<br>
- M-h Shrink master area.<br>
- M-l Grow master area.<br>
- M-, Add windows to master area.<br>
- M-. Remove windows from master area.<br>
- M-[Return] Move current window to master area.<br>
- M-j Focus next window in workspace.<br>
- M-[Tab] Focus next window in workspace.<br>
- M-k Focus previous window in workspace.<br>
- M-S-[Tab] Focus previous window in workspace.<br>
- M-m Focus on main window in workspace.<br>
- M-S-j Swap with next window in workspace.<br>
- M-S-k Swap with previous window in workspace.<br>
- M-b Toggle status bar in all workspaces.<br>
- M-S-x Destroy current window in workspace.<br>
- M-[Number] Switch to workspace [Number].<br>
- M-S-[Number] Move current window to workspace [Number].<br>
- M-[RighArrow] Switch to next workspace with a window in it.<br>
- M-[LeftArrow] Switch to previous workspace with a window in it.<br>
- M1 Focus window.<br>

+ scrotwm first tries to open the user specific file, ~/.scrotwm.conf. If<br>
+ that file is unavailable, it then tries to open the global configuration<br>
+ file /etc/scrotwm.conf.<br>
+<br>
+ The format of the file is <keyword> = <setting>. For example:<br>
+<br>
+ color_focus = red<br>
+<br>
+ Enabling or disabling an option is done by using 1 or 0 respectively.<br>

- This file contains global settings.<br>
-<br>
- scrotwm first tries to open the user specific file. If that file is un-<br>
- available it tries to open the global file next.<br>
+ The file supports the following keywords:<br>
<br>
- The format of the file is <keyword> = <setting>. E.g. color_focus = red.<br>
+ color_focus Border color of the currently focussed win-<br>
+ dow.<br>
+ color_unfocus Border color of unfocussed windows.<br>
+ bar_enabled Enable or disable status bar.<br>
+ bar_border[x] Color of the status bar border in screen x.<br>
+ bar_color[x] Color of the status bar window in screen x.<br>
+ bar_font_color[x] Color of the font in status bar in screen x.<br>
+ bar_font Status bar font.<br>
+ bar_action External script that populates additional<br>
+ information in the status bar, such as bat-<br>
+ tery life.<br>
+ bar_delay Update frequency, in seconds, of external<br>
+ script that populates the status bar.<br>
+ spawn_term External application that gets spawned when<br>
+ M-S-<Return> is used.<br>
+ dialog_ratio Some applications have dialogue windows that<br>
+ are too small to be useful. This ratio is<br>
+ the screen size to what they will be re-<br>
+ sized. For example, 0.6 is 60% of the phys-<br>
+ ical screen size.<br>
+ region Allocates a custom region, removing any au-<br>
+ todetected regions which occupy the same<br>
+ space on the screen. Defined in the format<br>
+ screen[<idx>]:WIDTHxHEIGHT+X+Y, e.g.<br>
+ screen[1]:800x1200+0+0.<br>
+ screenshot_enabled Enable or disable screenshot capability.<br>
+ screenshot_app Set to the script that will take screen-<br>
+ shots. It will be called with "full" or<br>
+ "window" as parameter 1 to indicate what<br>
+ screenshot action is expected. The script<br>
+ shall handle those cases accordingly.<br>
+ term_width Set a preferred minimum width for the termi-<br>
+ nal If this value is greater than 0, scrotwm<br>
+ will attempt to adjust the font sizes in the<br>
+ terminal to keep the terminal width above<br>
+ this number as the window is resized. Only<br>
+ <font color="#ff40ff">xterm(1)</font> is currently supported. The<br>
+ <font color="#ff40ff">xterm(1)</font> binary must not be setuid or set-<br>
+ gid, which it is by default on most systems.<br>
+ Users may need to set spawn term to use an<br>
+ alternate copy of the <font color="#ff40ff">xterm(1)</font> binary with-<br>
+ out the setgid bit set.<br>
+<br>
