The id of the currently focused window is stored in the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW
property of the root window. This can be used for example to retrieve the
-title of the currently active window with xprop(1) and grep(1):

A window can be focused by sending a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW client message
-to the root window. For example, using wmctrl to send the message
+to the root window. For example, using
+.Xr wmctrl 1
+to send the message
(assuming 0x4a0000b is the id of the window to be focused):

Windows can be closed by sending a _NET_CLOSE_WINDOW client message
-to the root window. For example, using wmctrl to send the message
+to the root window. For example, using
+.Xr wmctrl 1

(assuming 0x4a0000b is the id of the window to be closed):

.Pp
Windows can be floated and un-floated by adding or removing the
_NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE atom from the _NET_WM_STATE property of the window.
This can be achieved by sending a _NET_WM_STATE client message to the
root window. For example, the following toggles the floating state of
-a window using wmctrl to send the message (assuming 0x4a0000b is the
-id of the window floated or un-floated):
+a window using
+.Xr wmctrl 1
+to send the message (assuming 0x4a0000b is the id of the window floated
+or un-floated):
.Bd -literal -offset indent
-$ wmctrl -i -r 0x4a0000b -b toggle,_NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE
+$ wmctrl \-i \-r 0x4a0000b \-b toggle,_NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE
.Ed
.Pp
Floating windows can also be resized and moved by sending a
_NET_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW client message to the root window. For example,
-using wmctrl to send the message (assuming 0x4a0000b is the id of
+using
+.Xr wmctrl 1
+to send the message (assuming 0x4a0000b is the id of
the window to be resize/moved):

+$ wmctrl \-i \-r 0x4a0000b \-e 0,100,50,640,480

This moves the window to (100,50) and resizes it to 640x480.
