Sick and tired of having no suitable window manager while working in Microsoft Windows.
Inspired by xmonad, scrotwm, dwm, windawesome, Actual Window Manager, python-windows-tiler, bug.n.
Built with clojure-clr, and ClojureClrEx for logging, pinvoke, and type building.
There is no suitable way to easily organize and recall large numbers of windows while working on Microsoft Windows. Alt-Tab fails, and moving a hand to the mouse interrupts flow. Support for virtual desktops in Windows is bad as well, especially for multiple monitors.
What is really needed is a way to easily tag and recall windows on demand, free from any concepts of virtual desktops, monitors or window layouts.
clojurewm will:
- provide an easy way to tag windows with any hotkey combination at runtime.
- immediately focus a tagged window whenever this hotkey is entered.
- not require a configuration file to set window tags.
- not hide any windows (e.g. virtual desktops).
- not tile any windows (use http://winsplit-revolution.com/home).
window : any opened window
hotkey : a key combination (e.g. Alt-1, Alt-Shift-T)
tag : a hotkey to which a window or windows are assigned.
Alt-Shift-T
Assign a hotkey tag to the currently focused window. The next key sequence
entered will used. Entering the hotkey again will recall all windows tagged
with that hotkey.
Alt-Shift-F
Fullscreen the current window, hiding and borders and title bar. Still in alpha,
doesn't work propertly for all applications, and behaves oddly on multiple
monitors.
Alt-J
Switch to the next window in the currently active tag.
Alt-K
Switch to the previous window in the currently active tag.
[user defined]
Activate tag and recall (bring to foreground) all windows with this tag.
Alt-Shift-Q
Quit clojurewm.
