# riow Some kind of window management experiments with rio. What does it do? It gives you virtual desktops to move window around to, by pressing keys, like i3. The window management code is written in `rc` and is done by reading and writing `/dev/wsys` for the most part. There are minimal changes to `kbdfs` (to add support for an extra key) and `rio` (to provide an additional `/srv/riogkbd.*` file). *No guarantees, use at your own risk and blah.* ## Features * virtual desktops from 1 to 0 * switch between desktops * move windows between desktops * toggle fullscreen on the current window * start a new window * "sticky" programs, by default `stats`, `kbmap` etc are shown on every desktop All that with simple shortcuts. ## Installation and usage Run `mk install` in this repo. Apply `9front.diff` on your sources, rebuild `kbdfs` and `rio`. You also need to rebuild your kernel after so it picks up new `kbdfs`, reboot. The `super/windows/meta/mod` keys are now called `glenda` here, duh. To start the actual window management thingy, open a new window in `rio` and type `riow < /srv/riogkbd*`. See *Keys* section and it you're happy with everything you can start `riow` automatically next time. Or not, you can use it when you need it. Modify `riow` to your own needs. ## Keys ``` G-f toggle fullscreen for the current window G-enter start a new window G-[0..9] switch to a specific virtual desktop G-shift-[0..9] move the current window to a specific virtual desktop ```
