# 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 `rio` (to provide an additional `/srv/riogkbd.*` file). *No guarantees, use at your own risk and blah. This isn't supposed to work with drawterm.* ## 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 * toggle "sticky" mode for current window All that with simple shortcuts. ## Installation and usage Run `mk install` in this repo. Apply `9front.diff` on your sources (`hg import --no-commit 9front.diff`), rebuild `rio`. To start `riow`, either through `riostart`, or by hand: window -scroll riow If you're *NOT* using [bar](https://git.sr.ht/~ft/bar), run with `-hide` as well. Modify `riow` to your own needs. ## Keys ``` Mod4-f toggle fullscreen for the current window Mod4-s toggle "sticky" mode for the current window Mod4-enter start a new window Mod4-[0..9] switch to a specific virtual desktop Mod4-shift-[0..9] move the current window to a specific virtual desktop Mod4-[↑↓←→] move the window (big steps) Mod4-shift-[↑↓←→] move the window (small steps) Mod4-ctrl-[↑↓←→] drag bottom-right of the window (big steps) Mod4-ctrl-shift-[↑↓←→] drag bottom-right of the window (small steps) Mod4-alt-[↑↓←→] drag top-left of the window (big steps) Mod4-alt-shift-[↑↓←→] drag top-left of the window (small steps) ``` ## Extras [Rio theming](http://ftrv.se/14) [bar](https://git.sr.ht/~ft/bar)
