NAME


9wm - 8-1/2-like Window Manager for X

SYNOPSIS


9wm [ -grey ] [ -version ] [ -font fname ] [ -term termprog ] [ exit|restart ]

DESCRIPTION


9wm is a window manager for X which attempts to emulate the window management policies of
Plan 9's 8-1/2 window manager.

The -grey option makes the background light grey, as does 8-1/2. Use this option for
maximum authenticity. -font fname sets the font in 9wm's menu to fname, overriding the
default. -term termprog specifies an alternative program to run when the New menu item is
selected. -version prints the current version on standard error, then exits.

To make 9wm exit, you have to run 9wm exit on the command line. There is no ``exit'' menu
item.

9wm is click-to-type: it has a notion of the current window, which is usually on top, and
always has its border darkened. Characters typed at the keyboard go to the current
window, and mouse clicks outside the current window are swallowed up by 9wm. To make
another window the current one, click on it with button 1. Unlike other X window
managers, 9wm implements `mouse focus': mouse events are sent only to the current window.

A menu of window operations is available by pressing button 3 outside the current window.
The first of these, New, attempts to spawn a 9term process (or xterm if 9term is not
available).

The next four menu items are Reshape, Move, Delete, and Hide. All of the operations
change the cursor into a target, prompting the user to click button 3 on one of the
windows to select it for the operation. At this stage, clicking button 1 or 2 will abort
the operation. Otherwise, if the operation was Resize, the user is prompted to sweep out
the new outline with button 3. If it was Move, the user should keep the button held down
after the initial click that selected the window, and drag the window to the right place
before releasing. In either case, button 1 or 2 will abort the operation.

If the Delete operation is selected, the window will be deleted when the button is
released. This typically kills the client that owns the window. The Hide operation just
makes the window invisible. While hidden, the window's name appears on the bottom of the
button 3 menu. Selecting that item brings the window back (unhides it). This operation
replaces the iconification feature provided by other window managers.
