Built-ins:
- Mod1-RClick Focus the clicked window, but suppress raising
- Mod1-RClick-drag Focus the clicked window, suppress raising, resizing the window from its nearest corner until drag completes
- Mod1-LClick Focus and raise the clicked window
- Mod1-LClick-drag Focus and raise the clicked window, moving the window until the drag completes
-* Mod1-l Switch to virtual desktop to the right (if exists)
-* Mod1-h Switch to virtual desktop to the left (if exists)
- Mod1-j Lower focused window, if the focused window is in "allscreen" mode it will simply be fullscreened first without lowering
- Mod1-k [-k [-k] Raise focused window [a second k raises and fullscreens the window [a third k raises and "allscreens" without a visible border
- [-k] [-k]] [a fourth k raises and fullscreens across all heads [a fifth k raises and "allscreens" across all heads]]]
- Mod1-Shift-k Shelve focused window and switch to the shelf context
- Mod1-Shift-j Migrate the focused window from the shelf to the last focused virtual desktop, switch to that virtual desktop, and focus the migrated window
-* Mod1-Shift-l Migrate the focused window to the virtual desktop to the right (if exists), keeping the window focused
-* Mod1-Shift-h Migrate the focused window to the virtual desktop to the left (if exists), keeping the window focused
- Mod1-v Create a new virtual desktop and switch to it
- Mod1-Shift-v Create a new virtual desktop, move the focused window to it, and switch to it
-* Mod1-Space Switch to the most recently used virtual desktop (like Mod1-Tab but for virtual desktops)
-* Mod1-Shift-Space Switch to the most recently used virtual desktop, bringing the focused window with
- Mod1-` Alternate between shelf (if populated) and virtual desktop contexts
- Mod1-s Shelve the focused window without switching to the shelf, adopting the newly shelved window as the focused window within the shelf
-* Mod1-Tab Focus and raise the next window in the current context (shelf or virtual desktop), the focused window is not 'committed' as the MRU window
- until Mod1 is released, so you may peruse intermediate windows without affecting the order until releasing Mod1. In multihead configurations
- the next window selection is confined to the current screen.
- Mod1-Shift-Tab Identical to Mod1-Tab except switches to the MRU window on another screen in a multihead configuration
- Mod1-d Request the client destroy the focused window, or destroy the current virtual desktop when no windows exist on it
- Mod1-Shift-d XKillClient the focused window (useful for misbehaving clients)
- Mod1-Enter Alternate between full-screen and windowed dimensions for the focused window
- Mod1-[ [-[] Reconfigure the focused window to fill the left half of the screen [ left bottom quarter of screen ]
- Mod1-] [-]] Reconfigure the focused window to fill the right half of the screen [ right top quarter of screen ]
- Mod1-Shift-[ [-[] Reconfigure the focused window to fill the top half of the screen [ top left quarter of screen ]
- Mod1-Shift-] [-]] Reconfigure the focused window to fill the bottom half of the screen [ bottom right quarter of screen ]
- Mod1-Semicolon Toggle monitoring overlays (when active vwm becomes a compositing manager, which is slower)
- Mod1-Apostrophe Discard the "snowflakes" region of the focused window's monitoring overlay
- Mod1-Right Increase monitoring frequency (when overlays are active, too high a frequency can overload X)
- Mod1-Left Decrease monitoring frequency, the lowest setting halts monitoring)
- Mod1-Esc-Esc-Esc Exit vwm (if vwm is the child of your X server, X exits too, so your X clients all lose their connection and die.
- However, your clients are running under screen, and if your X server didn't exit, they won't lose their X connection.)
-
- *'s above indicate commands which initiate an MRU-update to be committed on the next Mod1 release. One may traverse windows and desktops without affecting
- their MRU order by returning to the original initiating window and/or desktop before releasing Mod1. This permits one to do quite a lot of things
- under a single, long-duration Mod1 press only committing to a potentially different focused window/desktop at the very end.
- Think of the Mod1 release as a transaction commit when coupled with the *'d commands.
