This directory contains a list of convenience utilities for awesome WM.
|
|
|
|
## remember_positions.lua
|
|
By default, awesome WM doesn't remember positions of your floating windows when you cycle through different layouts. This can be a problem both to the users who accidentally switched layouts as well as those wishing to temporarily rearrange windows and come back to original layout once they're done with their work. It's also a problem for those reloading their awesome configuration, since it forgets original window positions as well. This script fixes that. To take advantage of it, install it by adding the following line to your `rc.lua`:
|
|
|
|
load_script("utils/remember_positions", true)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## ondemand_tile.lua
|
|
Move floating window into any corner/tile via convenient shortcuts, i.e:
|
|
|
|
local positions = require('utils.ondemand_tile')
|
|
|
|
-- later in code
|
|
awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "Down", function (c) position.at('bottom', c) end),
|
|
awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "Left", function (c) position.at('left', c) end),
|
|
awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "Right", function (c) position.at('right', c) end),
|
|
awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "Up", function (c) position.at('top', c) end),
|
|
|
|
Positions can be specified as a table `{x, y, w, h}` or as a string to identify one of existing presets:
|
|
|
|
left
|
|
right
|
|
top
|
|
bottom
|
|
top_left
|
|
top_right
|
|
bottom_left
|
|
bottom_right
|
|
fullscreen
|
|
center_pad
|
|
left_third
|
|
middle_third
|
|
right_third
|
|
left_two_thirds
|
|
right_two_thirds
|
|
middle_two_thirds
|
|
|
|
There is also a compound-resize option in positions module. It stacks previous tiling actions on top of each other in an intuitive manner. For example, when the window is on the `left` half of the screen, sending `down` event will move it to `bottom_left` position. In this way you can iterate through most of the presets in an intuitive manner with just 4 shortcuts:
|
|
|
|
awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "Down", function (c) position.compound('bottom', c) end),
|
|
awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "Left", function (c) position.compound('left', c) end),
|
|
awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "Right", function (c) position.compound('right', c) end),
|
|
awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "Up", function (c) position.compound('top', c) end),
|
