 Posted: Sun Jun 13, 2004 9:09 pm Post subject: Any FVWM Gurus? |
 |
|
I've started configuring fvwm and have a few questions. I've googled but can't seem to find anything relevent. I currently am using a 4x1 workspace.
[1] I would like to use the wheel on my wheel mouse to switch right and left between virtual desktops like Fluxbox does. What are the commands to put in $HOME/.fvm2rc?
[2] If I have an application open in the leftmost virtual desktop and I am currently in the right most desktop, how can I click on the taskbar entry for that application in the leftmost virtual desktop and get it to open? What are the commands to put in $HOME/.fvm2rc?
[3] How can I stop desktop switching by mousing to the edge? This kind of depends on getting 2 answered though as I need to be able to switch.
TIA.  |

I don't have a taskbar so I use the FvwmPager module for that.

These are my settings:
EdgeResistance 15 100
EdgeThickness 0
You should check the man page for those commands, there are a lot of options related to the edge stuff (like desktop switching if you're moving a window).

I don't know what you want to do in [2], do you want to move the window from the first desk to the current one? Then you'll need the MoveToDesk function, if it's called without arguments it'll move the window to the current desk...
If you want a windows started on that desk, you'll need StartsOnDesk...
Hope I didn't misunderstand you...

Thanks for the reply theBlackDragon, it's kind of tough to explain as I don't know all the fvwm lingo. Basically I have 1 virtual desktop that is 4x1. I don't use the pager.
| Code: |
*-----------*-----------*-----------*-----------*
| | | | |
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| | xterm | I'M HERE | firefox |
*-----------*-----------*-----------*-----------*
|
Say I'm running firefox in workspace 4, an xterm in workspace 2 and I'm currently in workspace 3. The taskbar correctly shows lynx and firefox but clicking on either entry on the taskbar will not take me to that workspace or that application, I have to go there manually with the mouse wheel (or keyboard). TIA |

You'll probably have to write a function and bind it to the leftclick command of your taskbar, but I don't have an idea about how to do that, but I hope I gave you an idea about where to look...
For specifics you could try asking in the "official" fvwm thread, or in #fvwm on irc.freenode.net.
