Re: cwm questions

Hey Dell,

I am working with cwm since OpenBSD 5.8

I inserted the command you mentioned in my
~/.cwmrc and restarted cwm with CMS-r
(The default for restarting cwm)

CM-r works as expected and moves the window,
the mouse cursor is in, to the left half of the screen.

Did you move the mouse cursor to the background
and then press the CMS-r to restart cwm?
Maybe some programs own keybindings surpress
the desired action in cwm.

I am using OpenBSD 6.1-stable.

There is a little difference with windows-vtile
between -current and 6.1-stable, as mentioned
below:

--------

Current: http://man.openbsd.org/amd64/cwmrc.5#BIND_FUNCTION_LIST

"Current window is placed on the left of the screen, maximized vertically and resized to half of the horizontal screen space. Other windows in its group share remaining screen space."

--------

6.1-stable: http://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-6.1/amd64/cwmrc.5#BIND_FUNCTION_LIST

"Current window is placed on the left of the screen and maximized vertically, other windows in its group share remaining screen space."

--------

Regards,

Stefan

Hello,
I have recently installed OpenBSD snapshot 6.2.I created a simple ~/.cwmrc with a single line -
bind-key CM-r window-vtile
then I restarted cwm, opened a few windows and hit CTRL-ALT-r.
I expected the current window to move to the left half of the screen but it did not work.I tried this with xterm, firefox, keepassx and vim as current windows but nothing happened.Does anyone know why?
Is there a way to bind a key to move a window to specified position on the screen (for example coordinates 0,0)?
