Configuring JWM shortcuts

#1 Post by geo909 »

Hello everybody,
I wanted to make some keybindings for a couple of actions but I couldn't find them on the internet.

For example I couldn't manage to find how to express those actions:
-Move to PREVIOUS desktop (I can move to the next)
-Move to next desktop AND take the current window with you
-Move to previous desktop AND take the current window with you

Do you have any ideas please?
Any good link about configuring JWM (except from the official webpage)?

Thanks a lot!

Puppy comes standard with ALT-TAB being the "move to next desktop" key binding; and ALT-# is for "move to next window."

Though not exactly what you may need, you can assign "stick" to a certain window so that no matter which desktop you're in, the window stays with you. To temporarily invoke this, right click on the top of the window (on in the taskbar) and then choose "stick."

If you have a specific application that you'd like always to behave that way, you can add something like this to /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal:

Code: Select all

<Group>
	<Name>rxvt</Name>
	<Option>sticky</Option>
</Group>
