Re: [wmii] moving a floating window with the keyboard?

Miernik,

I found that I wanted to do the same thing. What you can do is edit the
wmiirc file to include new key bindings to do that.

in the "#SHORTCUTS" section, I added:

$MODKEY-o
$MODKEY-Shift-o
$MODKEY-i
$MODKEY-Shift-i
$MODKEY-u
$MODKEY-Shift-u
$MODKEY-y
$MODKEY-Shift-y

then, in the event loop with all of the other bindings,

$MODKEY-o)
         xwrite /view/sel/sel/geom +0 +0 +10 +0 ;; #right
$MODKEY-Shift-o)
         xwrite /view/sel/sel/geom +0 +0 -10 +0 ;; #left
$MODKEY-i)
         xwrite /view/sel/sel/geom +0 +0 +0 +10;; #down
$MODKEY-Shift-i)
         xwrite /view/sel/sel/geom +0 +0 +0 -20;; #up
$MODKEY-u)
         xwrite /view/sel/sel/geom +10 +0 +0 +0 ;; #right
$MODKEY-Shift-u)
         xwrite /view/sel/sel/geom -10 +0 +0 +0 ;; #left
$MODKEY-y)
         xwrite /view/sel/sel/geom +0 +10 +0 +0;; #down
$MODKEY-Shift-y)
         xwrite /view/sel/sel/geom +0 -10 +0 +0;; #up

i,o: they resize the window.
u,y: they move the window.

Kind of a kludge, but I think it is going to work for me. Choose your
own key bindings, those are what I am using.
