Virtual Desktops
Fvwm supports multiple Desktops. The default desktop is 0 and there is no set cap on the number of desktops you can use. Desktops are available on demand and can be moved between using the GotoDesk command (note MoveToDesk, for windows, as the same syntax).
GotoDesk can be configured to go to a specific Desk or just cycle through them. Here are some examples:
Additionally Desktops can be given names with:
Pages
Each Desktop can be further split into a grid of Pages, where one Page is the size of your viewport (monitor) and you can move around the Pages as if you had a bigger screen, but only see one portion of it.
Here is an example to configure Pages:
That will give you a grid of 3x2 Pages where the numbers are the x and y coordinates of each page. You can move through the pages using the GotoPage (and MoveToPage for windows) in a similar fashion to GotoDesk above.
In addition to just moving through the page you can scroll or only move part way between two pages. You can also set up functions that will automatically move you between pages when your mouse hits the edge of the screen. For example:
Additionally you can move around with
Or use /Modules/FvwmPager to give a miniature view of your Desks, Pages and Windows.
