FvwmCommand 1.5 is released.
FvwmCommand lets you monitor fvwm2 transaction and issue
fvwm2 command from a shell.
It can be found at:
www.concentric.net/~Isogai/fvwm2/fvwm2.shtml
Changes on ver. 1.5 is :
Fixed bugs in reading and writing FIFOs.
Will not exit after bad messages.
Server keeps track of connection to client to avoid sending
unnecessary messages.
Handle multiple (long) commands correctly.
Added lock mechanism to avoid connecting multiple FvwmCommand
to a FIFO.
Added focus-link.pl script and its manpage.
The last item, focus-link, needs some explanation. It is a user
programmable window focus script. Here is its default behavior.
1. When a window is opened up, focus the window and
move the pointer to it. The parent window regains
focus when a window is closed. Parenthood is
determined when a window is opened. It is the last
focused window with the same X class.
2. #1 would not occur to AcroRead opening window.
3. #1 would not occur when SkipMapping is set and the
window is the only window of its class.
4. For Netscape find dialog window, addition to #1,
resize the window to 300x150 pixels and move it to
East edge of the screen. Download/upload windows
will not be focused nor be in focus link list.
5. Move appletviewer to NorthWest corner.
6. Xterm won't focus back to its parent after closed.
7. When a window is de-iconified, focus it and move
the pointer.
If all you want is to achive #1, all you need in user_function is :
sub user_function {
if (action_was ("add")) {
focus_window();
warp_to_window (50, 50); # center of the window
}elsif (action_was("destroy")) {
focus_window (get_parent_window());
}
}
To add #3, add following before "focus-window" in "add" block.
if (window_flag('SkipMapping') && no_parent_window()) {
return();
}
The house keeping in this script is done in other functions and
the configurable section is faily easy and short.
Enjoy.
