How do I use the awesome window manager?
Here is one person's introduction
Here is a guide to installing it with Ubuntu
And here is a history and additional links via Wikipedia
Hope that helps!
I assume Mod4 is the same as meta which is the Windows key on most modern keyboards.
Here is my bare bones intro to awesome window manager: http://isomorphismes.tumblr.com/post/33846445632/awesome-window-manager. First few lines:
The main keys you need to know are:
- ⌘+space = change screen layout type
- ⌘+shift + space = change screen layout type, cycling backwards
- ⌘+j = go to the next window on this desktop (focus on, as if you had hovered your mouse over it … but without needing to reach over to the mouse)
- ⌘+k = go to the previous window on this desktop
- ⌘+J = swap this window and the next one
- ⌘+K = swap this window and the previous one
- ⌘+h = → the center partition squashing the right pane(s)
- ⌘+l = ← the center partition expanding the right pane(s)
- ⌘+← = desktop to the left
- ⌘+→ = desktop to the right
- ⌘+9 = desktop number nine
Notice that h,j,k,l are the right-handed home row keys on a QWERTY|AZERTY.
