FvwmProxy(1) FVWM Modules FvwmProxy(1)
NAME
FvwmProxy - the FVWM Proxy module
SYNOPSIS
FvwmProxy is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work.
DESCRIPTION
The FvwmProxy allows the user to locate and control windows obscured by
other windows by using small non-overlapping proxy windows. The
default capabilites include raising and lowering the proxied windows.
Using the sample configuration, pressing Alt-Tab cycles through the
windows and allows the use of assignable click actions on the proxies.
Releasing the Alt key deactivates the proxy windows. By default,
pressing the left or right mouse buttons on a proxy window raises or
lowers the associated proxied window respectively. An additional map-
ping can have the proxies automatically appear by just holding the Alt
key.
Proxy windows are always on top and try to center on the regular window
they proxy. A simple collision algorithm tweaks the positions of the
proxy windows to prevent them from overlapping.

INVOCATION
FvwmProxy can be invoked by inserting the line 'Module FvwmProxy' in
the .fvwm2rc file. This can be placed on a line by itself, if FvwmProxy
is to be spawned during fvwm's initialization, or can be bound to a
menu or mouse button or keystroke to invoke it later. Fvwm will search
directory specified in the ModulePath configuration option to attempt
to locate FvwmProxy.
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
*FvwmProxy: Colorset n
Specifies the color theme for unselected proxy windows.
*FvwmProxy: SelectColorset n
Specifies the color theme for the selected proxy window.
*FvwmProxy: IconifiedColorset n
Specifies the color theme for proxy windows of iconified win-
dows. This is only meaningful in conjuction with the ProxyI-
conified option on.
*FvwmProxy: Font font
Specifies the font used for all proxy window text.
*FvwmProxy: Width w
Specifies the size in X of each proxy window.
*FvwmProxy: Height h
Specifies the size in Y of each proxy window.
*FvwmProxy: Separation d
Specifies the minimum distance between proxy windows when
adjusting for collisions.
*FvwmProxy: ShowMiniIcons bool
If true, proxy windows show the mini icon for the window they
represent, if it has a mini icon. The default is true.
*FvwmProxy: EnterSelect bool
If true, a proxy is automatically selected when the mouse is
moved over the proxy, even if no mouse buttons are pressed. The
default is false.
*FvwmProxy: ProxyMove bool
If true, moving a proxy window will move the window it repre-
sents. Currently, the proxied window doesn't recognize snap
effects during this operation.
*FvwmProxy: ProxyIconified bool
If true, continue to proxy windows when they are iconified. In
addition, consider adding click actions that Iconify on and off,
such as on the middlemouse button.
*FvwmProxy: Action mouseaction response
Tells FvwmProxy to do the specified response when the given
action is done. The currently supported mouse actions are:
Click1, Click2, Click3 and so on, representing mouse clicks with
various buttons. By default, the module supports 3 mouse but-
tons, but it can be compiled to support more. The default
responses are Raise, Nop, and Lower for Click1, Click2, and
Click3, respectively.
*FvwmProxy: Action Select command
This selects an fvwm function to be called during a FvwmProxy
Hide command for the window whose proxy was selected. The
default is WindowListFunc. WindowListFunc is predefined by the
fvwm install. You can replace it, add to it, or supply an inde-
pendent function.
*FvwmProxy: Action Show command
This selects an fvwm function to be called during a FvwmProxy
Show command. The default is Nop.
*FvwmProxy: Action Hide command
This selects an fvwm function to be called during a FvwmProxy
Hide command. The default is Nop.
*FvwmProxy: Action Abort command
This selects an fvwm function to be called during a FvwmProxy
Abort command. The default is Nop.
*FvwmProxy: Action Mark command
This selects an fvwm function to be called on a window after it
is marked. The default is Nop.
*FvwmProxy: Action Unmark command
This selects an fvwm function to be called on a marked window
just after another window gets the mark. The default is Nop.
*FvwmProxy: Action ModifierRelease modifiers command
This selects an fvwm function to be called while proxies are
shown and the specified modifiers are all released. The modi-
fiers are specified using the same syntax as in the Mouse com-
mand. The default is Nop.
COMMANDS
SendToModule FvwmProxy Show
Activate proxy windows for all windows on the current desk that
do not use the WindowListSkip option. If the desk is switched,
new proxies are automatically generated.
SendToModule FvwmProxy Hide
Deactivate all proxy windows. If a proxy is selected (such as
with the Next and Prev commands), the Select Action is call on
the window that the proxy represents. The default action
includes raising the window and warping the mouse to a position
over that window.
SendToModule FvwmProxy ShowToggle
If shown, hide. If hidden, show.
SendToModule FvwmProxy Abort
Deactivate all proxy windows. This differs from the Hide com-
mand in that no action is taken on any selected window.
SendToModule FvwmProxy Circulate command
Tell FvwmProxy to run a conditional command and mark the result.
The imbedded command SendToModule FvwmProxy Mark is automati-
cally appended after the optional condition, so supplying your
own imbedded command will probably fail. An example argument to
Circulate is ScanForWindow East South (CurrentPage). If the
proxies aren't already shown (such as with the Show command),
any Circulate command will automatically show the proxies.
SendToModule FvwmProxy Next (temporary)
If a proxy window is selected, the next proxy is selected. Win-
dows with the WindowListSkip option are ignored. The proxies
are sorted left to right during the Show command. If no proxy
is currently selected, but a proxy on this desk was selected on
a recent show, that proxy is selected. If no proxy on this desk
was recently selected, the leftmost proxy is used. This nearly
duplicates the functionality of Circulate ScanForWindow East
South (CurrentPage).
SendToModule FvwmProxy Prev (temporary)
If a proxy window is selected, the previous proxy is selected.
The starting point is the same as with the Next command, except
that the choice with no recent selection is the rightmost proxy.
This nearly duplicates the functionality of Circulate ScanFor-
Window West North (CurrentPage).
SAMPLE CONFIGURATION
The following are excerpts from a .fvwm2rc file which describe Fvwm-
Proxy initialization commands:
Key Tab A M SendToModule FvwmProxy Circulate \
ScanForWindow East South (CurrentPage)
Key Tab A SM SendToModule FvwmProxy Circulate \
ScanForWindow West North (CurrentPage)
*FvwmProxy: Action ModifierRelease M SendToModule FvwmProxy Hide
But Meta-Shift-Tab can be awkward, so Meta-Q may be a better alterna-
tive.
Key Q A M SendToModule FvwmProxy Circulate \
ScanForWindow West North (CurrentPage)
You might consider adding !Sticky to the (CurrentPage) conditional if
you use Sticky for low-interactivity programs, like load meters and
music players.
To have the proxies immediately pop up when you hold the Alt key, add
Key Meta_L A N SendToModule FvwmProxy Show
If that's too intrusive, you can assign Alt-Esc to switch the proxies
on and off by adding
Key Escape A M SendToModule FvwmProxy ShowToggle
Some platforms have problems where general Alt key combinations becom-
ing otherwise dysfunctional after defining these mappings. If this
happens, it might be difficult to take full advantage of this module.
To have the mouse jump to the center instead of the upper left corner,
try adding
AddToFunc WindowListFunc
+ I WarpToWindow 50 50
or just make your own list function from scratch, for example
DestroyFunc WindowListFunc
AddToFunc WindowListFunc
+ I WindowId $[w.id] Raise
+ I WindowId $[w.id] WarpToWindow 50 50
Note that the default configuration does not activate any Next/Prev
operations for Alt-Tab since that sequence is, by default, used by
another module. Adding appropriate key mappings to your .fvwm2rc will
switch this responsibility to FvwmProxy.
If you use ProxyIconified, you might consider adding Iconify actions.
AddToFunc WindowListFunc
+ I WindowId $[w.id] Iconify Off
AddToFunc Raise-and-Deiconify
+ I WindowId $[w.id] Raise
+ I WindowId $[w.id] Iconify Off
*FvwmProxy: Action Click1 Raise-and-Deiconify
*FvwmProxy: Action Click2 Iconify
