The fast answer: use your mouse :)
I do not like this idea. In fact, I am using CLFSWM exclusively
with keyboard. I tried to resize frames with the mouse but I
failed at it (I did not find what combo to use :))
In fact, now with multiple frame level I try to have max to 3 windows
in the same frame (most of the time 2) and I organize them so that I
can switch easily between them.
I am using an EEE PC (by Asus) here and I *must* organize my
windows carefully. In fact it is pretty simple, I am almost
fullscreen for all.
The frame feature will allow me to setup pre-defined frames:
- Net (opera, firefox)
- IM (actually aMSN to discuss with my syster)
- work (xterm and/or screen)
- emacs
The root frame is used as a "decoration" here. All other frames
are children of the root frame.
Speaking of aMSN, my sister often offers me to see her webcam.
The problem is that this window is a transient window. How can I
manage such window to force it to go in a particular frame ?
You can also bind a key to a particular child
(with Alt+1/2/3/4+Return) and jump to it with (Alt+1/2/3/4+Tab).
WOnderful ! Is it new ?
