README
About
-----
Coma is a minimalistic X11 Window Manager.
It makes my life easier when hacking on my laptop as by default
I will get my 2 frames containing 80 column terminals with a nice
gap and layout.
Read the included manual page for more information.
License
-------
Coma is licensed under the ISC license.
Building
--------
Coma should build fine on MacOS, Linux and OpenBSD.
OpenBSD:
```
$ make
$ doas make install
```
MacOS:
```
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/X11/share/pkgconfig:/opt/X11/lib/pkgconfig
$ make
$ sudo make install
```
Linux (requires libbsd):
```
$ env CFLAGS=-D_GNU_SOURCE LDFLAGS=-lbsd make
$ sudo make install
```
Shell setup
-----------
Coma ties in directly with your xterms and running shell. With the help
of your shell you can update coma on the hostname, pwd and commands
running in the clients.
Here's a snippet from my .zshrc that can get you started:
```
precmd() {
print -Pn "\e]0;%M;%d;zsh\a"
}
preexec() {
cmd=`echo $1 | cut -f1 -d' '`
if [ "$cmd" = "vi" ] || [ "$cmd" = $EDITOR ]; then
cmd=`echo $1 | cut -f2 -d' '`
fi
print -Pn "\e]0;%M;%d;$cmd\a"
}
```
Coma expects the information from the shell in the following format:
hostname;directory;running command
If your environment is configured like the above Coma will be able to
execute commands on remote hosts transparently via prefix-e as it will
auto detect what host you are currently on and execute the coma-remote
script to connect to it before executing the command given.
Key bindings
------------
All key bindings are changable via the config file (see coma.1).
C-t = prefix
prefix-c = new xterm
prefix-e = open command execution input
prefix-Space = toggle popup area
prefix-colon = coma internal command prompt
prefix-p = previous window
prefix-n = next window
prefix-r = restart Coma
prefix-h = move to frame to the left of current frame
prefix-l = move to frame to the right of current frame
prefix-k = kill client in current frame
prefix-i = move the active client to the left
prefix-o = move the active client to the right
prefix-s = split frame
prefix-q = client quick selection list
prefix-m = merge frame back together
prefix-f = toggle focus between split frames
prefix-z = zoom/unzoom current frame to cover all frames
