# riow
Some kind of window management experiments with rio. What does it do?
It gives you virtual desktops to move window around to, by pressing
keys, like i3. The window management is done by reading and writing
`/dev/wsys` for the most part.
*No guarantees, use at your own risk and blah. This isn't supposed to
work with drawterm.*
## Features
* virtual desktops from 1 to 0
* switch between desktops
* move windows between desktops
* switch focus between windows
* toggle fullscreen mode on the current window
* start a new window
* "sticky" programs, by default `stats`, `kbmap` etc are shown on every desktop
* toggle "sticky" mode for current window
All that with simple shortcuts.
## Installation and usage
mk install
man riow
Running with [bar](https://git.sr.ht/~ft/bar) is recommended. For
example, with additional `zuke(1)` controls and `reform/shortcuts`:
; cat $home/rc/bin/Bar
#!/bin/rc
rfork ne
fn bar {
sed -u 's/$/ │ ⏮ │ ⏯ │ ⏭/g' \
| /bin/bar \
| awk -v 'c=plumb -d audio ''key ' '
/⏮/{system(c"<''")}
/⏯/{system(c"p''")}
/⏭/{system(c">''")}
' >[2]/dev/null
}
</dev/kbdtap reform/shortcuts | riow >/dev/kbdtap |[3] bar
