From mjr at phonecoop.coop Wed Jun 10 18:39:13 2015 From: mjr at phonecoop.coop (MJ Ray) Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2015 17:39:13 +0100 Subject: Moving windows with the mouse Message-ID: <55786831.3000604@phonecoop.coop> Hi - first time emailer here. Switched from another tiling window manager a while ago. I've made a few tweaks to my layout (most importantly, negative pad to put menus and scrollbars on the screen edges) and blogged about it. A few readers said they switched too as a result. Anyway, here's where I'm stuck now: is it possible to shift windows left/right/up/down on tiled layouts with the mouse, or do a cycle_layout? It seems like I can only bind the mouse buttons to very few actions. Could it be made possible to do more, please? Sometimes I'm using the mouse anyway and it feels a bit inefficient to move both hands back to the keyboard just to tweak the layouts. If I could just push a Mod key and keep using the mouse, I think that would feel slicker.

The action can be "move": "Moves the window by dragging the cursor." Maybe it isn't what do you search (I'm not using it). Zsolt 2015-06-10 18:39 GMT+02:00 MJ Ray : > Hi - first time emailer here.

I tried it but it doesn't seem to work on tiled tags - only when all windows are floating/overlapping.
