NAME
       WinCommand -  AfterStep	module	for  choosing and manipulating windows
       based on patterns

SYNOPSIS
	WinCommand [ standard options ]

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
DESCRIPTION
       WinCommand is a command line tool which allows you  to  select  windows
       based  on  their	 name  and  to	then  manipulate them in various ways.
       Actions currently supported are: "center",  "center  jump",  "iconify",
       "jump", "kill", "move", "resize" and "sendtodesk".

DEFAULTS
       The default pattern is "", meaning all windows will be selected.

       All other default-values depend on the action you would like WinCommand
       to take. If more than one action is specified, default-values  are  set
       depending on the last action specified.

ACTIONS
       center

	      Place matching windows into the center of the screen.

       center jump:

	      Places  first  window that matches into the center of the screen
	      and jumps to it.

       iconify:

	      Iconifies matching windows.

       jump:

	      Jumps to the first window which matches.

       kill:

	      Kills all matching windows.

       move:

	      Moves all matching windows to x/y. x and y are  specified	 using
	      the -x and -y flags.

       resize:

	      Resize  all matching windows. The two paramters width and height
	      are specified using the -width and -height flags.

       send_to_desk:

	      Send all matching windows to desk specified with	the  -new_desk
	      flag.

OPTIONS
       -all

	      Operate  on  all	windows which match the given pattern. This is
	      set by default unless the action is  either  "jump"  or  "center
	      jump".

       -alldesks

	      Windows  on all desks will be taken into account. This is set by
	      default if action is either "jump" or "center jump".

       -desk

	      Windows on the whole desk will be taken into account.

       -x/-y

	      These are required when issuing the move-command.

       -width/-height

	      These are required whenever you want to resize windows.

	      Examples WinCommand -pattern term iconify

	      This command will iconify all  terminals.	 Since	the  specified
	      pattern is a regular expression, something like this also works:

	      WinCommand -pattern "(term)|(moz)" iconify

	      This will iconify all terminals and mozilla-browser windows.

	      WinCommand -pattern xmm jump

	      will  jump to your xmms. In this situation, it's far more advis‐
	      able to use GWCommand though.

	      It is probably not a good idea to delete windows	while  windows
	      are being arranged.
