NAME
       JWM - Joe's Window Manager

SYNOPSIS
       jwm [options]

DESCRIPTION
       JWM is a window manager for the X11 Window System.

OPTIONS
       -display display
	      This option specifies the display to use; see X(1).

       -exit
	      Exit JWM by sending _JWM_EXIT to the root window.

       -h
	      Display a help message and exit.

       -p
	      Parse the configuration file and exit.  It is a good idea to use
	      this after making modifications to  the  configuration  file  to
	      ensure there are no errors.

       -restart
	      Restart JWM by sending _JWM_RESTART to the root window.

       -reload
	      Reload menus by sending _JWM_RELOAD to the root window.

       -v
	      Display version information and exit.

FILES
       /etc/system.jwmrc
	      The default JWM configuration file.

       ~/.jwmrc
	      Local configuration file. Copy the default configuration file to
	      this location to make user-specific changes.

CONFIGURATION
       OVERVIEW
	      Configuration of JWM is done by editing ".jwmrc".	 This file  is
	      XML  making it easy to edit, either by hand or programmatically.
	      The example.jwmrc gives an example configuration	file.	Before
	      restarting  JWM,	it is a good idea to run "jwm -p" to make sure
	      the configuration file is free of errors.	 Otherwise you may end
	      up without a root menu.

       ROOT MENU
	      The  root	 menu  in JWM is the primary way of starting programs.
	      It also provides a way to restart or exit	 the  window  manager.
	      The  outer  most	tag  is RootMenu. The following attributes are
	      supported:

	      onroot list
		     Determine which buttons on the root window	 activate  the
		     menu.  This is a list of integers specifying buttons. The
		     default is "123".	Note that multiple root menus  may  be
		     specified by using different buttons for different menus.
		     The range of possible button values is 0 to 9 inclusive.

	      height int
		     Height of each menu  item	in  pixels.  0	indicates  the
		     largest  menu item will determine the height. The default
		     is 0.

       FONTS
	      Fonts for various parts of JWM are specified within a Font  tag.
	      The  text	 of  this tag determines the font to use.  This can be
	      either a standard X font string or, if compiled  with  XFT  sup‐
	      port, an XFT font string.

       COLORS
	      Colors  for  various  parts of JWM are specified within specific
	      tags (described above). Colors may either be hex triplets in RGB
	      format  (for example, #FF0000 is red) or by a name recognized by
	      the X server.  For components that support gradients, two colors
	      may be specified separated by a colon.

       ICONS
	      Icons for windows that don't supply an icon via the _NET_WM_ICON
	      hint are located by searching the icon  search  path(s)  for  an
	      icon  whose  name (minus the ".xpm" or ".png" extension) matches
	      the instance name of the window  as  returned  in	 the  WM_CLASS
	      hint.  If	 this  lookup  fails, a default icon is supplied. This
	      icon will be displayed for the window on it's title bar  and  on
	      the  task	 list.	Icons that are not an appropriate size will be
	      scaled. Square icons work best.

	      For menu items, the icon path is searched for a match. the  icon
	      specified	 for  a	 menu  item must be the exact name of the icon
	      file with the extension.	If no match is	found,	a  blank  area
	      will  appear  where  the	icon should appear.  If an icon is not
	      specified for any menu item in a menu, no space  will  be	 allo‐
	      cated for icons.

	      Zero  or	more  IconPath tags may be specified. The text of this
	      tag is assumed to be an absolute directory path to  a  directory
	      containing  XPM,	PNG,  and/or  JPEG  icons.  When searching for
	      icons, if multiple paths are provided, they will be searched  in
	      order until a match is made.  Note that icon, PNG, JPEG, and XPM
	      support are compile-time options.

       KEY BINDINGS
	      Keyboard bindings in JWM are specified in Key tags.  Either  the
	      key  or  keycode attributes must be specified to determine which
	      key will cause an action. The optional attribute,	 mask,	speci‐
	      fies what key mask, if any, must be in effect for the binding to
	      match. Finally, the text of the Key tag is the  action  to  per‐
	      form.

	      One or more of the following key masks may be specified for mask
	      (see xmodmap(1)):

		     A	    The "Alt" key (mod1).

		     C	    Control

		     S	    Shift

		     1	    mod1

		     2	    mod2

		     3	    mod3

		     4	    mod4

		     5	    mod5

	      The key specified in the key attribute must contain a valid  key
	      string for XStringToKeysym(3). These values are usually what one
	      would expect (for example, the escape key is called "Escape").

	      Valid actions for a key binding are:

		     up	    Move up. Not grabbed.

		     down   Move down. Not grabbed.

		     right  Move right. Not grabbed.

		     left   Move left. Not grabbed.

		     escape Stop a move/resize, exit  a	 menu,	or  cancel  an
			    action. Not grabbed.

		     fullscreen
			    Toggle  between  fullscreen	 and  not  fullscreen.
			    Grabbed.

		     select Make a menu selection or confirm  an  action.  Not
			    grabbed.

		     next   Move to the next window in the task list. Grabbed.

		     nextstacked
			    Move  to  the  next	 window in the stacking order.
			    Grabbed.

		     window Show  the  window  menu  for  the  active  window.
			    Grabbed.

		     desktop#
			    Switch  to	a  specific  desktop. To use this, "#"
			    must be specified in the key section. The number 1
			    to the number of desktops configured are then sub‐
			    stituted for "#". Grabbed.

		     rdesktop
			    Move one desktop to the right. Grabbed.

		     ldesktop
			    Move one desktop to the left. Grabbed.

			    Execute command. Grabbed.

		     restart

	      Note  that keys that are grabbed will not be available to appli‐
	      cations other than JWM since JWM will interpret these. Also note
	      that  there are no default key bindings. Finally, it is possible
	      to bind multiple key combinations to the same action.

       MOUSE BINDINGS
	      Any button other than the scroll wheel (buttons 4 and 5) on  the
	      root  window will bring up the root menu unless otherwise speci‐
	      fied via the onroot attribute of RootMenu. Scrolling up  on  the
	      root  window  switches  to  the  left desktop and scrolling down
	      switches to the right desktop.

	      Button 1 (typically the left button):
		     Over the border, dragging resizes the window.   Over  the
		     title  bar, dragging moves the window and double clicking
		     toggles the  maximized  state.   Over  the	 menu  button,
		     clicking  shows  the  menu.   Over	 the  minimize button,
		     clicking minimizes the window.  Over the maximize button,
		     clicking  toggles between maximized and normal.  Over the
		     close button, clicking closes the window.

	      Button 2 (typically the middle button):
		     Over the maximize button, clicking toggles between verti‐
		     cally  maximized  and  normal.  Anywhere else on a window
		     frame, dragging while holding button 2 will move the win‐
		     dow.

	      Button 3 (typically the right button):
		     Over  the	frame, clicking shows the window menu.	On the
		     minimize button,  clicking	 toggles  between  shaded  and
		     unshaded.	 On  the  maximize  button,  clicking  toggles
		     between horizontally maximized and normal.	 On the	 close
		     button,  clicking	closes	the  window.   Over the pager,
		     dragging while holding button 3 will move a window.

	      Scrolling up over the  title  bar	 will  shade  the  window  and
	      scrolling	 down  will  unshade the window.  When a menu is open,
	      the scroll wheel will move through menu items.   When  over  the
	      pager,  the scroll wheel will switch desktops.  When over a task
	      list, the scroll wheel will switch windows.

       DESKTOPS

	      this tag the following attribute is supported:
