Sweet. I had glanced at awful when I first switched but now I think I'll look
through it a lot more. In case anyone else is wondering here is the
movement from my rc.lua:
NOTE: I've modified my default rc.lua to among other things, comment out
conflicting keys.
table.insert(globalkeys, key({ modkey }, "h", function ()
awful.client.focus.bydirection("left"); if client.focus then
client.focus:raise() end end))
table.insert(globalkeys, key({ modkey }, "j", function ()
awful.client.focus.bydirection("down"); if client.focus then
client.focus:raise() end end))
table.insert(globalkeys, key({ modkey }, "k", function ()
awful.client.focus.bydirection("up"); if client.focus then client.focus:raise()
end end))
table.insert(globalkeys, key({ modkey }, "l", function ()
awful.client.focus.bydirection("right"); if client.focus then
client.focus:raise() end end))
table.insert(globalkeys, key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "h", function ()
awful.client.swap.bydirection("left") end))
table.insert(globalkeys, key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "j", function ()
awful.client.swap.bydirection("down") end))
table.insert(globalkeys, key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "k", function ()
awful.client.swap.bydirection("up") end))
table.insert(globalkeys, key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "l", function ()
awful.client.swap.bydirection("right") end))
bydirection can take an optional client "c" but I don't think I
need/want that in this case. There is an issue with bydirection and
"maximized_horizontal" windows though... I'll have to look into it later.
Thanks Julien,
