I use 1024x768 and find that it's not enough for some programs
(notably some audio applications). I have therefore implemented an
automatic scrolling mechanism for clients that are bigger than screen
resolution. It looks somewhat like this (ymmv depending on your
awesome version):
function scrollclient()
local c = client.focus
if not c then return end
local ss = screen[c.screen].geometry
local ws = screen[c.screen].workarea
local cc = c:geometry()
local mc = mouse.coords()
local step = 0
-- left edge
if mc.x < config.scroll_offset and cc.x < 0 then
step = math.min(config.step, -cc.x)
awful.client.moveresize(step,0,0,0,c)
end
-- right edge
if mc.x > ws.width - config.scroll_offset and cc.x + cc.width >
ws.width + 1 then
step = math.min(config.step, cc.x + cc.width-ws.width)
awful.client.moveresize(-step,0,0,0,c)
end
-- top edge
if mc.y < config.scroll_offset and cc.y < ss.height - ws.height then
step = math.min(config.step, ss.height - ws.height - cc.y - 1) --
FIXME: -1 is for the frame to hide under panels BROKEN
awful.client.moveresize(0,step,0,0,c)
end
-- bottom edge
if mc.y > ws.height - config.scroll_offset and cc.y + cc.height >
ss.height then
step = math.min(config.step, cc.y + cc.height - ss.height)
awful.client.moveresize(0,-step,0,0,c)
end
end
client.add_signal("focus", function (c)
-- see if the client needs scrolling
local ws = screen[c.screen].workarea
local geom = c:geometry()
if (geom.width > ws.width or geom.height > ws.height)
and not (awful.client.dockable.get(c) or c.fullscreen) then
scrolltimer = timer({ timeout = 0.01 })
scrolltimer:add_signal("timeout", scrollclient)
scrolltimer:start()
end
end)
