Installing awesome is pretty straightforward:
|
||||
|
||||
tar xzvf awesome.tar.gz
|
||||
cd awesome
|
||||
make
|
||||
make install
|
||||
|
||||
will install awesome in /usr/local.
|
||||
Note that you'll need [`libconfuse`](http://www.nongnu.org/confuse/), X developement files and [`cairo`](http://cairographics.org/) installed first.

# Configuration
|
||||
awesome is configured via the config file `~/.awesomerc`.
|
||||
|
||||
The file format should be self-explanatory. See the source for an example.
|
||||
|
||||
# Guided tour
|
||||
|
||||
In the following guided tour, we will assume that you are using the default configuration file.
|
||||
*awesome* modkey is **Mod4** by default in order to not interact with other applications key bindings. You can change it as you want.
|
||||
|
||||
## First run
|
||||
|
||||
When running *awesome* for the first time, your workspace will be empty. Since we're assuming you want to do stuff with your computer, we're going to run a first client.
|
||||
|
||||
[[img screenshots/guided_tour/empty.png size="320x200"]]
|
||||
|
||||
Type **Mod4+Return** to run a terminal emulator.
|
||||
|
||||
[[img screenshots/guided_tour/term.png size="320x200"]]
|
||||
|
||||
This first client is tiled fullscreen since it's alone.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tiled mode
|
||||
|
||||
Now launch another terminal.
|
||||
|
||||
[[img screenshots/guided_tour/term2.png size="320x200"]]
|
||||
|
||||
You see that windows are automatically arranged.
|
||||
Then run a third terminal.
|
||||
|
||||
[[img screenshots/guided_tour/term3.png size="320x200"]]
|
||||
|
||||
Again, windows are automagically arranged. As you can see, there's two windows on the
|
||||
left (the master area) and one window on the right.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, *awesome* set the number of master windows to 2. That means that only 2 windows will be stacked in the master area. You can change this setting by pressing **Shift+Mod4+h** to increase it or **Shift+Mod4+l** to decrease it.
|
||||
|
||||
If you press now **Control+Mod4+l** to decrease it, windows will be arranged like this:
|
||||
|
||||
[[img screenshots/guided_tour/term4-nmaster1.png size="320x200"]]
|
||||
|
||||
There's now only one window in master area and two windows in the other area.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also change the number of colums for the non-master area. By pressing **Mod4+Control+h** you will increase the number of columns used, and will decrease it if you press **Mod4+Control+l**. By default *awesome* set the number of column to 1.
|
||||
|
||||
If you press **Mod4+Control+h** to switch to 2 column and windows will be arranged like this:
|
||||
|
||||
[[img screenshots/guided_tour/term4-nmaster1-col2.png size="320x200"]]
|
||||
|
||||
The size of the master area can be adjusted by setting the master width factor. By default this value is at 60 %. You can increase it by pressing **Mod4+h** or **Mod4+l** to decrease it.
|
||||
|
||||
If you decrease it like that, you will see that all windows size will be readjusted automatically:
|
||||
|
||||
[[img screenshots/guided_tour/term4-nmaster1-col2-mwfact.png size="320x200"]]
|
||||
|
||||
If you then run a new terminal, it will be put in master area and other windows will be rearrenged in column of the non-master area:
|
||||
|
||||
[[img screenshots/guided_tour/term4-nmaster1-col2-mwfact-newterm.png size="320x200"]]
|
||||
|
||||
## Layouts
|
||||
|
||||
You can switch layout by pressing **Mod4+Space**. If you press it one time, you will switch to the next layout, which is by default *tileleft*. It's like *tile* (the default layout) except that the master area is on the right.
|
||||
|
||||
[[img screenshots/guided_tour/tileleft.png size="320x200"]]
|
||||
|
||||
If you press it another time will switch to the *max* layout, where all windows are fullscreen.
|
||||
|
||||
[[img screenshots/guided_tour/max.png size="320x200"]]
|
||||
|
||||
Press it once again, and you will switch to the floating layout where you can move windows with **Mod4+Button1** and resize them with **Mod4+Button3**.
|
||||
|
||||
[[img screenshots/guided_tour/float.png size="320x200"]]
|
||||
|
||||
Note that in tiled layout you can move and resize windows. If you do this, they will become *floating* windows. Floating can be toggled by pressing **Mod4+Control+Space**.
|
||||
|
||||
## Ordering windows
|
||||
|
||||
You can order windows as you want.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use **Mod4+Shift+j** and **Mod4+Shift+k** to swap window with next or previous one.
|
||||
|
||||
[[img screenshots/guided_tour/swap1.png size="320x200"]]
|
||||
|
||||
If we focus xlogo and then press **Mod4+Shift+j** we will swap xlogo with the next xterm.
|
||||
|
||||
[[img screenshots/guided_tour/swap2.png size="320x200"]]
|
||||
|
||||
You can directly set a window as master by pressing **Mod4+Control+Return**.
|
||||
|
||||
[[img screenshots/guided_tour/zoom.png size="320x200"]]
|
||||
|
||||
You can focus next and previous window by pressing **Mod4+j** and **Mod4+k**.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tagging windows
|
||||
|
||||
*awesome* use a tag system instead of a virtual desktop model. Note that it can be used like virtual desktops, but it's a bit more powerful.
|
||||
|
||||
First, run a terminal in tag 1 (click on 1 in the status bar or press **Mod4+1**).
|
||||
|
||||
[[img screenshots/guided_tour/tag1.png size="320x200"]]
|
||||
|
||||
Then, go to tag 2 and run another terminal.
|
||||
|
||||
[[img screenshots/guided_tour/tag2.png size="320x200"]]
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, you can view both windows tagged with 1 and 2 by right clicking on 1 when you see tag 2 or by pressing **Mod4+Control+1**.
|
||||
|
||||
[[img screenshots/guided_tour/tag12.png size="320x200"]]
|
||||
|
||||
You can change windows tags with **Mod4+Shift+tag number**. You can also tag windows with several tags.

Windows can be managed in several layouts: tiled, maximized, dwindle, spiral, floating…

Each layout can be applied on the fly, optimizing the environment for the application in use and the task performed.

Managing windows in tiled mode assures that no space will be wasted on your screen. No gaps, no overlap.

Other layouts can be used for different purpose.

awesome contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the layout, the title of the focused window, and text.

The selected tags are highlighted with a different color, while the tags of the focused window are highlighted with a small point.
