sawfish-config(1)

✨ sawfish-config ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual entry for sawfish-config — aka The Sawfish Configurator. 💅 this is the little gadget that lets you poke at your window manager's settings, and yes, it's exactly as iconic as it sounds.

🌸 NAME 🌸

sawfish-config — The Sawfish Configurator. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

sawfish-config [ --group=GROUP-NAME ]  [ --flatten ]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so like, you can run this program yourself to manually invoke the Sawfish configurator — no gatekeeping here — but honestly? most of the time it gets called from the window manager itself. it's giving "I don't need an invitation, I live here." 🏠✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --group=GROUP-NAME — show only GROUP-NAME, nothing else, tunnel vision era. 🙈

GROUP-NAME has to be one of these exact names, no substitutions, no vibes-based guessing:

• Sawfish
• Appearance
• Bindings
• Focus
• Minimizing/Maximizing
• Miscellaneous
• Move/Resize
• Sounds
• Window Rules
• Workspaces

• --flatten — display sub-groups inline instead of using a tree widget. and in the normal tree item, don't put frame the widgets. (yes, that's the original wording, we keep it exactly, no cap. 📝)
• --disable-nls — disable internationalization of messages. say goodbye to translations, it's monolingual hours. 🌍🚫
• --help — prints help. that's it, that's the whole thing. 🫶

🎀 AUTHOR 🎀

this manual page was written by Christian Marillat marillat@debian.org for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). absolute legend behaviour, we love a documented manpage. 💜

💀 reminder: the group names above are case-sensitive-ish energy — type them exactly as written or the configurator will simply not know what you're talking about.

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🌈 run it manually, run it from the WM, whatever — just know it's sawfish-config(1) from the General Commands Manual, and it's lowkey iconic. bye babes 💖✨🦋
