sawfish-ui(1)
πΈ sawfish-ui β the Sawfish Configurator, bestie π
okay so this is sawfish-ui(1), living in the General Commands Manual section, and honestly? she's the vibe. Let's go. β¨
β¨ NAME β¨
sawfish-ui β The Sawfish Configurator. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it gorgeously π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
sawfish-ui [ --group=GROUP-NAME ] [ --flatten ] [ --single-level ] [
--socket-id=WINDOW-ID ]
look at her, four little flags, all optional, zero drama π
π DESCRIPTION π
so basically, this program can be used to invoke the GUI manually. like, with your own two hands. π
and if GNOME is being used, then the GNOME Control Center can also be used to customize certain classes. two roads, same destination, iconic behavior fr fr.
π OPTIONS π
--groupGROUP-NAME β Display only GROUP-NAME. that's it. just that one group. tunnel vision, main character energy, no distractions π
GROUP-NAME should be one of these names, and I need you to write them down exactly because she does NOT accept typo era:
- Sawfish
- Appearance
- Bindings
- Focus
- Matched Windows
- Minimizing/Maximizing
- Miscellaneous
- Move/Resize
- Placement
- Sounds
- Workspaces
--flattenβ display sub-groups inline instead of using a tree widget (good for control center). In normaltreeitem, don't put frame the widgets. yeah, I typed that exactly how she wrote it, no notes, we don't editorialize the queen π--single-levelβ Don't display the tree widget. periodt. just... no tree. πΈ--socket-idWINDOW-ID β This option allow the ui to be embedded in the gnome control center. This also disables the ok/cancel/etc buttons and enables a hacky protocol on stdin/stdout. she said "hacky" herself, I'm just the messenger, and honestly? a hacky little stdin/stdout protocol is lowkey iconic π₯
