NAME
     yeahwm - Minimalist Window Manager for X

SYNOPSIS
     yeahwm  [	-display  display  ] [ -term termprog ] [ -fg foreground ] [ -bg
     background ] [ -bw borderwidth ] [ -snap num ] [ -V ]

DESCRIPTION
     yeahwm is a minimalist window manager based on evilwm.

     In yeahwm, the focus follows the mouse pointer, and focus if  not	lost  is
     you  stray onto the root window.  The current window border is shaded gold,
     with other windows left as a dark grey.

     You can use the mouse to manipulate windows either by click/dragging the  1
     pixel  border,  or  by holding down Alt and doing so anywhere in the client
     window. The controls are:

     Button 1
	    Move window.

     Button 3
	    Resize window.

     Mousewheel down
	    Lower window.

     Mousewheel up
	    Raise window.

     Mousewheel over root window switches virtual desktops

     Dragging the window  againstthe  left/right  screen  edge	will  switch  to
     prev./next virtual Worspace.

     Most  keyboard  controls  are  used  by  holding down Control and Alt, then
     pressing a key. Available functions are:

     Return Spawn new terminal.

     Escape Delete current window.

     Insert Lower current window.

     H, J, K, L
	    Move window left, down, up or right (16 pixels).

     Y, U, B, N
	    Move window to top-left, top-right, bottom-left or	bottom-right  of
	    screen.

     I	    Show information about current window.

     Equals Maximise current window vertically (toggle).

     X	    Maximise current window (toggle).

     If  compiled  with virtual desktop support, these functions are also avail-
     able:

     F	    Fix or unfix current window.

     1 - 8  Switch virtual desktop.

     Left   Previous virtual desktop.

     Right  Next virtual desktop.

     In addition to the above, Alt+Tab can be used to cycle through  windows  on
     screen.

     To make yeahwm exit, you have to kill the process.
