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
       available:

       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.

       -display	display
	      specifies	the X display to run on.

       -term termprog
	      specifies	an alternative program to run when spawning a new ter-
