The new 'action' attribute values can be used to realize the
keyboard-based assignement of windows to screens. The "pick_up" action
(on a key press) selects the focused window to be held at the current
position until the "place_down" action is issued (by a key release).
While the focused window is held, "screen" actions can be executed
taking the picked up window to the selected screen.
Issue #5390
This patch enables the user to interactively change the assignment of
windows to screens. For screens visible side by side in a multi-monitor
setup, one can now move a window from one screen to another by dragging
the window title. When using screens as virtual desktops on one display,
a window can be moved to another screen by switching the screen (by
pressing a key matching a desired screen) while the window is dragged
with the mouse. So the user can drag the window between virtual desktops.
Issue #5390
This commit adds dynamic switching in between different defined
screens via keyboard shortcuts, or by editing the rules file.
In the window_layouter package it defines per default ten screens,
reachable by pressing the screen key along with numbers 0-9.
Fix#3646
This commit moves the window layouter and window decorator into
dedicated packages that can now be combined with the "wm" server at
runtime and restarted/reconfigured/swapped-out independently.
To use the window manager, one must start the 'wm', 'window_layouter',
and one of the 'motif_decorator' or 'themed_decorator' subsystems.
Fixes#3024
