CrunchBang Window Manager Hacks
Scripts for adding hot corners and aero style window snapping to Openbox. Written for CrunchBang Linux (http://crunchbang.org/).
cb-hotcorner usage:
This script is designed to be started automatically on login via Openbox's autostart file:
# Start hotcorner detection:
cb-hotcorners --daemon &
Once started, the script will detect when the mouse cursor enters the corners of your screen. If the corner has an associated command, it will get executed.
Command line usage:
cb-hotcorners: usage:
--help show this message and exit
--kill attempt to kill any running instances
--daemon run daemon and listen for cursor triggers
Customising commands:
On first use, a config file will be created
~/.config/cb-hotcorners/cb-hotcornersrc. The file should be
self-explanatory.
cb-aerosnap usage:
This script is designed to be called via Openbox keyboard shortucts. Edit Openbox's rc.xml file to add new shortcuts. Example shortcuts to bind snapping to Super+Alt+Left/Right key combinations:
<keybind key="W-A-Left">
<action name="Execute">
<command>cb-aerosnap --left</command>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-A-Right">
<action name="Execute">
<command>cb-aerosnap --right</command>
</action>
</keybind>
Command line usage:
cb-aerosnap: usage:
--help show this message and exit
--left attempt to snap active window to left of screen
--right attempt to snap active window to right of screen
