movetoedge

Description

This patch adds functionality to move windows to edges easily.

Usage

  1. Put the following movetoedge() function somewhere in your dwm.c,

after the line which includes the config.h file:

void
movetoedge(const Arg *arg) {

/only floating windows can be moved/ 

	Client *c;
	c = selmon->sel;
	int x, y, nx, ny;


	if (!c || !arg)
		return;
	if (selmon->lt[selmon->sellt]->arrange && !c->isfloating)
		return;
	if (sscanf((char *)arg->v, "%d %d", &x, &y) != 2)
		return;

	if(x == 0)
		nx = (selmon->mw - c->w)/2;
	else if(x == -1)
		nx = borderpx;
	else if(x == 1)
		nx = selmon->mw - (c->w + 2 * borderpx);
	else
		nx = c->x;

	if(y == 0)
		ny = (selmon->mh - (c->h + bh))/2;
	else if(y == -1)
		ny = bh + borderpx;
	else if(y == 1)
		ny = selmon->mh - (c->h + 2 * borderpx);
	else 
		ny = c->y;


	XRaiseWindow(dpy, c->win);
	resize(c, nx, ny, c->w, c->h, True);
}
  1. Add a movetoedge() function definition in dwm.c below the line:
static void movetoedge(const Arg *arg);
  1. In config file :
{ MODKEY, 			XK_KP_End,    movetoedge,       {.v = "-1 1" } },
{ MODKEY, 			XK_KP_Down,   movetoedge,       {.v = "0 1" } },
{ MODKEY, 			XK_KP_Next,   movetoedge,       {.v = "1 1" } },
{ MODKEY, 			XK_KP_Left,   movetoedge,       {.v = "-1 0" } },
{ MODKEY, 			XK_KP_Begin,  movetoedge,       {.v = "0 0" } },
{ MODKEY, 			XK_KP_Right,  movetoedge,       {.v = "1 0" } },
{ MODKEY, 			XK_KP_Home,   movetoedge,       {.v = "-1 -1" } },
{ MODKEY, 			XK_KP_Up,     movetoedge,       {.v = "0 -1" } },
{ MODKEY, 			XK_KP_Prior,  movetoedge,       {.v = "1 -1" } },
