<div class="document" id="clip">
|
|
<h1 class="title">CLIP</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>By default, The clip is represented by the icon on the top left of the screen
|
|
containing a paperclip image.</p>
|
|
<div class="borderless figure">
|
|
<img alt="Clip icon" src="images/clip.png">
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>The clip's primary function is to serve as a workspace-specific dock. In other
|
|
words, applications may be attached to the clip just as they are to the dock,
|
|
but the clip and its associated applications are specific to each individual
|
|
workspace - not available on all workspaces as they are on the dock.</p>
|
|
<p>The clip's secondary function is to act as a "pager" - a utility for changing
|
|
from one workspace to another (paging). The arrows at the top right and bottom
|
|
left corners of the clip icon allow you to switch from one workspace to the
|
|
next workspace (top right) or previous workspace (bottom left).</p>
|
|
<p>The current workspace name (if any) and number are displayed on the
|
|
clip.</p>
|
|
<p>The clip also has a number of menu-driven features.</p>
|
|
<div class="section" id="clip-menu">
|
|
<h1>Clip Menu</h1>
|
|
<p>Right-clicking the clip displays a menu.</p>
|
|
<div class="borderless figure">
|
|
<img alt="Clip menu" src="images/menu_clip.png">
|
|
<p class="caption">Clip menu</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section" id="clip-options">
|
|
<h1>Clip Options</h1>
|
|
<p>The first menu item allows you to select clip options. The following options
|
|
are available:</p>
|
|
<ul class="simple">
|
|
<li><p><em>Keep on top</em> - do not allow windows to cover the clip.</p></li>
|
|
<li><p><em>Collapsed</em> - icons attached to the clip are hidden until you left-click the
|
|
clip, which unhides them.</p></li>
|
|
<li><p><em>Autocollapse</em> - same as the previous option, except that mouseing over the
|
|
clip unhides application icons.</p></li>
|
|
<li><p><em>Autoraise</em> - clicking an icon representing a window hidden under a larger
|
|
window brings that window to the front.</p></li>
|
|
<li><p><em>Autoattract icons</em> - selecting this option attracts the icon of any
|
|
application launched on the current workspace. Closing the application
|
|
removes the icon from the clip.</p></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section" id="rename-workspace">
|
|
<h1>Rename Workspace</h1>
|
|
<p>This item gives you to ability to name (or rename) the current workspace.</p>
|
|
<p>Some users tend to group certain applications by workspace and like to name the
|
|
workspace to indicate the nature of the applications on the clip. For example,
|
|
a user might have a browser, an IRC client, and a file transfer application
|
|
clipped on a workspace, and might name that workspace "internet" to indicate
|
|
the workspace's primary function. The user might have a seperate workspace with
|
|
a vector graphics application, an image manipulation application, and an image
|
|
viewer on the clip, and might name that workspace "graphics."</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section" id="other-options">
|
|
<h1>Other Options</h1>
|
|
<p>Right-clicking a clipped application's icon gives options specific to that
|
|
application.</p>
|
|
<ul class="simple">
|
|
<li><p>You may make the application's icon <em>omnipresent</em> (clipped on all
|
|
workspaces).</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>You may <em>select</em> one or all clipped icons.</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>You may <em>move</em> one or all icons to a different workspace.</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>You may <em>remove</em> the icon.</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>You may instruct Window Maker to have all icons <em>attracted</em> to the clip as
|
|
soon as each application is launched, rather than placing them initially in
|
|
the defined location on the display.</p></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>The remaining clip menu items are similar to those of the <a class="reference external" href="dock.html#conf">Dock application
|
|
icon menu</a>. As with the dock, clipped applications may be
|
|
launched, hidden, or killed and their settings (icon used, application launch
|
|
path/arguments, middle-click launch) may be modified.</p>
|
|
<p>From version 0.80.0 on, the clip can "steal" appicons. This feature has nothing
|
|
to do with autoattracting icons. When you start an application from somewhere
|
|
other than either the clip or the dock (i.e., from the menu or a terminal), and
|
|
the application is already either docked or clipped, a new application icon
|
|
does not appear at the bottom of your screen. The icon that is already docked
|
|
or clipped "steals" the icon function. As a result, the icon for the
|
|
newly-launched application is the icon already on the clip or the dock.</p>
