Awesome

awesome est un gestionnaire de fenêtres libre fonctionnant au dessus de X Window System sur les machines de type UNIX. Son objectif est de rester très petit et de proposer plusieurs dispositions des fenêtres (maximisation, flottante, placées automatiquement comme Ion).

adaptation au bépo

Awesome utilise les touches HJKL pour se déplacer et modifier la taille des fenêtres. Ces touches ont une position physique important et on se doit de retranscrire le même comportement d'où un changement des touches :

H -> C
J -> T
K -> S
L -> R

Malheureusement CTR sont utilisés pour faire d'autres choses sur awesome, donc je vais les réassigner à des places libres :

C -> X (pour avoir la même place physique et pouvoir fermer une fenêtre à une seule main)
T -> J (c'est le même changement que dans vim et vimperator)
R -> H (pas vraiment de logique…)

Awesome utilise aussi les chiffres pour changer de bureau, c'est très pratique en qwerty mais nous n'avons pas les chiffres en accès direct. J'ai utilisé la FAQ Française pour une solution.

configuration pour awesome 3.1

Sous archlinux le fichier de configuration est dans ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua

En gras vous avez mes changements opérés dans la partie Key bindings du fichier de configuration. ATTENTION, ceci n'est pas le fichier de configuration complet mais juste la partie Key bindings !
