LXQt是已经轻量级的桌面环境,默认使用的Openbox作为窗口管理器,Openbox没有内建平铺窗口的功能,所以实现类似Windows的平铺窗口比较折腾。
Tiling windows in GNOME介绍了一些解决思路:
- 将窗口管理器替换成compiz,则可以利用Compiz Settings manager和插件Grid来实现,这样就可以非常方便使用
Ctrl+Alt
结合数字键移动和改变窗口贴合格子。 - 如果不使用compiz则可以使用x-tile,这个工具介绍显示适用于多种桌面环境,包括LXDE。但是,我在LXQt环境中会遇到Segment Fault。
Poor man's Tiling Window manager绍了一个stiler.py通用的平铺窗口python脚本,其工作原理是通过wmctrl(一种命令行获取窗口和桌面信息以及管理窗口的工具)来平铺窗口。适用于兼容wm窗口的窗口管理器,例如pekwm, openbox, metacity 和 compiz。
- 从 http://github.com/soulfx/stiler 下载stiler.py,存放到/usr/bin目录
Standard layout_options:
simple - The basic tiling layout . 1 Main + all other at the side.
swap - Will swap the active window to master column
cycle - Cycle all the windows in the master pane
vertical - Simple vertical tiling
horizontal - Simple horizontal tiling
maximize - Maximize the active window/ for openbox which doesn't permit resizing of max windows
max_all - Maximize all windows
Grid layout_options:
The following grid options mimic the functionality of compiz's grid plugin which in turn mimics the functionality of winsplit revolution.
top_left - Place the active window in the top left corner of the screen
top - Place the active window along the top of the screen
top_right - Place the active window in the top right corner of the screen
left,right - Does the new windows7 ish style of sticking to the sides.
middle - Place the active window in the middle of the screen
bottom_left - Place the active window in the bottom left corner of the screen
bottom - Place the active window along the bottom of the screen
bottom_right - Place the active window in the bottom right corner of the screen
swap_grid - Swap the active window with the largest window
- 安装依赖软件
wmctrl
yum install wmctl
- 使用LXDE内建的快捷键来驱动平铺模式
不过,在LXQt中使用上述方式平铺窗口,窗口定位不是非常准确,有可能需要连续按2次才能正确定位。
