NAME
+ +
+ + rio – rio-like Window Manager for X
+ +
+

SYNOPSIS
+ +
+ + rio [ –font fontname ] [ –grey ] [ –s ] [ –term termprog ] [ –version + ] [ –virtuals num ] [ exit | restart ]
+ +
+

DESCRIPTION
+ +
+ + Rio is a window manager for X which attempts to emulate the window + management policies of Plan 9’s rio window manager. Rio is derived + from David Hogan’s 8½. +
+ + The –grey option makes the background stippled grey, the default + X11 background, instead of solid grey, the Plan 9 background. + +
+ + The –font option sets the font in rio’s menu to fname, overriding + the default. Unlike the other programs in the Plan 9 ports, rio + expects this font to be an X11 font rather than a Plan 9 font. + +
+ + The –term option specifies an alternative program to run when the + New menu item is selected. The default is to try 9term(1) and + then to fall back to xterm(1). The –s option causes rio to add + −s to 9term’s command-line, starting the window in scrolling mode. + +
+ + The –version option prints the current version on standard error, + then exits. +
+ + The –virtuals option sets the number of virtual screens (the default + is 1, and the maximum is 12). +
+ + If the argument exit or restart is given, it is sent to an already-running + rio, causing the extant rio to exit or restart.
+

Using rio
+ +
+ + One window is current, and is indicated with a dark border and + text; characters typed on the keyboard are available in the /dev/cons + file of the process in the current window. Characters written + on /dev/cons appear asynchronously in the associated window whether + or not the window is current. +
+ + Windows are created, deleted and rearranged using the mouse. Clicking + (pressing and releasing) mouse button 1 in a non-current window + makes that window current and brings it in front of any windows + that happen to be overlapping it. When the mouse cursor points + to the background area or is in a window that has + not claimed the mouse for its own use, pressing mouse button 3 + activates a menu of window operations provided by rio. Releasing + button 3 then selects an operation. At this point, a gunsight + or cross cursor indicates that an operation is pending. The button + 3 menu operations are:
+ New      Create a window. Press button 3 where one corner of the new + rectangle should appear (cross cursor), and move the mouse, while + holding down button 3, to the diagonally opposite corner. Releasing + button 3 creates the window, and makes it current. Very small + windows may not be created. The new + +
+ + +
+ + window is created running termprog, by default 9term(1) or, if + 9term is not available, xterm(1).
+ +
+ +
+ Resize   Change the size and location of a window. First click button + 3 in the window to be changed (gunsight cursor). Then sweep out + a window as for the New operation. The window is made current.
+ Move     Move a window to another location. After pressing and holding + button 3 over the window to be moved (gunsight cursor), indicate + the new position by dragging the rectangle to the new location. + The window is made current. Windows may be moved partially off-screen.
+ Delete   Delete a window. Click in the window to be deleted (gunsight + cursor). Deleting a window causes a hangup note to be sent to + all processes in the window’s process group (see notify(3)).
+ Hide     Hide a window. Click in the window to be hidden (gunsight + cursor); it will be moved off-screen. Each hidden window is given + a menu entry in the button 3 menu according to its current window + system label.
+ label     Restore a hidden window. +
+ + Windows may also be arranged by dragging their borders. Pressing + button 1 or 2 over a window’s border allows one to move the corresponding + edge or corner, while button 3 moves the whole window. +
+ + When the mouse cursor points to the background area and rio has + been started with multiple virtual screens using the –virtuals + option, clicking button 2 brings up a menu to select a virtual + screen to view. Scrolling the mouse wheel while the cursor points + at the background will cycle through the virtual screens. + +

+

BUGS
+ +
+ + In Plan 9’s rio, clicking button 2 or button 3 to select a window + also sends that event to the window itself. This rio does not. + +
+ + The command-line syntax is non-standard. +
+ + In Plan 9’s rio, newly started applications take over the current + window. This rio starts a new window for each program. (In X11, + it appears to be impossible to know which window starts a particular + program.) +
+ + There is a currently a compiled-in limit of 128 hidden windows.
