NAME
       WinCommand - AfterStep module for choosing and manipulating windows
       based on patterns




CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
DESCRIPTION
       WinCommand is a command line tool which allows you to select windows
       based on their name and to then manipulate them in various ways.
       Actions currently supported are: "center", "center jump", "iconify",
       "jump", "kill", "move", "resize" and "sendtodesk".


DEFAULTS
       The default pattern is "", meaning all windows will be selected.

       All other default-values depend on the action you would like WinCommand
       to take. If more than one action is specified, default-values are set
       depending on the last action specified.


ACTIONS
       center

              Place matching windows into the center of the screen.




       center jump:

              Places first window that matches into the center of the screen
              and jumps to it.




       iconify:

              Iconifies matching windows.




       jump:

              Jumps to the first window which matches.




       kill:

              Kills all matching windows.




       move:

              Moves all matching windows to x/y. x and y are specified using
              the -x and -y flags.




       resize:

              Resize all matching windows. The two parameters width and height
              are specified using the -width and -height flags.




       send_to_desk:

              Send all matching windows to desk specified with the -new_desk
              flag.



OPTIONS
       -all

              Operate on all windows which match the given pattern. This is
              set by default unless the action is either "jump" or "center
              jump".




       -alldesks

              Windows on all desks will be taken into account. This is set by
              default if action is either "jump" or "center jump".




       -desk

              Windows on the whole desk will be taken into account.




       -x/-y

              These are required when issuing the move-command.




       -width/-height

              These are required whenever you want to resize windows.


              Examples WinCommand -pattern term iconify

              This command will iconify all terminals. Since the specified
              pattern is a regular expression, something like this also works:

              WinCommand -pattern "(term)|(moz)" iconify

              This will iconify all terminals and mozilla-browser windows.

              WinCommand -pattern xmm jump

              will jump to your xmms. In this situation, it's far more
              advisable to use GWCommand though.


              It is probably not a good idea to delete windows while windows
              are being arranged.
