Synopsis[]

Lets you configure bindings to bring focus to specific windows or start a program if it doesn't exist.

Description[]

Lets you configure bindings to bring focus to specific windows or start a program if it doesn't exist.

Installation[]

  1. Save gimme.jl in your load-path.
  2. Add the following to your ~/.sawfishrc:
    (require 'gimme)

Configuration[]

Customize your bindings to use some of the gimme functions, for example:

     M-S-e gimme-exact-class "Emacs" "emacs"

When you hit meta+shift+e, Sawfish will focus to the first found Emacs window, switching workspaces if necessary, or run "emacs" in the background if not found.

Configure Sawfish with the programs you use every day, disconnect your mouse and see how long you can do without it.
