Command: wmove

Syntax

wmove <window>

Description

Reposition a window.

Parameters

• <window>
  A window identifier.

Switches

• -j=<just>
  The justification point. This, when combined with the -pos switch, indicates which point on the window is being used for repositioning. This may be any combination of L (left), R (right), T (top), B (bottom) and M (middle) . This is a string value. The default is "TL", the top-left corner.

• -pos=<screen_xy>
  Redefine the new position of the window. <screen_xy> should be a 2-element numeric array, or two numeric values within hairpins. The values are in pixels with 0,0 being the top left corner of the full screen.

Notes

If the -pos switch is omitted, the window will be repositioned via an interactive draggable box.

If the window is not currently in use, interactive moves will not be performed, but the -pos values will be used to set the window position for when the window contents become defined.

A window can also be moved by window manager mouse action or by redefining window structure values.
