## Features

sdorfehs retains most of ratpoison's features while adding some more modern
···
124
130
`~/.config/sdorfehs` directory which ensures the requesting process
125
131
has the ability to make socket connections and can write to that
126
132
path.

## Tips
129
-
130
-
- Enable the `ignoreresizehints` setting (`set ignoreresizehints 1`) to force
131
-
windows to conform to the frame size, eliminating any gap around windows like
132
-
terminals that supply resize hints to request sizing in a multiple of their
133
-
font size.
134
-
135
-
- Enable xterm's `allowSendEvents` setting to allow sdorfehs to send a fake
136
-
`Control+a` key when pressing `Control+a, a` (which runs its `meta` command).
137
-
xterm disables this by default as a security measure to prevent other programs
138
-
from sending it arbitrary key input.
139
-
140
-
- Since sdorfehs does not color active and inactive window borders differently
141
-
by default (though this can be done by setting `bwcolor` and `fwcolor`), a
142
-
compositor like
143
-
[Compton](https://github.com/chjj/compton)
144
-
can be used with its `inactive-dim` setting to dim inactive windows.
145
-
Its `use-ewmh-active-win` setting should also be enabled since sdorfehs focuses
146
-
its own input windows periodically, and it supports EWMH hints to inform
147
-
Compton which window should actually be considered focused.
148
-
149
-
- While most default key bindings require the prefix command key (`Control+a`
150
-
by default), keys can be bound without them in the `top` keymap.
151
-
For example, `definekey top F1 vselect 0` will switch to the first virtual
152
-
screen when `F1` is pressed.
153
-
154
-
A related tip: if you have bound a key to an action and then need to send
155
-
that key to a window, you can do it with the `meta` command accessible via the
156
-
interactive input menu (`Control+a, :meta F1`), or with
157
-
`sdorfehs -c "meta F1"`.
