Tab	Cycle through windows/matches
Escape	Leave input mode/exit selector
Return	Focus currently selected and hide/exit selector
Any capital/digit	Select client prefixed with capital letter/digit
Any text	Select client with matching instance name

Usage¶

Either call it like ruby selector.rb from commandline or add following loader and grab to your subtle config.

Numbers: on /off 1 begin
 2   require "#{ENV["HOME"]}/path/to/selector.rb" 
 3 rescue LoadError => error
 4   puts error
 5 end
 6 
 7 grab "W-x" do
 8   Subtle::Contrib::Selector.run
 9 end

Install¶

Currently there is no package available and you need either to clone the repository:

hg clone http://hg.subforge.org/subtle-contrib

Or download the latest archive:

http://hg.subforge.org/subtle-contrib/archive/tip.tar.bz2

These scripts may work, if you encounter any problems please ask in the usual places.

Configuration¶

Per default, the selector uses fixed as font and loads entries from /usr/bin. This can be changed after requiring the selector.rb and before running it for the first time.

Fonts¶

Numbers: on /off1 begin
2   require "#{ENV["HOME"]}/path/to/selector.rb" 
3 
4   # Set font
5   Subtle::Contrib::Selector.font = "xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:pixelsize=80:antialias=true" 
6 rescue LoadError => error
7   puts error
8 end
