Expo is a simple and straightforward way to get a visual
|
|
impression of all your current virtual desktops that many
|
|
compositing window managers use. It's not a very powerful
|
|
approach, but a very intuitive one and especially fits workflows
|
|
that use lots of temporary windows or those in which the
|
|
workspaces are mentally arranged in a grid.
|
|
|
|
i3expo emulates that function within the limitations of a
|
|
non-compositing window manager. By listening to the IPC,
|
|
it takes a screenshot whenever a window event occurs.
|
|
Thanks to an extremely fast C library, this produces negligible
|
|
overhead in normal operation and allows the script to remember
|
|
what state you left a workspace in.
|
|
|
|
The script is run as a background process and reacts to signals
|
|
in order to open its UI in which you get an overview of the known
|
|
state of your workspaces and can select another with the mouse or
|
|
keyboard.
