Command

Hello,

What's the shell command for closing a windows ?

I want to do ALT+F4 but with a command.
I know the HotKeys. But how to do that with the shell ?

I have idea to replace the border with a command in taskbar.

Next, what's the command for move, maximise...

Thank's !

Re: Command

Maybe wmctrl has sufficient control on windows, try it ;-)

Wmctrl is a command line tool to interact with an EWMH/NetWM compatible X Window Manager

Re: Command

May I suggest some keyboard/mouse tips on windows:

Alt+Mouse1 = Move window
Alt+Mouse2 = Send window to bottom
Alt+Mouse3 = Resize window
Alt+Mouse4/5 = Set window transparent/opaque

Alt+Shift+<arrows> = Resize window
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+<arrows> = Move window
Ctrl+Alt+Page Down/up = Send window to bottom/top
Alt+F8 = Minimize window
Alt+F9 = Shade/Unshade window
Alt+F10 = Stick/Unstick
Alt+F11 = Fullscreen (at least here smile)

Hrmf, I forget about the documentation: http://www.xfce.org/documentation/docs- … wm-windows

exit will close any terminal. Other programs: it'll depend, or (often) no possibly short of killing the program which you can do easily with pkill (with apttern to locate the right one).

Re: Command
