8 dvtm is a dynamic tiling window manager for the console.
9 As a console window manager it tries to make it easy to work with multiple
10 console based applications.
14 prints version information to standard output, then exits.
17 set default modifier at runtime.
20 set the delay ncurses waits before deciding if a character that might be part
21 of an escape sequence is actually part of an escape sequence.
24 set the scrollback history buffer size at runtime.
27 if status-fifo is a named pipe, its content is read and displayed. See the dvtm-status script
31 Execute cmd after dvtm is started.
36 Each keybinding begins with Mod which defaults to ^g but can be changed in config.h or with
37 the -m command line option.
40 Create a new shell window.
46 Increases the master area width about 5% (all except grid and fullscreen layout).
49 Decreases the master area width about 5% (all except grid and fullscreen layout).
55 Focus previous window.
63 Toggle minimization of current window.
66 Focus next non minimized window.
69 Focus prev non minimized window.
72 Maximize current window (change to fullscreen layout).
81 Toggle between defined layouts (affects all windows).
84 Zooms/cycles current window to/from master area.

105 Toggle keyboard multiplexing mode, if activated keypresses are sent to all non minimized windows.
111 Toggle bell (off by default).
114 Toggle dvtm mouse grabbing.
121 By default dvtm captures mouse events to provide the actions listed below. Unfortunately
122 this interferes with the standard X copy and paste mechanism. To work around this
123 you need to hold down SHIFT while selecting or pasting text. Alternatively you can
124 disable mouse support at compile time, or use Mod\-M to toggle mouse support dynamically.
129 .B Button1 double click
130 Select window and toggle maximization.
133 Zooms/cycles current window to/from master area.
136 Toggle minimization of current window.
140 See the dvtm-status script as an example.
143 dvtm is customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source
144 code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.
