NAME

       dvtm - dynamic virtual terminal manager

SYNOPSIS

       dvtm  [-v]  [-M]  [-m modifier] [-d delay] [-h lines] [-t title] [-s status-fifo] [-c cmd-
       fifo] [command ...]

DESCRIPTION

       dvtm is a dynamic tiling window manager for the console.  As a console window  manager  it
       tries to make it easy to work with multiple console based applications.

OPTIONS

       -v     Print version information to standard output and exit.

       -M     Toggle  default  mouse  grabbing  upon  startup.  Use  this  to  allow normal mouse
              operation under X.

       -m modifier
              Set command modifier at runtime.

       -d delay
              Set the delay ncurses waits before deciding if a character that might be part of an
              escape sequence is actually part of an escape sequence.

       -h lines
              Set the scrollback history buffer size at runtime.

       -t title
              Set a static terminal title and don't change it to the one of the currently focused
              window.

       -s status-fifo
              Open or create the named pipe status-fifo read its content and display  it  in  the
              statusbar. See the dvtm-status script for an usage example.

       -c cmd-fifo
              Open  or create the named pipe cmd-fifo and look for commands to execute which were
              defined in config.h.

       command ...
              Execute command(s), each in a separate window.

USAGE

   Keyboard commands

   Mouse commands
       Copy and Paste
              By default dvtm  captures  mouse  events  to  provide  the  actions  listed  below.
              Unfortunately  this  interferes  with  the standard X copy and paste mechanism.  To
              work around this you need to hold down  Shift  while  selecting  or  pasting  text.
              Alternatively you can disable mouse support at compile time, start dvtm with the -M
              flag or toggle mouse support during runtime with Mod-M.

       Button1 click
              Focus window.

       Button1 double click
              Focus window and toggle maximization.

       Button2 click
              Zoom/cycle current window to/from master area.

       Button3 click
              Toggle minimization of current window.

   Copy mode
       Copy mode gives easy access to past output.  The commands use  vi  style  keybindings  and
       support number prefixes as command multipliers.

       Entering
              Copy mode can be entered with Mod-v.

       Navigation
              Once in, navigation works with vi style keybindings (h,j,k,l,^,$,g,H,M,L,G) as well
              as with the Arrows/Home/End/Page-Down/Page-Up  keys.   CTRL+u  can  be  used  as  a
              synonym for Page-Up and similarly CTRL+d corresponds to a Page-Down.

       Searching
              Search  forward  with  /  and backwards with ?.  Jump forward to next match with n.
              Jump backwards to next match with N.

       Selecting
              To start making a selection press v (similar to visual mode in vi).

       Copying
              To copy the current selection use y.  If you haven't made a selection  the  current
              line  is  copied.   Add  a  number prefix to copy n lines starting from the current
              line.  This command leaves the copy mode.

       Pasting
              The previously copied text can be pasted at the current cursor position with Mod-p.

       Leaving
              Copy mode is automatically left upon copying something. To  manually  exit  at  any
              time press either ESC, CTRL+c or q.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       By  default dvtm uses its own terminfo file and therefore sets TERM=dvtm within the client
       windows. This can be overridden by setting the DVTM_TERM environment variable to  a  valid
       terminal name before launching dvtm.

EXAMPLE

       See the dvtm-status script as an example of how to display text in the status bar.

CUSTOMIZATION

       dvtm  is customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source code.  This
       keeps it fast, secure and simple.
