Hi, I have customised the content of the script /home/leigh/.config/i3/scripts/keyhint.sh to include my custom keybinds etc All works well, except that I now have more entries in the table and I am trying to make the window higher/longer so that I dont have to scroll to see the last entries I loo…

For future reference - I found these: From http://sites.science.oregonstate.edu/~landaur/nacphy/coping-with-unix/node126.html In ‘CreateWindow’ The coordinate system has the X axis horizontal and the Y axis vertical with the origin [0, 0] at the upper-left corner. Coordinates are integral, in t…

--geometry=400xhight-15-400 so second not 4. p.e. --geometry=400x600-15-400 [2021-11-07_18-15]

Thanks very much for the replies, sorry, that was a Typo - when I wrote ‘Fourth’ I meant ‘Second’ :blush: And, sorry for answering my own question, but the act of asking the question sparked my brain into finding the answer :blush: I had put this in my .config, which was restricting the floating …

Thanks! So +0+0 is centred I guess Could someone direct me to a link with the definitions of the coordinate system please, to stop me asking more silly questions? what is eos_yad vs yad, by the way? Also, the window positioning isnt the same on both monitors (the floating window appears on the s…

Some sources of information about yad: man yad source code of yad: https://github.com/v1cont/yad a yad tutorial (old but nice): https://smokey01.com/yad/index.html eos_yad is a slightly modified version of yad. Yad code was patched to fix the height problem with some yad windows. Additionally, …

Thanks, I did look at man yad but it says, --geometry=WIDTHxHEIGHT+X+Y Use standard X Window geometry notation for placing dialog. When this option is used, width, height, posx, posy, mouse and center options are ignored. But I just cant find what ‘standard X Window geometry notat…

Solution is the solution! :wink: :smile:
