Configuring window manager button bindings

About window manager functions

Window manager functions are a component of every section of the system-wide window manager configuration file (system.pmwmrc or system.mwmrc) and the local configuration file (.pmwmrc or .mwmrc). The system-wide and local configuration files use window manager functions to define the behavior of mouse buttons, keys, and menu panes.

You configure button bindings by associating each mouse button with at least one window manager function. For example, the f.move function is defined to allow a client window to be interactively moved. If you bind mouse button 3 to a client window with the f.move function, the window moves with the mouse each time you press and hold down mouse button 3. This button binding definition would look like this:

   Buttons  bindings_set_name
   {
           .         .           .
       <Btn3Down>  window     f.move
           .         .           .
           .         .           .
   }
