NAME¶

Devilspie2 - perform scripted actions on windows as they are created

Description¶

Devilspie2 is a program that detects windows as they are created and performs scripted actions on them. The scripts are written in Lua, allowing a great deal of customisation.

More details in /usr/share/doc/devilspie2/README.

Options¶

--version

Displays the version of Devilspie2.

--folder folder

Sets the folder where the Lua scripts are loaded from.

--debug

Shows debug information from the Lua scripts. If debug_print is used in the Lua scripts, that output will only be printed to stdout if this option is used.

--emulate

Emulation mode. This prevents windows from being affected by the scripts, but window positions etc. can still be read.

--wnck-version

Show the version of libwnck in use. (Only available on GTK3 or later.)

Script Commands¶

See the README or the manual linked from the homepage for a detailed description
