## Default hotkeys

### General description

The hotkeys, as you can set them in `Config.ini`, are noted in the format
`Config_hotkey=<modifier><key>::<function>(<argument>)`; you may copy the
string from ` ` and use it as a template for a new line in `Config.ini`.
Possible modifiers are the following:

* `!` <kbd>Alt</kbd>
* `^` <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>, Control
* `#` <kbd>Win</kbd> / LWin, the left Windows key
* `+` <kbd>Shift</kbd>

You will have to press all keys of a hotkey at the same time beginning with the
modifier for calling the associated function, e. g. `#^q` means pressing the
left 'Windows key' and the 'Control key' and the 'Q key'
(<kbd>Win</kbd><kbd>Ctrl</kbd><kbd>Q</kbd>) for quitting bug.n.

### Window management

: Activate the next window in the active view.

`Config_hotkey=#Up::View_activateWindow(0, -1)`
: Activate the previous window in the active view.

`Config_hotkey=#+Down::View_shuffleWindow(0, +1)`
: Move the active window to the next position in the window list of the view.

`Config_hotkey=#+Up::View_shuffleWindow(0, -1)`
: Move the active window to the previous position in the window list of the view.

`Config_hotkey=#+Enter::View_shuffleWindow(1)`

> You may also move the active window to any other absolute position in the
window list by using the first parameter.

`Config_hotkey=#c::Manager_closeWindow()`
: Close the active window.

`Config_hotkey=#+d::Window_toggleDecor()`
: Show / Hide the title bar of the active window.

`Config_hotkey=#+f::View_toggleFloatingWindow()`
: Toggle the floating status of the active window.

> The floating status effects the tiling of the active window (i. e. dis- / 
regard it).

`Config_hotkey=#^m::Manager_minimizeWindow()`
: Minimize the active window.

> This implicitly makes the window floating.

`Config_hotkey=#+m::Manager_moveWindow()`
: Move the active window by key (only floating windows).

`Config_hotkey=#+s::Manager_sizeWindow()`
: Resize the active window by key (only floating windows).

`Config_hotkey=#+x::Manager_maximizeWindow()`
: Move and resize the active window to the size of the work area (only floating
windows).

`Config_hotkey=#i::Manager_getWindowInfo()`
: Get information for the active window.

> The information being id, title, class, process name, style, geometry, tags and 
floating state.

`Config_hotkey=#+i::Manager_getWindowList()`
: Get a window list for the active view.

> The list contains information about the window id, title and class.

`Config_hotkey=!Down::View_moveWindow(0, +1)`
: Manually move the active window to the next area in the layout.

`Config_hotkey=!Up::View_moveWindow(0, -1)`
: Manually move the active window to the previous area in the layout.

`Config_hotkey=!+Enter::Manager_maximizeWindow()`
: Move and resize the active window to the size of the work area (only floating
windows).

`Config_hotkey=!<n>::View_moveWindow(<n>)`
: Manually move the active window to the n<sup><small>th</small></sup> area in
the layout (n = 1..9).

`Config_hotkey=!0::View_moveWindow(10)`
: Manually move the active window to the n<sup><small>th</small></sup> area in
the layout.

`Config_hotkey=!BackSpace::View_toggleStackArea()`
: Toggle the stack area of the layout. 

> If the stack area is disabled, the master area takes up the whole view.

### Window debugging

`Config_hotkey=#^i::Debug_logViewWindowList()`
: Dump window information on the windows of the active view to the log.

`Config_hotkey=#+^i::Debug_logManagedWindowList()`

two log messages to the log.

> The previous two hotkeys being `Manager_logViewWindowList` and 
`Manager_logManagedWindowList`.

`Config_hotkey=#^d::Debug_setLogLevel(0, -1)`

> This results in showing fewer debug messages. You may also set the debug log 
level to an absolute value by using the first parameter.

`Config_hotkey=#^+d::Debug_setLogLevel(0, +1)`
: Increment the debug log level. 

> This results in showing more debug messages. You may also set the debug log 
level to an absolute value by using the first parameter.

### Layout management

`Config_hotkey=#Tab::View_setLayout(-1)`

> You may also use `View_setLayout(0, +1)` for setting the next or 
`View_setLayout(0, -1)` for setting the previous layout in the layout array.

`Config_hotkey=#f::View_setLayout(3)`
: Set the floating layout.

`Config_hotkey=#m::View_setLayout(2)`

`Config_hotkey=#Left::View_setLayoutProperty(MFactor, 0, -0.05)`

layout). 

> You may also set an additional parameter for accelerating the third one. E. g. 
with `Config_hotkey=#Left::View_setLayoutProperty(MFactor, 0, -0.05, 2)` the 
first step, by which the master area is reduced, is -0.0016% and will be 
doubled with consecutive calls until it reaches -0.05%.
With the second parameter you may set an absolute value, e. g.
`View_setLayoutProperty(MFactor, 0.5, 0)` splits the view in half.

`Config_hotkey=#Right::View_setLayoutProperty(MFactor, 0, +0.05)`
: Enlarge the size of the master area in the active view (only for the "tile"
layout). 

> You may also set a additional parameter for accelerating the third one. E. g. 
with `Config_hotkey=#Right::View_setLayoutProperty(MFactor, 0, +0.05, 0.5)` the
first step, by which the master area is reduced, is 0.05%, but with consecutive
calls it will be halved until it reaches 0.0016%.
With the second parameter you may set an absolute value, e. g.
`View_setLayoutProperty(MFactor, 0.67, 0)` makes the master area two thirds
and the stacking area one third the size of the view.

`Config_hotkey=#^t::View_setLayoutProperty(Axis, 0, +1, 1)`
: Rotate the layout axis (only for the "tile" layout).

> I. e. 2 -> 1 = vertical layout, 1 -> 2 = horizontal layout.

`Config_hotkey=#^Enter::View_setLayoutProperty(Axis, 0, +2, 1)`

-2 -> 2 / 2 -> -2 = master at top / bottom.

`Config_hotkey=#^Tab::View_setLayoutProperty(Axis, 0, +1, 2)`
: Rotate the master axis (only for the "tile" layout).

> I. e. 3 -> 1 = x-axis = horizontal stack, 1 -> 2 = y-axis = vertical stack, 
2 -> 3 = z-axis = monocle.

`Config_hotkey=#^+Tab::View_setLayoutProperty(Axis, 0, +1, 3)`
: Rotate the stack axis (only for the "tile" layout).

> I. e. 3 -> 1 = x-axis = horizontal stack, 1 -> 2 = y-axis = vertical stack, 
2 -> 3 = z-axis = monocle.

`Config_hotkey=#^Up::View_setLayoutProperty(MY, 0, +1)`

Minimum of 1.

`Config_hotkey=#^Right::View_setLayoutProperty(MX, 0, +1)`
: Increase the master X dimension by 1 (only for the "tile" layout).

> This results in an increased number of windows in the master area by Y. 
Maximum of 9.

`Config_hotkey=#^Left::View_setLayoutProperty(MX, 0, +1)`
: Decrease the master X dimension by 1 (only for the "tile" layout).

> This results in a decreased number of windows in the master area by Y. 
Minimum of 1.

`Config_hotkey=#+Left::View_setLayoutProperty(GapWidth, 0, -2)`
: Decrease the gap between windows in "monocle" and "tile" layout. 

> You may also set an absolute value for the gap width by using the first 
parameter, e. g. `View_setLayoutProperty(GapWidth, 0, 0)` will eliminate the 
gap and `View_setLayoutProperty(GapWidth, 20, 0)` will set it to 20px.

`Config_hotkey=#+Right::View_setLayoutProperty(GapWidth, 0, +2)`

the window lists. It is like Quitting and restarting bug.n.
If `Config_autoSaveSession` is not set to `off`, the window lists can be
restored and windows are put to their associated monitor and views.

`Config_hotkey=#^q::ExitApp`
