## 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

view.

> 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 sets the window to be floating.

two hotkeys being `Manager_logViewWindowList` and `Manager_logManagedWindowList`.

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

> This has only an effect, if the tile layout is active.

> 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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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)`

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

Rotate the master axis.

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

> This has only an effect, if the tile layout is active.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
`Config_hotkey=#^Down::View_setLayoutProperty(MY, 0, -1)`
