Default hotkeys
General description
The hotkeys, as you can set them in Config.ini, are noted in the format
<modifier><key>::<function>(<argument>).
Possible modifiers are the following:
!(Alt)^(Ctrl, Control)#(LWin, left Windows)+(Shift)
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' (Win+Ctrl+Q) for
quitting bug.n.

#^Tab::View_rotateLayoutAxis(2, +1)
Rotate the master axis (i. e. 3 -> 1 = x-axis = horizontal stack, 1 -> 2 = y-axis = vertical stack, 2 -> 3 = z-axis = monocle, only for the "tile" layout).
#^+Tab::View_rotateLayoutAxis(3, +1)
Rotate the stack axis (i. e. 3 -> 1 = x-axis = horizontal stack, 1 -> 2 = y-axis = vertical stack, 2 -> 3 = z-axis = monocle, only for the "tile" layout).
#^Up::View_setMY(+1)
Increase the master Y dimension by 1, i.e. increase the number of windows in the master area by X. Maximum of 9 (only for the "tile" layout).
#^Down::View_setMY(-1)
Decrease the master Y dimension by 1, i.e. decrease the number of windows in the master area by X. Minimum of 1 (only for the "tile" layout).

#<n>::Monitor_activateView(<n>)
Activate the nth view (n = 1..
Config_viewCount).
#+<n>::Monitor_setWindowTag(<n>)

Config_viewCount).
#^<n>::Monitor_toggleWindowTag(<n>)

#^r::Main_reload()
Reload bug.n (i. e. the configuration and its dependent settings) without deleting the window lists of bug.n and restoring windows.
- It does not reset internal configuration variables, the tray icon or menu,
hotkeys (unless defined in
Config.ini), individual window settings likeConfig_showBorder(since windows might be hidden) or hiding the title bar, the monitor count or views. - It does not reload the monitor configuration and therefor does not recognize any changes in the number of monitors.
- It does not reload functions.
- Changed rules are only applied to new windows.
#^+r::Reload
Reload bug.n (i. e. the whole script), which resets the configuration, the bar, the monitor configuration and window lists of bug.n. It is like Quitting and restarting bug.n.
#^q::ExitApp
