Setting Descriptions

  • enable_hotarea — Toggles overview when the cursor enters the configured corner.
  • hotarea_size — Size of the hot area trigger zone in pixels.
  • hotarea_corner — Corner that triggers the hot area (0: top-left, 1: top-right, 2: bottom-left, 3: bottom-right).
  • jump_labels — Defines the ordered characters used for jump hints when in overview jump mode. Each visible window is assigned a label in this order, and pressing the corresponding key jumps to that window. The number of labels limits how many windows can be assigned hints at once.

overcircle opens overview; while overview is open, each trigger cycles focus to the next window on the current monitor. Release a modifier key or run toggleoverview to close it.

Mouse Interaction in Overview

When in overview mode:

  • Left mouse button — Jump to (focus) a window.
  • Right mouse button — Close a window.
