kwmrc

// This is a sample config for Kwm

// Commands prefixed with 'kwmc' will call
// local functions corresponding to the
// kwmc syntax.

// To run a system command, use the prefix
// 'sys' and then the requested command
// e.g 'sys mvim' would open macvim

// Read file and execute commands as
// if they were written inside kwmrc.

// include filename
include rules
// e.g: bind-commands in a separate file called 'binds'
// include binds

// Create variables that can be used in the below commands.
// Variables are in file-scope and must be defined before
// they can be used. Re-definition is also possible.
// Variable names can not contain whitespace, where as
// the value can.

// define variable value

// e.g: create a variable for the hyper-key
// define hyper cmd+ctrl+alt+shift
// kwmc bind hyper-h window -f west
