/*
This is a sample config for Kwm
Commands prefixed with 'kwmc' will call
local functions corresponding to the
kwmc syntax.
To run an external program or command,
use the prefix 'exec' followed by command.
e.g 'exec mvim' would open macvim
Read file and execute commands as
if they were written inside kwmrc.
include filename
e.g: bindsym-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 bindsym hyper-h window -f west
