The mouse
config file variable defines a set of global mouse actions, and
is a list of :class:`~libqtile.config.Click` and :class:`~libqtile.config.Drag`
objects, which define what to do when a window is clicked or dragged.
By default, holding your mod
key and left-clicking (and holding) a window will
allow you to drag it around as a floating window. Holding your mod
key and right-clicking
(and holding) a window will resize the window (and also make it float if it is not already floating).
from libqtile.config import Click, Drag mouse = [ Drag([mod], "Button1", lazy.window.set_position_floating(), start=lazy.window.get_position()), Drag([mod], "Button3", lazy.window.set_size_floating(), start=lazy.window.get_size()), Click([mod], "Button2", lazy.window.bring_to_front()) ]
The above example can also be written more concisely with the help of
the EzClick
and EzDrag
helpers:
from libqtile.config import EzClick as Click, EzDrag as Drag mouse = [ Drag("M-1", lazy.window.set_position_floating(), start=lazy.window.get_position()), Drag("M-3", lazy.window.set_size_floating(), start=lazy.window.get_size()), Click("M-2", lazy.window.bring_to_front()) ]
