| Using X11 window managers | |
| ? | Is it possible to use a window manager with Xtools? |
| ! | While the rootless mode integrates best with other MacOS X applications, it is possible to run Xtools in dedicated (fullscreen) mode and choose a window manager or desktop system. Currently, only twm comes with the Xtools package. |
| Mouse handling | |
| ? | I use a standard mouse with only one button. X11 applications sometimes require a right or middle mouse button. Is there a way to emulate the other mouse buttons? |
| ! | The F1, F2, and F3 keys emulate the left, middle, and right mouse buttons. |
| ? | I have a two button mouse, but need an emulation for the middle button. I think that using the function key is inconvenient. Is there another way? |
| ! | Hold down the Command key while clicking either of the mouse buttons. This will emulate the middle button. |
| Remote X11 Clients | |
| ? | Is there a way to display X11 clients running on a remote machine, e.g. from Linux? |
| ! | First, you have to allow access to the Xtools server. Open the Preferences panel, switch to the Remote Access pane and check the switch or allow access only from a specific host by adding it to the access list. Then set your Xtools server as the display for the client application, either by specifying the -display option, or by setting the DISPLAY environment variable. |
