Skippy-XD: Expose-Like Window Picker For Xfce, LXDE, Etc.

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><a href="http://code.google.com/p/skippy-xd/">Skippy-XD</a></b> is a lightweight <b>full-screen window picker</b> for X11, <b>similar to the Mac OS X "<i>Exposé</i>" feature</b>, useful for desktop environments like as Xfce or LXDE, which don't have such a feature by default.</div><br /><a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">There are Compiz and KWin plugins that offer similar functionality (and GNOME Shell has this built in) however, Skippy-XD should work with pretty much any NETWM or GNOME WM Specs compliant window-manager: Xfwm4, OpenBox, FluxBox, WindowMaker, IceWM and so on.</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/skippy-xd.jpg"><img alt="Skippy-XD" src="http://img.netupd8.com/skippy-xd_thumb.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Skippy-XD is triggered by a hotkey and it displays thumbnails for windows on the current desktop, allowing you to easily pick a window by using the mouse or keyboard. You can also<b> close windows by middle clicking them</b>.</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The application supports <b>live previews</b>, videos included, and uses compositing, but only when you press the hotkey to display the window picker.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Skippy-XD development stagnated for a while but now it has a new maintainer and appears to be active again. Recently, the application received support for closing windows (middle click), customizable tooltip position, VI movement keys (h,j,k,l) and many bug fixes. Right now, Skippy-XD doesn't display window decorations but according to a <a href="https://github.com/richardgv/skippy-xd/issues/13">bug report</a>, that should change soon.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Below you can watch an old video with Skippy-XD in action:</div><br /><center><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/gVRPCd7OS38" width="560"></iframe><br />(<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVRPCd7OS38">direct video link</a>)</center><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Note that the video shows adding the Skippy-XD daemon on startup but from what I've read, the daemon is pretty buggy so you should simply use "skippy-xd" to launch it - or the script I've posted below, under "Usage", which works around an issue with Skippy-XD not showing minimized windows.</div><br /><br /><br /><h2>Install Skippy-XD in Ubuntu</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Ubuntu users can install the latest Skippy-XD from GIT by using a PPA. Add the PPA and install Skippy-XD using the following commands:</b></div><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:landronimirc/skippy-xd-daily<br />sudo apt-get update<br />sudo apt-get install skippy-xd</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">You'll also need to create a configuration file called "skippy-xd.rc" under <i>~/.config/skippy-xd</i>/. You can install the default Skippy-XD configuration file by using the commands below:</div><pre class="linux-code"><code>mkdir -p ~/.config/skippy-xd<br />wget https://raw.github.com/richardgv/skippy-xd/master/skippy-xd.rc-default -O ~/.config/skippy-xd/skippy-xd.rc</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">This file has various Skippy-XD options which you can change: the window update frequency, colors, opacity, mouse bindings and so on.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Arch Linux</b> users can install the latest Skippy-XD from GIT via <a href="https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/skippy-xd-git/">AUR</a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>For other Linux distributions, you can grab the Skippy-XD source code from <a href="https://github.com/richardgv/skippy-xd">GitHub</a>.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Report any bugs you may find @ <a href="https://github.com/richardgv/skippy-xd/issues?state=open">GitHub</a>.</div><br /><br /><br /><h2>Usage</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Skippy-XD has a bug and doesn't display minimized windows. A work-around for this is to use a script created by <a href="http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=8105">B.

If you're using Xfce, you can assign a keyboard shortcut to the Skippy window picker via <i>Settings > Keyboard</i>, on the Application Shortcuts tab, click "Add" and under command, use "skippy-xd-fix".</div><br />See how to set up keyboard bindings for <a href="https://urukrama.wordpress.com/openbox-guide/#Key_mouse">Openbox</a> | <a href="http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Keyboard_shortcuts#How_to_use_the_keys_file">Fluxbox</a>.<br /><br />If you want to use the Skippy-XD daemon instead, see <a href="http://code.google.com/p/skippy-xd/wiki/SetupGuide">THIS</a> wiki page.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>To set up a hot corner for Skippy-XD under Xfce, LXDE, etc., you can use an application called <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/set-up-hot-corners-edge-flipping-in.html" title="Set Up Hot Corners, Edge Flipping In Ubuntu With Brightside [Without Compiz]">Brightside</a>.</b></div>

The decision has been voted 8-0 by the Xubuntu team members and thanks to the extra space, some applications that were removed from the default installation in Xubuntu 12.10 are now back by default (see below).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">One of the reasons for this change is the "amount of developer time currently spent keeping the ISO small enough to fit on a CD".</div><br /><br /><br /><h2>Default applications</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Thanks to the larger ISO used by Xubuntu 13.04, <b>GIMP and Gnumeric, which were removed from the ISO for Xubuntu 12.10, are back by default</b>:</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/xubuntu-13.04-gimp.png" rel="image_group" title="GIMP"><img alt="Xubuntu 13.04 screenshot GIMP" src="http://img.netupd8.com/xubuntu-13.04-gimp_thumb.png" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a rel="image_group" href="http://img.netupd8.com/xubuntu-13.04-gnumeric.png" title="Gnumeric"><img alt="Xubuntu 13.04 screenshot Gnumeric" src="http://img.netupd8.com/xubuntu-13.04-gnumeric_thumb.png" /></a></div><br /><br />Also, some of the default applications have received important changes:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Catfish</b> (search tool) has been rewritten with emphasis on speed, the interface has been revamped with styled sidebar and symbolic icons, the application now supports performing operations on multiple files at once and more. Here's the latest Catfish available in Xubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail:</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/xubuntu-13.04-catfish.png" rel="image_group" title="Catfish"><img alt="Xubuntu 13.04 screenshot Catfish" src="http://img.netupd8.com/xubuntu-13.04-catfish_thumb.png" /></a></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Parole Media Player</b> has received quite a few improvements too, since Xubuntu 12.10. The video player now features CD and DVD playlist support, DVD navigation support, a new "Recent Items" menu item has been added along with album artwork and details to notifications, a missing codec feature like in Totem should make codecs installation a lot easier, an embedded mode allows you to use Parole as a browser plugin, custom subtitle management and many bug fixes, including for fullscreen controls, screensaver inhibition, freezing subtitles and more:</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/xubuntu-13.04-parole.png" rel="image_group" title="Parole Media Player"><img alt="Xubuntu 13.04 screenshots parole" src="http://img.netupd8.com/xubuntu-13.04-parole_thumb.png" /></a></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Another application that has received some very interesting changes is <b>Xfce4 Terminal</b>, which now has an<b> option to use it as a drop-down console</b>, like the popular Guake or Yakuake:</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/xubuntu-13.04-terminal-dropdown.png" rel="image_group" title="Xfce4 Terminal"><img alt="Xubuntu 13.04 screenshots Xfce4 terminal" src="http://img.netupd8.com/xubuntu-13.04-terminal-dropdown_thumb.png" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Other Xfce4 Terminal changes include:</div><ul><li style="text-align: justify;">added search dialog;</li><li style="text-align: justify;">terminal tab color changes when activity occurs in a tab since last viewed;</li><li style="text-align: justify;">support for color presets and some presets were added by default, including "Solarized Dark" (which by the way, is my favourite terminal / text editor color scheme).</li></ul><br />For how to use Xfce4 Terminal as a drop-down console, Quake-style, see: <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2013/01/how-to-use-xfce4-terminal-06x-as-drop.html">How To Use Xfce4 Terminal 0.6.x As A Drop-Down Console (Guake-style)</a><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">And finally, <b>Thunar</b>, the default Xfce / Xubuntu file manager has been updated with some much requested features like<b> tabs support</b>:</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/xubuntu-13.04-thunar-file-manager.png" rel="image_group" title="Thunar file manager"><img alt="Xubuntu 13.04 raring ringtail screenshots thunar" src="http://img.netupd8.com/xubuntu-13.04-thunar-file-manager_thumb.png" /></a></div><br />Other changes included in the latest Thunar available in Xubuntu 13.04:<br /><ul><li>file properties for multiple file selections;</li><li>support for remote mounts and bookmarks;</li><li>new shortcuts sidepane;</li><li>improved transfer dialog;</li><li>more.</li></ul><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Default applications included in Xubuntu 13.04:</b> Firefox 20, Thunderbird 17.0.5, Pidgin 2.10.7, Transmission 2.77, XChat 2.8.8, GIMP 2.8.4, Thunar 1.6.2, Catfish 0.6.3, Gnumeric 1.12.1, Abiword 2.9.2+svn20120603, Xfce4 Terminal 0.6.1, Parole 0.5.0, Gmusicbrowser 1.1.9, gThumb 3.0.2, Simple Scan 3.6.1, Ristretto 0.6.3, Xfburn 0.4.3, Gigolo 0.4.1, Mousepad 0.3.0 and Ubuntu Software Center 5.6.0, all on top of Xfce 4.10.</div><br />For other changes which are shared with all the Ubuntu flavors, see: <a
