Auto(1x)

the AfterStep window auto-raise module

NAME

Auto - the AfterStep window auto-raise module

SYNOPSIS

Auto is spawned by afterstep, so no command line invocation will work.

From within the autoexec file Auto is spawned as follows:

	Module	"I"	Auto 500


or from within an afterstep menu file by 'Auto':

% cat "~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/start/Modules/Auto"
	Module "Auto" Auto 500
	MiniPixmap "mini-as.xpm"

To stop the Auto module, a menu item can be used:

% cat "~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/start/Modules/Auto_Stop"
	KillModuleByName "Stop Auto" Auto
	MiniPixmap "mini-as.xpm"

DESCRIPTION

The Auto module raises a window after the specified delay period from either keyboard or mouse focus. It can be used as a replacement for AutoRaise, which is defined in the feel file.

INITIALIZATION

Auto has no configuration file.

INVOCATION

Auto can be invoked from the autoexec file or from binding the action "Module Auto" to a key-stroke in a feel file, or from a menu item as shown in the Synopsis section above.

AfterStep will search through the directories specified in the ModulePath configuration in the base.#bpp (where # is your colordepth) to attempt to locate Auto.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

Auto requires a numeric argument upon invocation which specifies how long a window must retain the keyboard input focus before it is raised. The delay is measured in milliseconds, and any integer 0 or greater is acceptable.
