Full screen task switcher for x11

Usage

skippy

Overview

skippy is a program that allows you to manage your windows in an efficient way. It is highly inspired by Apple Expose.

Note

If you are using the X.org X server, there is a version of skippy, called skippy-xd that makes use of the new XDamage, XComposite and XFixes extensions. I suggest you use the xd version instead.

Please note that skippy won't launch when another application is using X_GrabKey ( such as xbindkeys ), please see the README.Debian file for more informations.

Usage

Press the hotkey (the default hotkey is F11). Then choose a window with either the keyboard (you can use up, down, left and right to navigate) or the mouse (just hover over a window) and activate it by pressing the left mouse button or the return or spacebar key.
