• Use grid-like layout (place window and cycle predefined sizes)
• Switch windows’ positions
• Highly customizable

Download

• Download the PyWO source file here
• Extract to your home folder
• Open a terminal and enter: –
• cd pywo-2.0/
• Now run it using the following command: –
• ./pywo.py

Usage
Shameless copy n’ pasting from the project page: –

• Alt-Ctrl-Shift-Q – exit PyWO
• Alt-Ctrl-Shift-R – reload configuration file
• Alt-Ctrl-Shift-I – print debug information about window manager/current window
• Alt-KP_Divide – switch windows (change position of the window)
• Alt-Shift-KP_Divide – cycle windows (change contents of the window)
• Alt-KP_1-9 – move window in a direction (KP_1-9 – numpad keys)
• Shift-KP_1-9 – expand window in a direction
• Alt-Shift-KP_1-9 – shrink window
• Alt-Ctrl-KP_1-9 – put window to predefined position
• Ctrl_KP_1-9 – put and resize (grid), and cycle widths
• Ctrl-Shift_KP_1-9 – put and resize (grid), and cycle heights

All keyboard shortcuts, resulting actions and grid size to use can be user-defined by editing the ~./pyworc file.
