Auto(1x)

Auto1x

The afterstep window auto-raise module

Usage

From within the autoexec file Auto is spawned as follows:

Module "I" Auto 500

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

Module "Auto" Auto 500

MiniPixmap "mini-as.xpm"

KillModuleByName "Stop Auto" Auto

MiniPixmap "mini-as.xpm"

Overview

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.

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.
