Operations on Groups

Most of the window manipulation functions that operate on windows are also available for window groups. Each of these functions takes a window as argument; the affected group is that window's group.

iconify-group w Function
uniconify-group w Function
iconify-transient-group w Function
uniconify-transient-group w Function
These operate like their single-window counterparts. They work by temporarily rebinding iconify-group-mode and uniconify-group-mode.

make-group-sticky w Function
make-group-unsticky w Function
These operate like their single-window counterparts.

toggle-group-sticky w Function
If window w is sticky, all windows in its group have their stickyness removed. Otherwise all windows in its group become sticky.

send-group-to-workspace w workspace Function
send-group-to-next-workspace w count Function
send-group-to-previous-workspace w count Function
These operate like their single-window counterparts.

send-group-to-current-workspace w Function
All windows in the group of w are moved from their existing workspaces to the nearest workspace that w is in. Sticky windows are not affected. If the window had the input focus and it is visible after the move, it retains the input focus.

move-group-left w Function
move-group-right w Function
move-group-up w Function
move-group-down w Function
These operate like their single-window counterparts.

raise-group w Function
lower-group w Function
raise-lower-group w Function
raise-group-depth w Function
lower-group-depth w Function
These operate like their single-window counterparts.

set-group-frame-style w style Function
This operates like its single-window counterpart.
