Linux 에서 Expose 흉내내기 (Skippy)

KDE 의 경우, Kompose 가 있지만, GNome 에는 없어서 참 아쉽다.

Skippy 가 있어서 대체 가능하지만, 설치할 때 Compile 이 좀 어려웠기에

컴파일 방법을 적어놓는다.

1. Download skippy from:

http://thegraveyard.org/files/skippy-0.5.0.tar.bz2

This HOWTO was written for skippy version 0.5.0, hopefully it will work for future versions too.

2. Untar the skippy source code into a directory:

$ tar -xjf skippy-0.5.0.tar.bz2

3. Switch to the untarred directory

$ cd skippy-0.5.0.tar.bz2

4. Install imlib2-dev, libxft-dev and libxmu-dev, since skippy needs them to compile:

$ sudo apt-get install libimlib2-dev libxmu-dev libxft-dev

5. Edit the Makefile so that it won't try to bind to Xinerama. 

$ nano Makefile

You want to insert a # at the beginning of lines 10 and 11, so that they look like this:

#CFLAGS += -DXINERAMA
#LDFLAGS += -lXext -lXinerama

6. Compile the software:

$ make

7. Install the executable:

$ sudo make install

8. Copy the default config file to your home directory:

$ cp skippyrc-default ~/.skippyrc

9. Edit the default config file so that it uses Scroll Lock instead of F11 as the hotkey. I recommend this, because many Ubuntu applications use F11 (for instance, OpenOffice Writer uses F11 to display the Stylist, which is a very useful feature). On the other hand, I don't think the Scroll Lock EVER had a use. 

$ nano ~/.skippyrc

Change line 24 to read:

keysym=Scroll_Lock

10. Launch skippy:

$ skippy

11. Press Scroll Lock to see scaled-down versions of all of your windows. Some people have complained about skippy's performance, but it works very quickly on my ancient laptop. 

Note that this version of skippy does not update the scaled-down windows in real-time.

Hope this helps,

위 글에서 얘기하는 것과 같이, Debian (Ubuntu 도 Debian 기반임) 에서는 안된다.

Fedora 에서나 쓸 수 있겄다..
