[Fluxbox-users] Window (accidental) resizing

[Jouni Rinne]

Is it possible to disable the window resizing/moving via the vertical edges of
the window (fluxbox-1.1.1 on Gentoo)?

Now, when I scroll up/down with the mouse (happens mostly with Firefox, but also
on other applications; also, I have no mousewheel ;) ) without paying much
attention where the cursor really is, if I get the cursor position just *one*
pixel wrong, I end up resizing the window instead of scrolling... Which is
EXTREMELY annoying...

Please?

You can configure fluxbox to ignore borders when moving windows, in
your init file:
session.ignoreBorder: true

You can also configure fluxbox to disable resizing on maximized
windows, in your init file:
session.screen0.maxDisableResize: true

Thanks, that seems to work!

Unfortunately, I didn't find any information (on fluxbox-wiki etc.) about what
this option *really* does... Maybe someone with enough knowledge should review
the 'Editing the init file' page on fluxbox-wiki and add the missing information
for this and other more-or-less undocumented options?

This is documented in the man pages of fluxbox (see doc/fluxbox.1 in
the fluxbox-1.1.1 tarball if you don't have the man pages installed --
`less` should be able to pretty print it for you).

session.ignoreBorder: <boolean>
This configures the ability to move windows by dragging the border.
Default: False

That wiki page probably could use a boost, though, especially for googling.
Glad it works for you,

Ron
