Window functions

These are the commands that change fman's window itself rather than what is inside it: how much of it you see, how solid it is, and where it sits on the screen.

None of them has a default key binding. They are all reached from the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P), and all of them except Center window are remembered across restarts.

Command	What it does
toggle_title_bar	Hides the OS title bar, and the window frame with it
toggle_menu_bar	Hides fman's Help menu — macOS only
toggle_status_bar	Hides the message strip along the bottom
set_window_opacity	Makes the whole window see-through
center_window	Puts the window back in the middle of its screen
minimize	Minimizes the window

The dim behind dialogs is the odd one out: it has no command, because it is not something you switch on. It is a theme color.

The bars around the panes

The title bar, the macOS menu bar and the status bar each toggle on their own, and each stays off across restarts.

Two things worth knowing before hiding the title bar:

• A frameless window cannot be dragged or closed with the mouse. Read the caveats on Toggle title bar and menu bar first.
• The window keeps the screen space either way: hiding a bar grows the panes into the row it occupied rather than shrinking the window, and showing it again restores the exact previous size.

How solid the window is

Set window opacity offers Theme default, then 100% down to 70%. The whole window fades, text included — fman does not do background-only translucency, and dialogs are separate windows that stay opaque.

Theme default is the way back to letting the theme decide. It is not the same as 100%, which pins the window opaque under every theme, including one that ships translucent. A theme sets its own value with the opacity key; your choice wins over it and survives a theme switch.

Dimming behind dialogs

While a modal dialog is open — the command palette, prompts, alerts, the file-open dialog — fman lays a scrim over the main window, so the dialog reads against the file list instead of competing with it.

This works precisely because opacity does not reach dialogs: they are top-level windows of their own, so dimming the main window leaves the dialog at full contrast.

• It is the scrim_bg color token, and its alpha byte is the strength. #80000000 — the default — is 50% black, #40000000 a quarter, and #00000000 no dim at all.
• The progress dialog is excluded. A copy can run for minutes, and a window dimmed that long costs more than the contrast is worth.
• There is no command and no setting: a theme owns it, like any other color.

Center window

Center window puts fman back in the middle of the screen it is already on.

• Centered within the screen's available area, so a taskbar does not push the window off-centre.
• On multiple monitors it stays on the monitor it was on, rather than jumping to the primary one.
• Nothing is remembered — it is a one-shot move, not a mode.

center window on screen, move window to center and middle find it too. They are hidden keywords, so the row still reads Center window.
