How do I unminimize a weston window?

Question

I accidentally minimized a weston-terminal window under Weston, and I want to get it back. This window is running vim with my full development environment, so I don't want to replace it. By default, Weston's toolbar along the top does not have a window list, so I can't just click on that to restore it. Searching around, I found weston-taskbar, which hasn't been updated for the last four years. I could not find anything else about restoring minimized weston windows, so either this is a non-issue for everyone else, or there is something I am missing. ps -eH shows that there is still a weston-terminal running vim, so the program is still running, but there is no window shown. How can I get that window back?

Answer 1

Weston uses the Super (windows) key as the default binding modifier. So you can use Super + Tab to switch between windows. See the Usage section in the Arch Linux wiki for more key bindings.

To change the default behaviour, you could set the binding-modifier value of the compositor in weston.ini. e.g:

[shell]
binding-modifier=alt
