# GENERAL POSITION ALIASES AND BINDINGS
# -------------------------------------------------------------------
# These positions are not tied to any screen. Each position gets an 
# alias and then a keybinding. The keybindings are all mapped to the 
# numberpad, with each row grouping a denominator.

# Keypad 5 = fullscreen
alias full move screenOriginX;screenOriginY screenSizeX;screenSizeY
bind pad5:${hyper} ${full}
bind 5:${hyper} ${full}

# Keypad row 13 = halves
alias lefthalf move screenOriginX;screenOriginY screenSizeX/2;screenSizeY
bind pad1:${hyper} ${lefthalf}
bind 1:${hyper} ${lefthalf}

alias righthalf move screenOriginX+screenSizeX/2;screenOriginY screenSizeX/2;screenSizeY
bind pad3:${hyper} ${righthalf}
bind 3:${hyper} ${righthalf}

# Keypad row 46 = thirds
alias leftthird move screenOriginX;screenOriginY screenSizeX/3;screenSizeY
bind pad4:${hyper} ${leftthird}
bind 4:${hyper} ${leftthird}

alias righttwothirds move screenOriginX+screenSizeX/3;screenOriginY 2*screenSizeX/3;screenSizeY
bind pad6:${hyper} ${righttwothirds}
bind 6:${hyper} ${righttwothirds}

# Keypad row 79 = eighths
alias leftfifth move screenOriginX;screenOriginY screenSizeX/5;screenSizeY
bind pad7:${hyper} ${leftfifth}
bind 7:${hyper} ${leftfifth}

alias rightfourfifths move (screenOriginX+screenSizeX/5)+14;screenOriginY (4*screenSizeX/5)-14;screenSizeY
bind pad9:${hyper} ${rightfourfifths}
bind 9:${hyper} ${rightfourfifths}

# Keypad column 28 = top and bottom halves
alias tophalf move screenOriginX;screenOriginY screenSizeX;screenSizeY/2

# MONITOR-BASED POSITION ALIASES

# These aliases are move windows to specific positions on a specific 
# monitor.
