+RIVERCTL(1) "github.com/ifreund/river" "General Commands Manual"
+# NAME
+
+riverctl - command-line interface for controlling river
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+*riverctl* *close*|*declare-mode*|*enter-mode*|*exit*|*focus-output*|
+*focus-view*|*layout*|*map*|*mod-master-count*|*mod-master-factor*|
+*send-to-output*|*set-focused-tags*|*set-view-tags*|*spawn*|*toggle-float*|
+*toggle-focused-tags*|*toggle-view-tags*|*zoom* [_command specific arguments_]
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+*riverctl* is a command-line interface inspired by bspc from bspwm
+used to control and configure river.
+
+# COMMANDS
+
+## ACTIONS
+
+*close*
+ Close the focused view.
+
+*exit*
+ Exit the compositor, terminating the Wayland session.
+
+*focus-output* *next*|*previous*
+ Focus next or previous output.
+
+*focus-view* *next*|*previous*
+ Focus next or previous view in the stack.
+
+*layout* *top-master*|*right-master*|*bottom-master*|*left-master*|*full*
+ Change the view layout.
+
+*mod-master-count* _integer_
+ Increase or decrease the number of master views. _integer_ can be
+ positive or negative.
+
+*mod-master-factor* _float_
+ Make the master area bigger or smaller. _float_ is a positive or
+ negative floating point number (such as 0.05) where 1 corresponds to
+ the whole screen.
+
+*send-to-output* *next*|*previous*
+ Send the focused view to the next or the previous output.
+
+*spawn* _shell_command_
+ Run _shell_command_ using _/bin/sh -c_. Put single quotes around
+ _shell_command_ if you do not want special characters to get
+ interpreted by your shell before the command gets passed to _/bin/sh_.
+
+*toggle-float*
+ If the focused view is floating, make it tiled. If it is tiled, make
+ it floating.
+
+*zoom*
+ Bump the focused view to the top of the layout stack to make it the
+ new master.
+
+## ACTIONS ON TAGS
+
+Tags are like workspaces but more flexible: You can assign views to
+multiple tags and look at multiple tags at once. A _tagmask_ is used
+to represent which tags are visible. The following commands take a
+_tagmask_ in base 10 as argument but _tagmasks_ are best understood in
+binary: 000000001 means that the first tag is visible; 111111111 means
+that tag 1 through 9 are visible.
+
+*set-focused-tags* _tagmask_
+ Show the tags specified with _tagmask_.
+
+*set-view-tags* _tagmask_
+ Assign focused view to tags specified with _tagmask_.
+
+*toggle-focused-tags* _tagmask_
+ Toggle visibility of tags specified with _tagmask_.
+
+*toggle-view-tags* _tagmask_
+ Toggle tags of focused view as specified with _tagmask_.
+
+## CONFIGURATION COMMANDS
+
+*declare-mode* _name_
+ Create a new mode called _name_ for use in mappings.
+
+*enter-mode* _name_
+ Switch to given mode if it exits.
+
+*map* _mode_ _modifiers_ _key_ _command_
+ _mode_ is either *normal* (the default mode) or a mode created with
+ *declare-mode*. _modifiers_ is a list of one or more of the following
+ modifiers separated with a plus sign:
+
+ - Shift
+ - Lock (Caps lock)
+ - Control (Ctrl)
+ - Mod (Alt)
+ - Mod2
+ - Mod3
+ - Mod4 (Super, Logo, Windows)
+ - Mod5
+
+ _key_ is an XKB key name. See _/usr/include/xkbcommon/xkbcommon-keysyms.h_
+ for a list of special key names. _command_ can be any of the above commands.
+
+ A mapping without modifiers can be created by passing an empty string as
+ the modifiers argument.
+
+*set-option* _option_ _value_
+ Set _option_ to a specified _value_. List of valid options:
+
+ - *border_width* _non-negative_integer_
+ - *border_color_focused* _RGB/RGBA_hex_code_
+ - *border_color_unfocused* _RGB/RGBA_hex_code_
+ - *outer_padding* _non-negative_integer_
+ - *view_padding* _non-negative_integer_
