Yes documentation is a bit lacking. It's still kind of in a phase of "wrote it for myself and pushed it on github". Minimal documentation is in the README just after the build instructions: > And now start opensnap by > bin/opensnap -d I agree this could be expanded. Yes opensnap runs as as a deamon and polls for mouse movents. Opensnap runs as a deamon by design, because it's not intented to only work with openbox but at some point (read: never) with every EWMH compilant window manager. And it actually already mostly does, cases where it fails are usually unspecified behaviour on EWHM side. Openbox is just what I happen to use, so it's the most tested/supported one. So maintaining my own patches against openbox isn't really an option for me/opensnap. If you can't/don't want to integrate it, that's okay, i understand, you have a fair point. If there's interest I can build a .deb, however I'm not running a debian based system anymore so I'd need to install a VM first. Anyhow, thanks for your feedback.
