I was curious if it is possible to jump to the next vwm if you move your mouse to the left or right side. and on 1 or 4 (assuming you use 4 vwm's) they would wrap around. Also if this is possible, can you move a program window to the next vwm that way.

I got this from gnome for linux. If you know what im talking about what do i do? Or are there any themes that use it?

this feature used to exist some years ago, nowadays you can use hotspots to achive this effect. however, i don't know if it will work for program windows (but it should).

Some VWMs still support autoswitch. Check the respective documentation. However, most people complained about this "feature" so these days it's disabled by default.

And yes, you definitely can achieve such an effect with hotspots as well. It's slightly more complicated but also more flexible.

To enable this feature for the modules that support it, look at the personal.rc in he VWM settings part.
