Hemlock manages windows under X in groups. This allows Hemlock to be more sophisticated in its window management without being rude in the X paradigm of screen usage. With window groups, Hemlock can ignore where the groups are, but within a group, it can maintain the window creation and deletion behavior users expect in editors without any interference from window managers.
Initially there are two groups, a main window and the Echo Area. If you keep a pop-up display, see section pop-up, Hemlock puts the window it creates in its own group. There are commands for creating new groups.
Hemlock only links windows within a group for purposes of the Next Window, Previous Window, and Delete Next Window commands. To move between groups, you must use the Point to Here command bound to the mouse.
Window manager commands can reshape and move groups on the screen.
