# Process Widget
|
|
|
|
The process widget displays a table containing information regarding a running process, along with sorting,
|
|
searching, and process control features.

|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
The process widget has three main components:
|
|
|
|
- The main process table
|
|
- The search sub-widget (opened with ++ctrl+f++ or ++slash++)
|
|
- The sort menu sub-widget (opened with ++s++ or ++f6++)
|
|
|
|
By default, the main process table displays the following information for each process:
|
|
|
|
- PID
|
|
- Name of the process
|
|
- CPU use percentage (note this is averaged out per available thread)
|
|
- Memory use percentage
|
|
- Reads per second
|
|
- Writes per second
|
|
- Total amount read
|
|
- Total amount written
|
|
- User
|
|
- Process state
|
|
|
|
### Sorting
|
|
|
|
The table can be sorted by clicking on the table headers, which will either sort the table by that column, or if already
|
|
sorting by that column, reverse the sorting order.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, one can sort using the sort menu sub-widget, which is brought up using ++s++ or ++f6++, and can be controlled by arrow keys or the mouse.
|
|
|
|

|
|
</figure>
|
|
|
|
### Grouping
|
|
|
|
Pressing ++tab++ in the table will group entries with the same name together. The PID column will be replaced with the number of entries in each group, and usage
|
|
is added together when displayed.
|
|
|
|

|
|
<img src="../../../assets/screenshots/process/process_grouped.webp" alt="A picture of grouped mode in a process widget."/>
|
|
</figure>
|
|
|
|
Note that the process state and user columns are disabled in this mode.
|
|
|
|
### Process termination
|
|
|
|
Pressing ++d+d++ or ++f9++ will allow you to terminate the currently selected process/process group. On Unix-like
|
|
operating systems, you are also able to control which specific signals to send (e.g. `SIGKILL`, `SIGTERM`).
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
</figure>
|
|
|
|
If you're on Windows, or if the `disable_advanced_kill` flag is set in the options or command-line, then a simpler termination
|
|
screen will be shown to confirm whether you want to kill that process/process group.

|
|
|
|
### Tree mode
|
|
|
|
Pressing ++t++ or ++f5++ in the table toggles tree mode in the process widget, displaying processes in regards to their parent-child process relationships.
|
|
|
|
<figure>
|
|
<img src="../../../assets/screenshots/process/process_tree.webp" alt="A picture of tree mode in a process widget."/>
|
|
</figure>
|
|
|
|
A process in tree mode can also be "collapsed", hiding its children and any descendants, using either the ++minus++ or ++plus++ keys, or double clicking on an entry.
|
|
|
|
Lastly, note that in tree mode, processes cannot be grouped together due to the behaviour of the two modes somewhat clashing.
|
|
|
|
### Full command
|
|
|
|
You can show the full command instead of just the process name by pressing ++P++.
|
|
|
|
<figure>
|
|
<img src="../../../assets/screenshots/process/process_full.webp" alt="A picture of a process widget using full commands."/>
|
|
</figure>
|
|
|
|
### Search
|
|
|
|
Pressing ++slash++ or ++ctrl+f++ will open up the search sub-widget. By default, just typing in something will search by the process name.
|
|
|
|
<figure>
|
|
<img src="../../../assets/screenshots/process/search/search.webp" alt="A picture of searching for a process with a simple search."/>
|
|
</figure>
|
|
|
|
This search can be further enhanced by matching by case, matching the entire word, or by regex.
|
|
|
|
<figure>
|
|
<img src="../../../assets/screenshots/process/search/regex.webp" alt="A picture of searching for a process with a search condition that uses regex."/>
|
|
</figure>
|
|
|
|
We are able to also search for multiple things/conditions.
|
|
|
|
<figure>
|
|
<img src="../../../assets/screenshots/process/search/or.webp" alt="A picture of searching for a process with a search condition that uses the or operator."/>
|
|
</figure>
|
|
|
|
And if our search uses a keyword, we need to use quotation marks around the term to properly search it.
|
|
|
|
<figure>
|
|
<img src="../../../assets/screenshots/process/search/quotes.webp" alt="A picture of searching for a process with a search condition that needs quotation marks."/>
|
|
</figure>
|
|
|
|
Lastly, we can refine our search even further based on the other columns, like PID, CPU usage, etc., as well as grouping together conditions.
|
|
|
|
<figure>
|
|
<img src="../../../assets/screenshots/process/search/cpu.webp" alt="A picture of searching for a process with a search condition that uses the CPU keyword."/>
|
|
</figure>
|
|
|
|
You can also paste search queries (e.g. ++shift+insert++, ++ctrl+shift+v++).
|
|
|
|
#### Keywords
|
|
|
|
Note all keywords are case-insensitive. To search for a process/command that collides with a keyword, surround the term with quotes (e.x. `"cpu"`).
|
|
|
|
