74 Selectors are used to select a target node, desktop, or monitor\&. A selector can either describe the target relatively or name it globally\&.
76 Selectors consist of an optional reference, a descriptor and any number of non\-conflicting modifiers as follows:
82 [REFERENCE#]DESCRIPTOR(\&.MODIFIER)*
88 The relative targets are computed in relation to the given reference (the default reference value is \fBfocused\fR)\&.
