My custom suckless based desktop focused on absolute productivity and workflow control.
## Key Features
### dwm features
* **A bunch of extra layouts**
- *Default ones:*
- master & stack.
- floating.
- monocle
- *Added ones:*
- dwindle.
- spiral.
- centered master (also known as three column).
- centered floating master (master window floating at the center of the screen, stack on the back).
- grid.
* **Keychord based keybindings:** Just like emacs, you can have chained keybindings, which exponentially extends the amount of keybindings you can have.
* **Scratchpad support:** Convenient scratchpad functionality for storing and retrieving frequently used applications.
* **Tag based workflow**
- Each tag (also called workspaces) is meant to have it's purpose, this is achieved with an extensive set of window rules:
- *Tag 1:* Coding
- *Tag 2:* Testing
- *Tag 3:* Web browsing
- *Tag 4:* Chatting
- *Tag 5:* Audio tools
- *Tag 6:* Video tools
- *Tag 7:* Graphic tools
- *Tag 8:* Office & Document tools
- *Tag 9:* Gaming
### Other suckless utilities included
* *dmenu:* the best run launcher. This build includes some very useful scripts for things like wifi, bluetooth and wallpaper configuration, drive mounting, etc.
* *herbe & tiramisu:* a minimal and fast notification daemon (tiramisu is the daemon, herbe is the notification window).
* *st:* the fastest terminal emulator ever, [siduck's build](https://github.com/siduck/st).
* *slock:* simple and efficient lock screen with fingerprint reader support.
* *dwbmlocks:* what enables you to customize dwm's status area in the bar. This build includes some cool & customizable status scripts.
### Config files
Other configuration files included in this project are available at the config folder. These are:
* `.bash_profile & .bashrc`: Bash configuration files, the profile is neccesary to start up dwm on tty login.
* `.config/btop`: [btop](https://github.com/aristocratos/btop) is a system monitoring utility, cooler than htop. Accesible from dwm via a scratchpad.
* `.config/gtk-2.0 & .config/gtk-3.0`: GTK theeming files, I use the Cantarell font, the [Gruvbox-Dark-BL](https://github.com/Fausto-Korpsvart/Gruvbox-GTK-Theme) theme and the [Simp1e-Gruvbox-Dark](https://gitlab.com/cursors/simp1e) cursor theme.
* `.config/Kvantum`: Qt theeming via Kvantum, Gruvbox theme is included here too.
* `.config/lvim`: [Lunarvim](https://www.lunarvim.org/) configuration files, this is a neovim distribution and my text editor of choice.
* `.config/mpv`: Mpv config files, mainly just for vim-like keybindings.
* `.config/musikcube`: [musikcube](https://github.com/clangen/musikcube) is basically the best terminal music player. Also accesible from dwm via a scratchpad. Just like mpv, this is only for vim-like keybindings.
* `.config/neofetch`: Make neofetch look cooler.
* `.config/newsboat`: [Newsboat](https://github.com/newsboat/newsboat) is an awesome RSS/Atom feeds reader for the terminal. Also accesible from dwm via a scratchpad. The config file is for vim-like keybindings and also my collection of RSS & YouTube subscriptions feeds (you can open any video in mpv hitting first comma and then v).
* `.config/picom`: The only X compositor that actually works, responsible of transparency and some animations.
* `.config/pipewire`: Just to make pipewire behave a little better with Pro audio equipment (support for multiple sample rates).
* `.config/tut`: [tut](https://github.com/RasmusLindroth/tut) is an amazing Mastodon client for the terminal. Also accesible from dwm via a scratchpad.
* `.config/X11`: This is where I put the xinitrc file, responsible of starting up dwm properly.
* `.config/yazi`: [yazi](https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi) is the best terminal file manager with everything you will and may need, with vim-like keybindings and image previews.
* `.config/zathura`: [zathura](https://git.pwmt.org/pwmt/zathura) is my document viewer of choice, also with vim-like keybindings.

This repository is not a tutorial on how to modify or configure dwm or any of the included suckless tools, you obviusly don't need to learn C to do this, with this build you can start with an usable base and you wont even need to patch anything. If you want to add a patch though, you will need to do this manually, because most patching utilities like `patch` and `git apply` will fail due to how much of the code base I modified myself.
To configure my build, the only file you really need to modify is the `config.h` file in each tool, which has everything commented and explained. Of course this being *my* build, it is already configured for my needs.
