dwm

My custom build of the blazing fast and amazing dwm tiling window manager, made for absolute productivity and workflow control.

Key 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
And much more...

Installation & How To Modify

Make sure to have these dependencies installed in your system:

libX11-devel
libXft-devel
libXrender-devel
libXinerama-devel
imlib2-devel
fontconfig-devel
xinit
make
gcc

After installing them with your package manager of choice, you can do the following to get the source code and start to modify it to your liking.

# Clone this repository
$ git clone https://github.com/d4r1us-drk/dwm.git

# Go into the repository
$ cd dwm

# To compile
$ make

# To install
$ sudo make install && make clean

This repository is not a tutorial on how to modify or configure dwm, 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, which has everything commented and explained. Of course this being my build, it is already configured for my needs.
