It manages windows in tiling and +floating modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, optimizing the +environment for the application in use and the task performed. +.P +In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master +area contains the window which currently needs most attention, whereas the +stacking area contains all other windows. In floating mode windows can be +resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating, +regardless of the mode selected. +.P +Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple +tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these tags. +.P +dwm contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the mode, +the title of the focused window, and the text read from standard input. The +selected tags are indicated with a different color. The tags of the focused +window are indicated with a filled square in the top left corner. The tags +which are applied to one or more windows are indicated with an empty square in +the top left corner. +.P +dwm draws a 1-pixel border around windows to indicate the focus state. +Unfocused windows contain a small bar in front of them displaying their title. +.SH OPTIONS .TP .B \-v -prints version information to stdout, then exits. +prints version information to standard output, then exits. +.SH USAGE +.SS Status bar +.TP +.B Standard input +is read and displayed in the status text area. +.TP +.B Button1 +click on a tag label to display all windows with that tag, click on the mode +label toggles between tiling and floating mode. +.TP +.B Button3 +click on a tag label adds/removes all windows with that tag to/from the view. +.TP +.B Mod1-Button1 +click on a tag label applies that tag to the focused window. +.TP +.B Mod1-Button3 +click on a tag label adds/removes that tag to/from the focused window. +.SS Keyboard commands +.TP +.B Mod1-Shift-Return +Start +.BR xterm (1). +.TP +.B Mod1-Tab +Focus next window. +.TP +.B Mod1-Shift-Tab +Focus previous window. +.TP +.B Mod1-Return +Zooms/cycles current window to/from master area (tiling mode), toggles maximization current window (floating mode). +.TP +.B Mod1-g +Grow master area (tiling mode only). +.TP +.B Mod1-s +Shrink master area (tiling mode only). +.TP +.B Mod1-plus +Increase clients of master area (tiling mode only). +.TP +.B Mod1-minus +Decrease clients of master area (tiling mode only). +.TP +.B Mod1-Shift-[1..n] +Apply +.RB nth +tag to current window. +.TP +.B Mod1-Shift-0 +Apply all tags to current window. +.TP +.B Mod1-Control-Shift-[1..n] +Add/remove +.B nth +tag to/from current window. +.TP +.B Mod1-Shift-c +Close focused window. +.TP +.B Mod1-space +Toggle between tiling and floating mode (affects all windows). +.TP +.B Mod1-Shift-space +Toggle focused window between floating and non-floating state (tiling mode only). +.TP +.B Mod1-[1..n] +View all windows with +.BR nth +tag. +.TP +.B Mod1-0 +View all windows with any tag. +.TP +.B Mod1-Control-[1..n] +Add/remove all windows with +.BR nth +tag to/from the view. +.TP +.B Mod1-Shift-q +Quit dwm. +.SS Mouse commands +.TP +.B Mod1-Button1 +Move current window while dragging (floating mode only). +.TP +.B Mod1-Button2 +Zoom current window to the master area (tiling mode only). +.TP +.B Mod1-Button3 +Resize current window while dragging (floating mode only). +.SH CUSTOMIZATION +dwm is customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source +code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple. +.SH CAVEATS +The status bar may display +.BR "EOF" +when dwm has been started by an X session manager like +.BR xdm (1), +because those close standard output before executing dwm. +.P +Java applications which use the XToolkit/XAWT backend may draw grey windows +only. The XToolkit/XAWT backend breaks ICCCM-compliance in recent JDK 1.5 and early +JDK 1.6 versions, because it assumes a reparenting window manager. As a workaround +you can use JDK 1.4 (which doesn't contain the XToolkit/XAWT backend) or you +can set the following environment variable (to use the older Motif +backend instead): +.BR AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit . +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR dmenu (1)
