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 column. The master +column contains the window which currently needs most attention, whereas the +stacking column 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 a certain tag for viewing will display all windows with that +tag. +.P +.B dwm +contains a small status bar which displays the text read from standard +input. Besides that, it displays all available tags, and the title +of the focused window. +.P +.B 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 tags +and 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 views all windows with that +.BR tag . +.TP +.B Button3 +click on a tag label adds/removes all windows with that +.B tag +to/from the view. +.SS Keyboard commands +.TP +.B Mod1-Shift-Return +Start +.BR xterm (1). +.TP +.B Mod1-Tab +Focus next +.BR window . +.TP +.B Mod1-Shift-Tab +Focus previous +.BR window . +.TP +.B Mod1-Return +Zoom current +.B window +to the +.B master +column +.RB ( tiling +mode only). +.TP +.B Mod1-m +Maximize current +.BR window . +.TP +.B Mod1-Shift-[0..n] +Apply +.B nth tag +to current +.BR window . +.TP +.B Mod1-Control-Shift-[0..n] +Add/remove +.B nth tag +to/from current +.BR window . +.TP +.B Mod1-Shift-c +Close focused +.B window. +.TP +.B Mod1-space +Toggle between +.B tiled +and +.B floating +mode (affects +.BR "all windows" ). +.TP +.B Mod1-[0..n] +View all windows with +.BR "tag n" . +.TP +.B Mod1-Control-[0..n] +Add/remove all windows with +.B tag n +to/from the view. +.TP +.B Mod1-Shift-q +Quit +.B dwm. +.SS Mouse commands +.TP +.B Mod1-Button1 +Move current +.B window +while dragging +.RB ( floating +mode only). +.TP +.B Mod1-Button2 +Zoom current +.B window +to the +.B master +column +.RB ( tiling +mode only). +.TP +.B Mod1-Button3 +Resize current +.B window +while dragging +.RB ( floating +mode only). +.SH CUSTOMIZATION +.B dwm +is customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source +code.
