# DWM-hiltjo: my windowmanager configuration

Last modification on 2020-07-20
»DWM« is a very minimal windowmanager. It has the most essential features I
need, everything else is "do-it-yourself" or extending it with the many
available »patches«. The vanilla version is less than 2000 SLOC. This makes it
easy to understand and modify it.

I really like my configuration at the moment and want to share my changes. Some
of the features listed below are patches from suckless.org I applied, but there
are also some changes I made.

This configuration is entirely tailored for my preferences of course.


## Features

* Titlebar:
  * Shows all clients of the selected / active tags.
  * Divide application titlebars evenly among available space.
  * Colour urgent clients in the taskbar on active tags.
  * Left-click focuses clicked client.
  * Right-click toggles monocle layout.
  * Middle-click kills the clicked client.
* Tagbar:
  * Only show active tags.
  * Colour inactive tags with urgent clients.
* Layouts:
  * Cycle layouts with Modkey + Space (next) and Modkey + Control + Space
    (previous).
  * Fullscreen layout (hides topbar and removes borders).
* Other:
  * Move tiled clients around with the mouse (drag-move), awesomewm-like.
  * Add some keybinds for multimedia keyboards (audio play / pause, mute, www,
    volume buttons, etc).
* ... and more ;) ...


## Clone
