Wmfs
From ArchWiki
Introduction
WMFS (Window Manager From Scratch) is a lightweight and highly configurable tiling window manager for X. It can be configured with a configuration file, supports Xft (Freetype) fonts and is compliant with the Extended Window Manager Hints (EWMH) specifications. It's still under heavy development
Installation
wmfs is available from the unsuportet [AUR] . Due the high development rate its reccomended to use the git version.
First you must install GIT if you don't have it.
pacman -S git
Go to your $BUILD directory and get the PKGBUILD files, unpack it and head into it.
wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wmfs-git/wmfs-git.tar.gztar xvvfz wmfs-git.tar.gz cd wmfs-git
Lets make the package and install it.
makepkg -s pacman -U wmfs-git-$VERSION-i686.pkg.tar.gz
Create a folder for the config file and put a copy of the example config file there
mkdir -p ~/.config/wmfs cp $BUILD/wmfs-git/src/wmfs-build/wmfsrc ~/config/wmfs
To use wmfs as windowmanager
echo "exec wmfs" > ~/.xinitrc
Configuration
The config file is quite self-explanatory. More detailed informations will follow soon.
If you want to use the win-key instead of the Alt you have to replace Alt trough Super or Mod4 in the config file e.g
[key] mod = { "Super" } key = "p" func = "launcher" cmd = "launcher_exec" [/key]
If you press win + p the launcher in the titlebar(similar to dmenu) will be startet. It also supports tab-completition.
