# sxwm - *The (truly) Simple Xorg Window Manager*
Performance greater than DWM, and easier to config than i3wm
<a href="1"><img src="screenshots/1.png" width="35%" align="right"></a>
Here we have a **minimal**, **tiling**, and **configurable** window manager.
- **[NEW] Multi-Monitor Support with Xinerama. Enable / Disable from config.**
- **Tiling & Floating**: Seamlessly switch between layouts.
- **Workspaces**: Workspaces work with your bar.
- **Bars work too**: BAR BAR BAR?! Why not try [sxbar](https://github.com/uint23/sxbar)
- **Lightweight**: Single C file plus a small header and config.
- **Easy Config**: All settings in `config`.
- **SUPER Fast**: Sometimes **0.2M** sometimes **0.3M**, idk ~~but still destroys DWM~~ (this is a lie because dwm also has font rendering but still :] )
- **BEST WM**: Basically DWM on roids (and without the elitism).
- **Minimal Codebase**: ~1000 LOC
<br>
<a href="2"><img src="screenshots/2.png" width="35%" align="right"></a>
- **Master-Stack**: Use the DWM native and super productive layout.
- **Keyboard-driven**: Full coverage via `MOD` + keys.
- **Mouse Support**: Focus under cursor, move & resize with modifiers.
- **Zero Dependencies**: Only requires `libX11`.
- **Compiles on a Toaster**: As long as it has a decently modern compiler.
<br clear="right">
---
## Default Configuration
All options reside in `config` (which is just a header-file) with clear comments.
Keybindings are also easy to understand and quick to implement.
No more bindsym or... *\*shudders\** C code...
```c
CMD(terminal, "st");
CMD(browser, "firefox");
static const Binding binds[] =
{
/*————< MODIFIER(S) >< KEY >—————< FUNCTION >——*/
/*———————< Here are your functions calls >————— — */
CALL(MOD|SHIFT, e, quit),
CALL(MOD|SHIFT, q, close_focused),
CALL(MOD, j, focus_next),
CALL(MOD, k, focus_prev),
CALL(MOD|SHIFT, j, move_master_next),
CALL(MOD|SHIFT, k, move_master_prev),
CALL(MOD, equal, inc_gaps),
CALL(MOD, minus, dec_gaps),
CALL(MOD, space, toggle_floating),
CALL(MOD|SHIFT, space, toggle_floating_global),
.....
```
---
## Default Keybindings
**Window Management**
| Combo | Action |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| `Mouse` | Focus under cursor |
| `MOD` + `Left Mouse` | Move window by mouse |
| `MOD` + `Right Mouse` | Resize window by mouse |
| `MOD` + `j` / `k` | Focus next / previous |
| `MOD` + `Shift` + `j` / `k` | Move in master stack |
| `MOD` + `Space` | Toggle floating |
| `MOD` + `Shift` + `Space` | Toggle all floating |
| `MOD` + `=` / `-` | Inc/Dec gaps |
| `MOD` + `f` | Fullscreen toggle |
| `MOD` + `c` | Center window |
| `MOD` + `q` | Close focused window |
| `MOD` + `1-9` | Switch workspace 1–9 |
| `MOD` + `Shift` + `1-9` | Move window to WS 1–9 |
**Programs**
| Combo | Action | Programs (by default) |
| -------------------- | ---------- | --------- |
| `MOD` + `Return` | Terminal | `st` |
| `MOD` + `b` | Browser | `firefox` |
---
## Dependencies
- `libX11` (Xorg client library)
- GCC / Clang & Make
---
## Makefile Targets
Below are the available `make` targets for streamlining common tasks:
| Target | Description |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `make` or `make all` | Compile the source files into the `sxwm` binary. |
| `make clean` | Remove object files (`*.o`) and build artifacts. |
| `make install` | Install `sxwm` to `$(PREFIX)/bin` (default `/usr/local/bin`). |
| `make uninstall` | Remove the installed binary from `$(PREFIX)/bin`. |
| `make clean-install` | Runs `make clean` then `make install`. |
> You can override the install directory by specifying `PREFIX` or `DESTDIR`, for example:
> ```sh
> make install PREFIX=$HOME/.local
> ```
---
## Installation
### Arch linux - AUR
```
yay -S sxwm
```
### Build from source
1. **Clone repository**
```bash
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/uint23/sxwm.git
cd sxwm/
make
sudo make clean-install
```
2. **Run**
Add `sxwm` to `~/.xinitrc`:
```sh
exec sxwm
```
