README

afwm

Super simple X window manager in Go with RandR support.

Built around my own rewrite of go-xgb.

No full ICCCM/EWMH support planned, just enough to get by. As for why, see: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kfish/xsel/master/rant.txt (backup in docs/xsel_rant.txt)

Floating only.

Keepin' it simple.

Usage: afwm ...
 -c --config string
        Configuration file path
 -d --display string (env: $DISPLAY)
        X display address
 -h --help
        Print usage information
 -v --version
        Print version information

Example config:

# Screen padding (px)
screen-pad = 5

# Min window dimensions (px)
min-width = 480
min-height = 240

# Mouse modifier key
mouse-mod = "super"

# Keyboard bindings
key-binds = [
