It manages windows in tiling and 1.21 +floating modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, optimizing the 1.22 +environment for the application in use and the task performed. 1.23 +.P 1.24 +In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master 1.25 +area contains the windows which currently need most attention, whereas the 1.26 +stacking area contains all other windows. In floating mode windows can be 1.27 +resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating, 1.28 +regardless of the mode applied. 1.29 +.P 1.30 +Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple 1.31 +tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these tags. 1.32 +.P 1.33 +dwm contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the mode, 1.34 +the title of the focused window, and the text read from standard input. The 1.35 +selected tags are indicated with a different color. The tags of the focused 1.36 +window are indicated with a filled square in the top left corner. The tags 1.37 +which are applied to one or more windows are indicated with an empty square in 1.38 +the top left corner. 1.39 +.P 1.40 +dwm draws a small border around windows to indicate the focus state. 1.41 + 1.42 + 1.43 +.SH OPTIONS 1.44 +.TP 1.45 +.B \-v 1.46 +prints version information to standard output, then exits. 1.47 + 1.48 + 1.49 +.SH USAGE 1.50 + 1.51 +.SS Status bar 1.52 +.TP 1.53 +.B Standard input 1.54 +is read and displayed in the status text area. 1.55 +.TP 1.56 +.B Button1 1.57 +click on the bar to display the other tag. 1.58 + 1.59 +.SS Keyboard commands 1.60 +.TP 1.61 +.B Mod1-Shift-Return 1.62 +Start 1.63 +.BR xterm (1). 1.64 +.TP 1.65 +.B Mod1-Tab 1.66 +Focus next window. 1.67 +.TP 1.68 +.B Mod1-i 1.69 +Increase the number of windows in the master area (tiling mode only). 1.70 +.TP 1.71 +.B Mod1-d 1.72 +Decrease the number of windows in the master area (tiling mode only). 1.73 +.TP 1.74 +.B Mod1-F1 1.75 +View other tag. 1.76 +.TP 1.77 +.B Mod1-F3 1.78 +Move current window to other tag. 1.79 +.TP 1.80 +.B Mod1-^ 1.81 +Start 1.82 +.BR dmenu (1) 1.83 +.TP 1.84 +.B Mod1-1 1.85 +Zooms/cycles current window to/from master area (tiling mode), toggles maximization current window (floating mode). 1.86 +.TP 1.87 +.B Mod1-2 1.88 +Close focused window. 1.89 +.TP 1.90 +.B Mod1-space 1.91 +Toggle between tiling and max mode (affects all windows). 1.92 +.TP 1.93 +.B Mod1-Shift-space 1.94 +Toggle focused window between floating and non-floating state. 1.95 +.TP 1.96 +.B Mod1-Shift-q 1.97 +Quit dwm. 1.98 + 1.99 +.SS Mouse commands 1.100 +.TP 1.101 +.B Mod1-Button1 1.102 +Move current window while dragging (floating mode only). 1.103 +.TP 1.104 +.B Mod1-Button3 1.105 +Resize current window while dragging (floating mode only). 1.106 + 1.107 + 1.108 +.SH CUSTOMIZATION 1.109 +dwm is customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source 1.110 +code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple. 1.111 + 1.112 + 1.113 +.SH SEE ALSO 1.114 +.BR dmenu (1) 1.115 + 1.116 + 1.117 +.SH BUGS 1.118 +The status bar may display 1.119 +.BR "EOF" 1.120 +when dwm has been started by an X session manager like 1.121 +.BR xdm (1), 1.122 +because those close standard output before executing dwm. 1.123 +.P 1.124 +Java applications which use the XToolkit/XAWT backend may draw grey windows 1.125 +only. The XToolkit/XAWT backend breaks ICCCM-compliance in recent JDK 1.5 and early 1.126 +JDK 1.6 versions, because it assumes a reparenting window manager. As a workaround 1.127 +you can use JDK 1.4 (which doesn't contain the XToolkit/XAWT backend) or you 1.128 +can set the following environment variable (to use the older Motif 1.129 +backend instead): 1.130 +.BR AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit .
