Library for writing RiverWM Configuration in Rust!

This is just a proof of concept and my attempt at better understanding Rust.

Currently Work In Progress.

Why?

Well, why not? After all, why not build something unique and fun.

On a more serious note, writing configuration for RiverWM in programming languages teaches a lot about language's basic operations, loops, typing, working with strings, creating compound objects and tooling. That's why I would recommend you too to try and build a simple library for configuring RiverWM in any language you want (C, Zig, Haskell, Java?, whatever!).

Current status

Right now you can describe and apply custom keybindings in a procedural way, when you apply keybinds one by one, depending on wether you want to change the modifier keys, and then apply config in the end.

TODO:

  • [] Write function to generate tag keybinds
  • [] Write autospawn function (You can use spawn function by now)
  • [] Make writing custom rules work
