Demo

Demo

prerequisites

you should have xmodmap installed

design goals and features

  • kiss: only window management (no taskbar, system tray, ...), complex stuff should be done using other programs (rofi, ...)
  • configuration as code (like qtile, dwm)
  • tiled by default (Binary space partitioning)
  • supports workspaces
  • two implementations: python and rust
  • single file (python: ~200 LoC, rust: ~500 LoC)

using it

You should generate your binary based on the crate (see src/main.rs) for an example.
