# My dwm (Dynamic Window Manager) build
![Screenshot of my desktop](https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/raw/master/.screenshots/dotfiles04.png)
dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
Dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X. This is my personal build of dwm. I used a number of patches in this build to make dwm more "sensible" rather than "suckless."
# My Keybindings
The MODKEY is set to the `Super` key (aka the `Windows` key)
The MODKEY is set to the Super key (aka the Windows key). I try to keep the
keybindings consistent with all of my window managers.
| Keybinding | Action |
| :--- | :--- |
| `MODKEY + Keypad Insert` | opens run launcher (dmenu is the run launcher but can be easily changed) |
| `MODKEY + Enter` | opens terminal (st is the terminal but can be easily changed) |
| `MODKEY + RETURN` | opens terminal (alacritty is the terminal but can be easily changed) |
| `MODKEY + SHIFT + RETURN` | opens run launcher (dmenu is the run launcher but can be easily changed) |
| `MODKEY + SHIFT + c` | closes window with focus |
| `MODKEY + SHIFT + q` | quits dwm |
| `MODKEY + SHIFT + r` | restarts dwm |
| `MODKEY + SHIFT + q` | quits ddwm |
| `MODKEY + j` | focus stack +1 (switches focus between windows in the stack) |
| `MODKEY + k` | focus stack -1 (switches focus between windows in the stack) |
| `MODKEY + SHIFT + j` | rotate stack +1 (rotates the windows in the stack) |
| `MODKEY + SHIFT + k` | rotate stack -1 (rotates the windows in the stack) |
| `MODKEY + h` | setmfact -0.05 (decreases window width) |
| `MODKEY + l` | setmfact +0.05 (increases window width) |
| `MODKEY + ,` | focusmon -1 (switches focus between monitors) |
| `MODKEY + .` | focusmon +1 (switches focus between monitors) |
# Requirements
In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.
# Installation
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).
| `MODKEY + h` | setmfact -0.05 (expands size of window) |
| `MODKEY + l` | setmfact +0.05 (shrinks size of window) |
| `MODKEY + .` | focusmon +1 (switches focus next monitors) |
| `MODKEY + ,` | focusmon -1 (switches focus to prev monitors) |
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
necessary as root):
