My dwm setup is quite quirky as it relies on sxhkd for all keybindings (except quitting dwm). If you wonder how a custom dwm instance can be kept in sync with the upstream version, look at this file
As this build is used in both my laptop an my desktop (a.k.a. battlestation), the makefile defines a CONFIG_FLAG which adapts certain parameters on compile time to tailor to the current machine. For example, my desktop uses a 4k 32" monitor. I therefore specify a bigger font size for my status bar.
My intent is to have 1 patch = 1 commit (as much as possible) so that I can
easily backtrack if I change my mind about a patch later on.
- defaultlayoutpermonitor allows my vertical ultrawide to always be setup
- activemonitor lets me always know I'm on which monitor
- alpha gives my sweet eyecandy transparency in my statusbar
- alwayscenter make floating windows feel cohesive
- fullscreen is a hacky (functional) way of viewing windows in fullscreen
- hide_vacant_tags minimizes space used by my tag list
- resizecorners lets me resize a window by pinching any corner
- mainmon hides my statusbar on non-main monitors (cool for presentations)
- statuscmd lets me refresh dwmblocks when clicking on blocks
- dwmc let's me control all of dwm with external command (issued by sxhkd)
- movestack lets me move a single window up and down the stack
- rotatestack shifts the entire window stack up/down
- tilewide is a good layout for horizontal ultrawide monitors
- vanitygaps adds some eyecandy gaps to my layouts below
- cfacts allows resizing based on a weight value in layouts below
- bottomstack is a great layout for vertical ultrawide monitors
- centeredmaster is a good layout for redacting while researching
