FAQ

What are the bindings?

This is suckless, mmmbud, the source code is the documentation! Check out config.h.

Okay, okay, actually I keep a readme in larbs.mom for my whole system, including the binds here. Press super+F1 to view it in dwm (zathura is required for that binding). I haven't kept man dwm/dwm.1 updated though. PRs welcome on that, lol.

Patches and features

• Clickable statusbar with my build of dwmblocks.
• Reads xresources colors/variables (i.e. works with pywal, etc.).
• scratchpad: Accessible with mod+shift+enter.
• New layouts: bstack, fibonacci, deck, centered master and more. All bound to keys super+(shift+)t/y/u/i.
• True fullscreen (super+f) and prevents focus shifting.
• Windows can be made sticky (super+s).
• hide vacant tags hides tags with no windows.
• stacker: Move windows up the stack manually (super-K/J).
• shiftview: Cycle through tags (super+g/;).
• vanitygaps: Gaps allowed across all layouts.
• swallow patch: if a program run from a terminal would make it inoperable, it temporarily takes its place to save space.

Installation for newbs

git clone https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/dwm.git
cd dwm
sudo make install

There is also a PKGBUILD usable on distributions with pacman. Run makepkg -si instead of sudo make install.

You must also install libxft-bgra!

This build of dwm does not block color emoji in the status/info bar, so you must install libxft-bgra, which fixes a libxft color emoji rendering problem, otherwise dwm will crash upon trying to render one. Hopefully this fix will be in all libxft soon enough.
