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, xmonad)
  • tiled by default (Binary space partitioning)
  • supports workspaces
  • supports multiple displays
  • single file (~600 LoC)

  4. run cargo build, binary is available in target/debug/myumerwm
