It manages windows in tiling and 1.12 +versatile layouts. Either layout can be applied dynamically, optimizing the 1.13 +environment for the application in use and the task performed. 1.14 +.P 1.15 +In tiling layout windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master 1.16 +area contains the windows which currently need most attention, whereas the 1.17 +stacking area contains all other windows. In versatile layout windows can be 1.18 +resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed versatile, 1.19 +regardless of the layout applied. 1.20 +.P 1.21 +Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple 1.22 +tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these tags. 1.23 +.P 1.24 +dwm contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the layout, 1.25 +the title of the focused window, and the text read from standard input. The 1.26 +selected tags are indicated with a different color. The tags of the focused 1.27 +window are indicated with a filled square in the top left corner. The tags 1.28 +which are applied to one or more windows are indicated with an empty square in 1.29 +the top left corner. 1.30 +.P 1.31 +dwm draws a small border around windows to indicate the focus state. 1.32 +.SH OPTIONS 1.33 +.TP 1.34 +.B \-v 1.35 +prints version information to standard output, then exits. 1.36 +.SH USAGE 1.37 +.SS Status bar 1.38 +.TP 1.39 +.B Standard input 1.40 +is read and displayed in the status text area. 1.41 +.TP 1.42 +.B Button1 1.43 +click on a tag label to display all windows with that tag, click on the layout 1.44 +label toggles between tiling and versatile layout. 1.45 +.TP 1.46 +.B Button3 1.47 +click on a tag label adds/removes all windows with that tag to/from the view. 1.48 +.TP 1.49 +.B Button4 1.50 +click on the layout label increases the number of windows in the master area (tiling layout only). 1.51 +.TP 1.52 +.B Button5 1.53 +click on the layout label decreases the number of windows in the master area (tiling layout only). 1.54 +.TP 1.55 +.B Mod1-Button1 1.56 +click on a tag label applies that tag to the focused window. 1.57 +.TP 1.58 +.B Mod1-Button3 1.59 +click on a tag label adds/removes that tag to/from the focused window. 1.60 +.SS Keyboard commands 1.61 +.TP 1.62 +.B Mod1-Shift-Return 1.63 +Start 1.64 +.BR xterm (1). 1.65 +.TP 1.66 +.B Mod1-Tab 1.67 +Focus next window. 1.68 +.TP 1.69 +.B Mod1-Shift-Tab 1.70 +Focus previous window. 1.71 +.TP 1.72 +.B Mod1-Return 1.73 +Zooms/cycles current window to/from master area (tiling layout), toggles maximization of current window (versatile layout). 1.74 +.TP 1.75 +.B Mod1-g 1.76 +Grow master area (tiling layout only). 1.77 +.TP 1.78 +.B Mod1-s 1.79 +Shrink master area (tiling layout only). 1.80 +.TP 1.81 +.B Mod1-i 1.82 +Increase the number of windows in the master area (tiling layout only). 1.83 +.TP 1.84 +.B Mod1-d 1.85 +Decrease the number of windows in the master area (tiling layout only). 1.86 +.TP 1.87 +.B Mod1-Shift-[1..n] 1.88 +Apply 1.89 +.RB nth 1.90 +tag to current window. 1.91 +.TP 1.92 +.B Mod1-Shift-0 1.93 +Apply all tags to current window. 1.94 +.TP 1.95 +.B Mod1-Control-Shift-[1..n] 1.96 +Add/remove 1.97 +.B nth 1.98 +tag to/from current window. 1.99 +.TP 1.100 +.B Mod1-Shift-c 1.101 +Close focused window. 1.102 +.TP 1.103 +.B Mod1-space 1.104 +Toggle between tiling and versatile layout (affects all windows). 1.105 +.TP 1.106 +.B Mod1-Shift-space 1.107 +Toggle focused window between versatile and non-versatile state (tiling layout only). 1.108 +.TP 1.109 +.B Mod1-[1..n] 1.110 +View all windows with 1.111 +.BR nth 1.112 +tag. 1.113 +.TP 1.114 +.B Mod1-0 1.115 +View all windows with any tag. 1.116 +.TP 1.117 +.B Mod1-Control-[1..n] 1.118 +Add/remove all windows with 1.119 +.BR nth 1.120 +tag to/from the view. 1.121 +.TP 1.122 +.B Mod1-Shift-q 1.123 +Quit dwm. 1.124 +.SS Mouse commands 1.125 +.TP 1.126 +.B Mod1-Button1 1.127 +Move current window while dragging (versatile layout only). 1.128 +.TP 1.129 +.B Mod1-Button2 1.130 +Zooms/cycles current window to/from master area (tiling layout), toggles maximization of current window (versatile layout). 1.131 +.TP 1.132 +.B Mod1-Button3 1.133 +Resize current window while dragging (versatile layout only). 1.134 +.SH CUSTOMIZATION 1.135 +dwm is customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source 1.136 +code.

The XToolkit/XAWT backend breaks ICCCM-compliance in recent JDK 1.5 and early 1.148 +JDK 1.6 versions, because it assumes a reparenting window manager. As a workaround 1.149 +you can use JDK 1.4 (which doesn't contain the XToolkit/XAWT backend) or you 1.150 +can set the following environment variable (to use the older Motif 1.151 +backend instead): 1.152 +.BR AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit .
