Tyler's build of dwm


This is my personal fork of dwm. It's basically the same as Luke Smith's dwm, just with different keybindings that fit me better and a few quality-of-life patches.

FAQ


What are the bindings?

This is suckless, mmmbud, the source code is the documentation!

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`).
  • 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.
  • removeborder patch: if only one window is visible on a tag, remove the borders.

Installation


git clone https://git.tylerhoang.xyz/dwm.git
cd dwm
sudo make install

Please install 'libxft-bgra'!


This build of dwm does not block color emoji in the status/info bar, so you must install [libxft-bgra](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libxft-bgra/) from the AUR, 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.
