A fucking python tiling window manager.
Fpwm is a tiling window manager written in python. One can configure it and access its internals using python. It's a little bit what xmonad offers, without the purely functional approach of Haskell.
- tiling, floating clients
- multi-screens (xrandr)
- multi-workspaces (shared between screens)
- multi-layouts (per workspace)
- keyboard/mouse bindings
- cycle/resize layouts
- move/resize client
- next/prev client
- up/down client into a layout
- next/prev workspaces
- goto/sendto workspace
- status info and available space (ie. for dzen)
- toggle fullscreen/show desktop
- spawn external programs
- ignored clients
- quake console
- wanted to know how it works
- used to xmonad ... but Haskell
- easy to read/understand
- simple/stupid, minimalistic and highly configurable
- good for imperative minds and not functional ones ... even if i should admit xmonad really rocks !
- you will cry blood if you're a good python programmer
- there are bugs, they will be fixed
- check TODO and BUGS files
- ensure to have xcb libs (>= 1.8) and python xcb bindings (python-xpyb under Debian)
- clone it
git clone git@github.com:sduverger/fpwm.git - ninja it
mv fpwm .fpwm - edit
config.py - run it
~/.fpwm/fpwm.py | dzen2 -w <screen_width> -x <screen_offset>
