.TH DWM 1 dwm-VERSION.SH NAMEdwm \- dynamic window manager.SH SYNOPSIS.B dwm.RB [ \-v ].SH DESCRIPTIONdwm is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiling andfloating modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, optimizing theenvironment for the application in use and the task performed..PIn tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The masterarea contains the window which currently needs most attention, whereas thestacking area contains all other windows. In floating mode windows can beresized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating,regardless of the mode selected..PWindows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multipletags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these tags..Pdwm contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the mode,the title of the focused window, and the text read from standard input. Theselected tags are indicated with a different color. The tags of the focusedwindow are indicated with a filled square in the top left corner.  The tagswhich are applied to one or more windows are indicated with an empty square inthe top left corner..Pdwm draws a 1-pixel border around windows to indicate the focus state.Unfocused windows contain a small bar in front of them displaying their title..SH OPTIONS.TP.B \-vprints version information to standard output, then exits..SH USAGE.SS Status bar.TP.B Standard inputis read and displayed in the status text area..TP.B Button1click on a tag label to display all windows with that tag, click on the modelabel toggles between tiling and floating mode..TP.B Button3click on a tag label adds/removes all windows with that tag to/from the view..TP.B Mod1-Button1click on a tag label applies that tag to the focused window..TP.B Mod1-Button3click on a tag label adds/removes that tag to/from the focused window..SS Keyboard commands.TP.B Mod1-Shift-ReturnStart.BR xterm (1)..TP.B Mod1-TabFocus next window..TP.B Mod1-Shift-TabFocus previous window..TP.B Mod1-ReturnZooms/cycles current window to/from master area (tiling mode), toggles maximization current window (floating mode)..TP.B Mod1-gGrow master area (tiling mode only)..TP.B Mod1-sShrink master area (tiling mode only)..TP.B Mod1-plusIncrease clients of master area (tiling mode only)..TP.B Mod1-minusDecrease clients of master area (tiling mode only)..TP.B Mod1-Shift-[1..n]Apply.RB nthtag to current window..TP.B Mod1-Shift-0Apply all tags to current window..TP.B Mod1-Control-Shift-[1..n]Add/remove.B nthtag to/from current window..TP.B Mod1-Shift-cClose focused window..TP.B Mod1-spaceToggle between tiling and floating mode (affects all windows)..TP.B Mod1-Shift-spaceToggle focused window between floating and non-floating state (tiling mode only)..TP.B Mod1-[1..n]View all windows with.BR nthtag..TP.B Mod1-0View all windows with any tag..TP.B Mod1-Control-[1..n]Add/remove all windows with.BR nthtag to/from the view..TP.B Mod1-Shift-qQuit dwm..SS Mouse commands.TP.B Mod1-Button1Move current window while dragging (floating mode only)..TP.B Mod1-Button2Zoom current window to the master area (tiling mode only)..TP.B Mod1-Button3Resize current window while dragging (floating mode only)..SH CUSTOMIZATIONdwm is customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the sourcecode. This keeps it fast, secure and simple..SH CAVEATSThe status bar may display.BR "EOF"when dwm has been started by an X session manager like.BR xdm (1),because those close standard output before executing dwm..PJava applications which use the XToolkit/XAWT backend may draw grey windowsonly. The XToolkit/XAWT backend breaks ICCCM-compliance in recent JDK 1.5 and earlyJDK 1.6 versions, because it assumes a reparenting window manager. As a workaroundyou can use JDK 1.4 (which doesn't contain the XToolkit/XAWT backend) or youcan set the following environment variable (to use the older Motifbackend instead):.BR AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit ..SH SEE ALSO.BR dmenu (1)
