.TH DWM 1 dwm-0.5 .SH NAME dwm \- dynamic window manager .SH SYNOPSIS .B dwm .RB [ \-v ] .SH DESCRIPTION .B dwm is a dynamic window manager for X11. It manages windows in tiling and floating modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, depending on the application in use and the task performed. .P In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking column. The master column contains the window which needs most attention at a time, whereas the stacking column contains all other windows in a stack. Dialog windows are managed floating, however. In floating mode windows can be resized and moved freely. .P Windows are grouped by tags. All windows with a specific tag can be viewed at a time. But each window may contain more than one tag, which makes it visible in several views. .P .B dwm consists of a small status bar which reads the text displayed from standard input, if written. It draws 1-pixel borders around windows to indicate the focus state. Unfocused windows contain a small bar in front of the window displaying the tags and the window title. .SH OPTIONS .TP .B \-v prints version information to standard output, then exits. .SH USAGE .TP .B Mod1-Return Zoom .B window to the .B master column .TP .B Mod1-k Focus previous .B window .TP .B Mod1-j Focus next .B window .TP .B Mod1-m Maximize current .B window .TP .B Mod1-[0..n] Focus .B nth tag .TP .B Mod1-space (Re-)arrange .B all windows tiled .TP .B Mod1-Shift-space (Re-)arrange .B all windows floating .TP .B Mod1-Shift-[0..n] Apply .B nth tag to current .B window .TP .B Mod1-Shift-q Quit .B dwm .TP .B Mod1-Shift-Return Start .B terminal .TP .B Mod1-Shift-w Start .B web browser .TP .B Mod1-Shift-l Lock .B screen .TP .B Mod1-Control-[0..n] Append .B nth tag to current .B window .TP .B Mod1-Button1 Moves current .B window while dragging .TP .B Mod1-Button2 Lowers current .B window .TP .B Mod1-Button3 Resizes current .B window while dragging .SH CUSTOMIZATION .B dwm is customized through editing its source code.
