.SH NAME
dwm \- dynamic window manager
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B dwm
.RB [ \-v ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
dwm is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiling and
floating modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, optimizing the
environment for the applicati
y. Dialog windows are always managed floating, regardless of the mode selected. .P Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these tags. .P dwm 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. The selected tags are highlighted with a different color, the tags of the focused window are highlighted with a small point. .P dwm 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 \-v prints version information to standard output, then exits. .SH USAGE .SS Status bar .TP .B Standard input is read and displayed in the status text area. .TP .B Button1 click on a tag label to display all windows with that tag, click on the mode label toggles between tiled and floating mode. .TP .B Button3 click on a tag label adds/removes all windows with that tag to/from the view. .TP .B Mod1-Button1 click on a tag label applies that tag to the focused window. .TP .B Mod1-Button3 click on a tag label adds/removes that tag to/from the focused window. .SS Keyboard commands .TP .B Mod1-Shift-Return Start .BR xterm (1). .TP .B Mod1-Tab Focus next window. .TP .B Mod1-Shift-Tab Focus previous window. .TP .B Mod1-Return Zooms/cycles current window to/from master column (tiling mode), toggles maximization current window (floating mode). .TP .B Mod1-g Grow current column (tiling mode only). .TP .B Mod1-s Shrink current column (tiling mode only). .TP .B Mod1-Shift-[1..n] Apply .RB nth tag to current window. .TP .B Mod1-Control-Shift-[1..n] Add/remove .B nth tag to/from current window. .TP .B Mod1-Shift-c Close focused window. .TP .B Mod1-space Toggle between tiled and floating mode (affects all windows). .TP .B Mod1-[1..n] View all windows with .BR nth tag. .TP .B Mod1-0 View all windows with any tag. .TP .B Mod1-Control-[1..n] Add/remove all windows with .BR nth tag to/from the view. .TP .B Mod1-Shift-q Quit dwm. .SS Mouse commands .TP .B Mod1-Button1 Move current window while dragging (floating mode only). .TP .B Mod1-Button2 Zoom current window to the master column (tiling mode only). .TP .B Mod1-Button3 Resize current window while dragging (floating mode only). .SH CUSTOMIZATION dwm is customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple. .SH CAVEATS The status bar may display .BR "broken pipe" when dwm has been started by .BR xdm (1), because it closes standard output before executing dwm. .SH SEE ALSO .BR dmenu (1)
