Name

       xmonad - Tiling Window Manager

Description

       xmonad  is  a  minimalist  tiling  window  manager for X, written in Haskell.  Windows are
       managed using automatic layout algorithms, which can be dynamically reconfigured.  At  any
       time  windows  are arranged so as to maximize the use of screen real estate.  All features
       of the window manager are accessible  purely  from  the  keyboard:  a  mouse  is  entirely
       optional.   xmonad  is  configured  in  Haskell,  and  custom  layout  algorithms  may  be
       implemented by the user in config files.  A principle of  xmonad  is  predictability:  the
       user  should  know  in  advance precisely the window arrangement that will result from any
       action.

       By default, xmonad provides three layout algorithms: tall, wide and fullscreen.   In  tall
       or  wide  mode, windows are tiled and arranged to prevent overlap and maximize screen use.
       Sets of windows are grouped together on virtual screens, and each screen retains  its  own
       layout,  which  may be reconfigured dynamically.  Multiple physical monitors are supported
       via Xinerama, allowing simultaneous display of a number of screens.

       By utilizing the expressivity of a modern functional language  with  a  rich  static  type
       system,  xmonad  provides a complete, featureful window manager in less than 1200 lines of
       code, with an emphasis on correctness and robustness.  Internal properties of  the  window
       manager  are checked using a combination of static guarantees provided by the type system,
       and type-based automated testing.  A benefit of  this  is  that  the  code  is  simple  to
       understand, and easy to modify.

Usage

       xmonad  places  each  window  into  a  “workspace”.  Each workspace can have any number of
       windows, which you can cycle though with mod-j and mod-k.  Windows  are  either  displayed
       full screen, tiled horizontally, or tiled vertically.  You can toggle the layout mode with
       mod-space, which will cycle through the available modes.

       You can switch to workspace N with mod-N.  For example, to  switch  to  workspace  5,  you
       would  press  mod-5.  Similarly, you can move the current window to another workspace with
       mod-shift-N.

       When running with multiple monitors  (Xinerama),  each  screen  has  exactly  1  workspace
       visible.   mod-{w,e,r}  switch the focus between screens, while shift-mod-{w,e,r} move the
       current window to that screen.  When xmonad starts, workspace 1 is on screen 1,  workspace
       2  is  on  screen  2,  etc.  When switching workspaces to one that is already visible, the
       current and visible workspaces are swapped.

   Flags

              Causes the currently running xmonad process to restart

Examples

       To use xmonad as your window manager add to your ~/.xinitrc file:

              exec xmonad

Customization

       xmonad is customized in your xmonad.hs, and then restarted with  mod-q.   You  can  choose
       where your configuration file lives by

       1. Setting  XMONAD_DATA_DIR,  XMONAD_CONFIG_DIR,  and  XMONAD_CACHE_DIR; xmonad.hs is then
          expected to be in XMONAD_CONFIG_DIR.

       2. Creating xmonad.hs in ~/.xmonad.

       3. Creating xmonad.hs in XDG_CONFIG_HOME.  Note  that,  in  this  case,  xmonad  will  use
          XDG_DATA_HOME and XDG_CACHE_HOME for its data and cache directory respectively.

       You  can  find  many  extensions  to  the core feature set in the xmonad- contrib package,
       available through your package manager or from xmonad.org (https://xmonad.org).

   Modular Configuration
       As of xmonad-0.9, any additional Haskell modules  may  be  placed  in  ~/.xmonad/lib/  are
       available  in GHC’s searchpath.  Hierarchical modules are supported: for example, the file
       ~/.xmonad/lib/XMonad/Stack/MyAdditions.hs could contain:

              module XMonad.Stack.MyAdditions (function1) where
                function1 = error "function1: Not implemented yet!"

       Your xmonad.hs may then import XMonad.Stack.MyAdditions as if that  module  was  contained
       within xmonad or xmonad-contrib.
