       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
       xmonad has several flags which you may pass to the executable.  These flags are:

       –recompile
              Recompiles your configuration in ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs

       –restart
              Causes the currently running xmonad process to restart

       –replace
              Replace the current window manager with xmonad

       –version
              Display version of xmonad

       –verbose-version
              Display detailed version of xmonad

Examples

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

              exec xmonad

Customization

       xmonad is customized in ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs, and then restarted with mod-q.

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