# DotWM
A simple keyboard driven stacking window manager. **This wm still does
not work nor it's intended for a standard use**. Although one can play
around with it.
## Building
First one you need to install the [Rust compiler](www.rust-lang.org). The
code is intended to work on rust stable. Once you installed rust, run the
following snippet:
cargo build --release
For developing, you might want to run [clippy](https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy)
and it's needed to build against rust nightly. Rustup makes this easy.
just download the nightly channel or use [rustup](https://rustup.rs)
and run:
# with cargo nightly
cargo build --features=clippy
# with rustup
rustup run nightly cargo build --features=clippy
## Testing
There's an interesting tool (called `Xephyr`) to test windows managers
without the need to start a new session.
This is what I run to test it.
Xephyr :1 &
export DISPLAY=:1
/path/to/dotwm/target/debug/dotwm
## Intended features.
* A client/server model.
* Kind of tiling mode.
* Script it with all the languages that one can think of.
