My build of dwm

Status bar: dwm_status_kai.sh

Human-readable list of patches: https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch

| markdown | table | https://github.com/bakkeby/patches/wiki/switchtag remove? deck

Patches I use

  • attachbottom -- less obtrusive window spawning; extra keypress when you actually want the master (e.g. zathura, sxiv, lynxreader)
  • cool-autostart -- control autostart via config.h
  • deck -- for latex work
  • hide_vacant_tags -- i3-like
  • losefullscreen -- disable true fs (not monocle) when focus changes
  • push_no_master -- move windows up/down the stack; does not allow pushing to master
  • restartsig -- auto-restart dwm; all windows get moved to tag 1; may bork status bar font
  • shiftviewclients -- cycle through tags (skip empty ones)
  • singularborders -- remove outer borders, merge inner borders; borders have some inherent latency
  • switchtag -- auto-focus window on new tag (need extra window prop)

Patches I might use

  • actualfullscreen / togglefullscreen
  • ewmhtags -- allow wmctrl
  • keychord -- keybinds without needing to hold a key
  • nametag -- change tag name while running
  • onlyquitonempty -- don't kill dwm if windows remain
  • pertag -- tag-specific layouts
  • regex-rules -- more flexible window-matching; unclean patch
  • swapfocus / switchcol / focusmaster -- zoom without changing position
  • windowrolerule -- will this help with deeznuts?
  • zoomswap -- 'weakens' zoom (swap master with stack, instead of pushing to 2)

Patches I no longer/probably won't use

  • attachdirection (above/aside/below/top) -- bottom is fine with me
  • bottomstack
  • centeredmaster
  • centeredwindowname -- not practical with long status bar; maybe with taller bar
  • dwmblocks
  • fakefullscreen -- i usually want actual fullscreen
  • focusadjacenttag -- 'unclean' patch; use shiftviewclients instead
  • focusonnetactive -- idk what this does
  • focusurgent -- doesn't work
  • inplacerotate / movestack / rotatestack -- same as push_no_master
  • monoclesymbol -- use actual symbol
  • scratchpad
  • sendmon_keepfocus -- auto-focus window when moved to new monitor; but not newly spawned window!
  • swallow -- i prefer floating
  • switchtotag -- "switch back to previous tag" behaviour is very annoying!
  • systray -- bloat
  • warp -- move cursor when focus changes; more annoying than useful
