Description

The Pek Window Manager is written by Claes Nasten, the code is based on the aewm++ window manager, but it has evolved enough that it no longer resembles aewm++ at all. It has a much expanded feature-set, including window grouping (similar to ion, pwm, or fluxbox), autoproperties, xinerama, keygrabber that supports keychains, and much more.

o Lightweight and Unobtrusive, a window manager shouldn't be noticed. o Very configurable, we all work and think in different ways. o Automatic properties, for all the lazy people, make things appear as they should when starting applications. o Chainable Keygrabber, usability for everyone.
