Description
herbstluftwm is a manual tiling window manager for X11 using Xlib and Glib.
Its main features can be described with:
-
The layout is based on splitting frames into subframes which can be split again or can be filled with windows (similar to i3 or musca)
-
Tags (or workspaces, or virtual desktops) can be added/removed at runtime. Each tag contains an own layout
-
Exactly one tag is viewed on each monitor. The tags are monitor independent (similar to xmonad)
-
It is configured at runtime via IPC calls from herbstclient. So the configuration file is just a script which is run on startup. (Similar to wmii or musca)
