Description

TinyWM is a tiny window manager created as an exercise in minimalism. It is also maybe helpful in learning some of the very basics of creating a window manager. It is only around 50 lines of C.

It lets you do four basic things:

  • Move windows interactively with Alt+Button1 drag
  • Resize windows interactively with Alt+Button3 drag
  • Raise windows with Alt+F1
  • Focus windows with the mouse pointer
