Aewm is a modern, minimal window manager for X11. It is controlled entirely
|
|
with the mouse, but contains no visible UI apart from window frames. It
|
|
builds complex operations by chaining together primitives aewm does not try
|
|
to do everything; there are plenty of better clients for defining hotkeys,
|
|
menus, setting your background image, etc.
|
|
|
|
Aewm makes it easy for you to keep the edges of the root window unobscured,
|
|
so that you have essentially infinite space to click without having to aim
|
|
(this principle is based on Fitts's Law). There is intentionally no panel
|
|
or dock to get in the way.
|
|
|
|
Aewm does not make decisions about where your windows should go. It can be
|
|
used as an ordinary overlapping window manager, but is powerful enough to
|
|
let you "tile" windows ad hoc if you prefer; maximizing space usage and
|
|
removing overlaps are basic commands. You can also optionally take control
|
|
of window mapping and change where windows will appear (including stacking
|
|
and tiling) before they are actually shown.
|
|
|
|
This port installs not only the window manager, but also the aemenu and
|
|
aepanel applets. These provide a list of windows by title (vertically for
|
|
aemenu, horizontally for aepanel) and a menu from which programs may be run.
