Overview
--------
EXWM (Emacs X Window Manager) is a full-featured tiling X window manager
for Emacs built on top of [XELB](https://github.com/ch11ng/xelb).
It features:
+ Fully keyboard-driven operations
+ Hybrid layout modes (tiling & stacking)
+ Dynamic workspace support
+ ICCCM/EWMH compliance
+ (Optional) RandR (multi-monitor) support
+ (Optional) Built-in system tray
Installation & configuration
----------------------------
Here are the minimal steps to get EXWM working:
1. Install XELB and EXWM, and make sure they are in `load-path'.
2. In '~/.emacs', add following lines (please modify accordingly):
(require 'exwm)
(require 'exwm-config)
(exwm-config-default)
3. Link or copy the file 'xinitrc' to '~/.xinitrc'.
4. Launch EXWM in a console (e.g. tty1) with
xinit -- vt01
You should additionally hide the menu-bar, tool-bar, etc to increase the
usable space. Please check the wiki (https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm/wiki)
for more detailed instructions on installation, configuration, usage, etc.
