xmonad

[XMonad][web:xmonad] is a tiling window manager for X11. Windows are arranged automatically to tile the screen without gaps or overlap, maximising screen use. Window manager features are accessible from the keyboard: a mouse is optional. xmonad is written, configured and extensible in Haskell. Custom layout algorithms, key bindings and other extensions may be written by the user in config files. Layouts are applied dynamically, and different layouts may be used on each workspace. Xinerama is fully supported, allowing windows to be tiled on several physical screens. This repository contains the [xmonad][hackage:xmonad] package, a minimal, stable, yet extensible core. It is accompanied by [xmonad-contrib][gh:xmonad-contrib], a library of hundreds of additional community-maintained tiling algorithms and extension modules. The two combined make for a powerful X11 window-manager with endless customization possibilities. They are, quite literally, libraries for creating your own window manager. If you run into any trouble, consult our [documentation][web:documentation] or ask the [community][web:community] for help. Please do read the [CONTRIBUTING][gh:xmonad:contributing] document for more information about bug reporting and code contributions.

Started in 2007 by [Spencer Janssen][gh:spencerjanssen], [Don Stewart][gh:donsbot] and [Jason Creighton][gh:JasonCreighton], the [XMonad][web:xmonad] project lives on thanks to [new generations of maintainers][gh:xmonad:maintainers] and [dozens of contributors][gh:xmonad:contributors].
