wiredWM is rav3ndust's personal fork of i3, which is a tiling window manager for X11.
=====
minimal desktop and keyboard-driven for quick efficiency. clickable icons are located at the bottom of the status bar for common tasks- for those unfortunate occasions where you have to reach for the mouse
Easy to use and easily extensible. Takes up very little of precious system resources, and gives you a minimal but efficient keyboard-driven environment, so you can focus less on messing around with bells and whistles found on prominent desktop environments and focus more on the task at hand. It is a tiling window manager, and these sorts of WMs are well-loved for how efficient and extensible they can be.
Clickable launchers for:
- Sound control (handled through
volumeicon-alsa). - Screenshot utility (handles via
flameshot.) - Network/Wi-Fi manager (handles via
nm-applet.)
=====
Just open up the nightshade launcher by pressing crtl+d - that launches a custom dmenu script, and you can search for and launch your applications with ease. Think of it as your miniature Start panel.
For a general list of applications, you can also press ctrl+Shift+a and scroll through to select one. Anything that has a desktop entry will appear here.
=====
A bunch of floating windows can become difficult to manage in the middle of a workflow - which is another reason a tiling window manager can really come in handy. Being built on top of the much-loved i3, wiredWM allows you to easily tile or float your windows with a quick keyboard shortcut.
=====
wiredWM also contains:
- nightshader, a custom dmenu for running commands and launching applications.
- scripts for lock screen with password via i3lock-fancy
- my own custom scripts built on top of suckless's surf browser.
- a custom conky config
- various other assorted things
- custom keyboard shortcuts for some of the scripts we've built in
For more information about i3, please see the project's website and online documentation. I'll be updating docs for this fork soon.
You're of course more than free to contribute to my fork, but if you want to check out more information about contributing to the OG i3, please see CONTRIBUTING.md.
If you like wiredWM and feel some burning desire to help fund it, please direct your contributions towards the parent project, i3. WIthout it, this project would not be able to exist!
close the world, enter the nExt ;)
