Description
bspwm is a tiling window manager that models windows as the leaves of a complete binary tree structure. It solely reacts to X events and the messages sent through a dedicated socket designed for communication. The utility bspc is responsible for sending messages to bspwm's socket. Importantly, bspwm does not manage any keyboard or mouse inputs, requiring an external program, such as sxhkd, to convert keyboard and pointer actions into bspc commands. Each monitor displays only the tree associated with the currently focused desktop, meaning that users can only see one desktop's structure at a time. This tree effectively divides a monitor's rectangular area into smaller, rectangular segments that correspond to different windows. Consequently, users can efficiently manage their workspace, promoting a streamlined and organized experience.
Description
Configuration is fully managed at runtime through the herbstclient tool, meaning that the configuration file essentially acts as a startup script. Users can make changes to configuration settings, window rules, virtual desktops, and keybindings in real time, eliminating the necessity to restart the window manager. Each virtual desktop, referred to as a tag, comprises both a tiling layer and a floating layer, where windows in the tiling layer occupy the entire screen space while floating windows can be positioned freely on top. Furthermore, all monitors utilize the same collection of tags, enabling users to swap the content of two monitors with just a single keystroke. This seamless interaction enhances the overall user experience by allowing for quick adjustments and multitasking capabilities.
