## Nimwin ### What is this? A very simple X11 window manager written in Nim, and inspired by TinyWM and XMonad. ### How to build it? Install nim and nimble and run `nimble build`. You must have XLib development headers on your system (and obviously an X server). ### How to run it? * Install [Xephyr](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xephyr) * Make sure you have a running X server Then run these commands to launch Xephyr. You could also directly execute nimwin from your `~/.xinitrc` which will launch it directly when your X session starts. ``` Xephyr -ac -screen 1280x1024 -br -reset -terminate 2> /dev/null :1 & env DISPLAY=:1 ./nimwin ``` ### How to launch a window? If you want to run xterm, for example, just run `xterm -display :1` ### How to move windows `alt + right` click allows you to resize, `alt + left click` allows you to move, `ctrl + alt + return` opens an xterm, and `alt + tab` cycles through windows, changing the focus each time.
