Minimal Window Manager MinWM

Simple and tiny single screen tiling X Window Manager. No configuration files. Provides the following keyboard interface to manage windows,

ALT+ESC .......... Close window.
ALT+TAB .......... Cycle through window list (just like Windows).
ALT+` ............ Cycle window shape between full, and left/right halves.

MinWM requires that the user starts a terminal, prior to running MinWM, which can be used to start other applications.

Compile From Source

Might have to modify your include and library path, but something like this should work,

gcc minwm.c -Os -o minwm -I/usr/X11/include -L/usr/X11/lib -lX11

Install

Compile yourself a binary. Setup your .xinitrc file to startup a terminal and then minwm,

xterm -rv -ls +sb -sl 4096 &
$HOME/minwm

Then run xinit to start X.
