3 f7481580 2022-02-21 op The calm window manager, cwm for short, is my favourite window manager.
4 f7481580 2022-02-21 op It's *the* window manager that convinced me that using a floating window
5 f7481580 2022-02-21 op manager was actually worth it.
6 f7481580 2022-02-21 op
7 f7481580 2022-02-21 op My configuration is unusually long.
8 f7481580 2022-02-21 op
9 f7481580 2022-02-21 op First I have a list of applications for the built-in menu:

22 9742dc33 2022-03-02 op I found these color by random I guess, but they're fine

30 f7481580 2022-02-21 op
31 0ae8e78f 2022-11-23 op I've started to use cwm without "sticky" tags. Enabling the sticky mode
32 0ae8e78f 2022-11-23 op makes cwm behave like other windows managers with "tags" (or
33 0ae8e78f 2022-11-23 op "workspaces".) Without sticky tags, you can decide with more granularly
34 0ae8e78f 2022-11-23 op which window to show and which not.
35 f7481580 2022-02-21 op
36 0ae8e78f 2022-11-23 op # sticky yes
37 f7481580 2022-02-21 op
38 f7481580 2022-02-21 op I also prefer to "snap" windows close to the edges

52 f7481580 2022-02-21 op
53 f7481580 2022-02-21 op autogroup does what it seems: it automatically moves some windows in a
54 f7481580 2022-02-21 op specific group (aka workspace.) The group 0 is sticky across all groups
