#+TITLE: Joe's dwm (the dynamic window manager) build
The original [[https://dwm.suckless.org/][dwm]] build I used to run. Based on version 6.2.

* Dependencies
** Required:
	 - A C Compiler
	 - ~make~
	 - ~xorg~
	 - ~libX11~
	 - ~libXft~

** Optional:
	 - ~st~ find my custom improved build [[https://github.com/JozanLeClerc/st][here]]
	 - ~dmenu~

* Installation
To install this open a terminal and run these commands:
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
git clone git://jozanleclerc.xyz/jozan/dwm.git
cd dwm
make
make install clean
#+END_SRC
To use it as a default WM, if you are using xinit, add this to your ~.xinitrc~:
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
exec dwm
#+END_SRC
I am not shure about how to set it up on regular desktop managers like ~gdm~ or ~lightdm~.

* Bindings
Some of the main key bindings:
- *switch* to workspace 1-12 with ~super+{F1-F12}~
- *move* selected stack to workspace 1-12 with ~super+shift+{F1-F12}~
