A floating, tag-based window manager written in Rust

Worm

Worm is a tiny, dynamic, tag-based window manager written in the Nim language. It supports both a floating mode and master-stack tiling with gaps and struts. Check out the screenshots on the wiki for some examples of how it looks.

Build / install

Install Nim >= 1.6.0, for example through Choosenim. Clone this repo and run

$ nimble build -d:release --gc:arc

And you should end up with two binaries; strip and use!

Alternatively, for users using Arch, you can use the AUR package worm-git.

$ yay -S worm-git

Configuration

Autostart

Worm will try to execute the file ~/.config/worm/rc on startup. Simply create it as a shell-script to execute your favorite applications with worm. (don't forget to make it executable).

An example can be found here.

Keybindings

Worm does not have a built-in keyboard mapper, so you should use something like sxhkd. Please read the docs to understand how wormc works before writing your own sxhkdrc.

An example sxhkdrc can be found here.
