This software is a basic window manager designed for increasing productivity and practicality, with a concise and compact approach.
If you're looking for a simple and compact window manager that prioritizes productivity and functionality, AntiWM could be the software for you. Based on ratpoison, AntiWM is a keyboard-driven program that operates all windows in full screen mode.
One of the standout features of AntiWM is its comprehensive set of shortcuts. For example, inputting C-t C-c will open a new terminal session, while C-t C-e opens an editor session. C-t C-w displays a program bar that presents all currently open windows, and you can jump to any of them by typing 'C-t C-, followed by the window number. C-t C-p and C-t C-n enable you to navigate to the previous or next window respectively, while C-t C- lets you switch to a specific window number.
If you need to toggle between your current and previous window, simply hitting C-t C-t will do the trick. Additionally, C-t t ensures you can send a C-t command to your current window whenever you need to.
It's worth noting that these are AntiWM's default settings and there's no antiwm.conf or antirc file to edit. Instead, to configure the program, you'll need to modify the settings in 'conf.h' and then recompile it before installing it. Although there's a Makefile included with AntiWM that works for most architectures, you may need to make changes to it to fix any compiling issues.
The installation process is straightforward: just navigate to the folder AntiWM was extracted to with cd /path/to/antiwm/src and run make to compile it. If there are any errors, review the Makefile. Once you've checked everything, use make install to install AntiWM. It typically installs to /usr/local/bin, but if you need it elsewhere, adjust this path in the Makefile. Note that it's necessary to execute installation with privileged user access.
